Alice Brown , head teacher at Falmont Primary School , was teaching when the floor began to shake . Her students ’ reaction was quick and correct - they moved under their desks , head first , and held on to the legs of the desks . At the same time , Miss Brown quickly opened the classroom door , in case it became damaged during the shaking and could not open . There were loud crashes of glass breaking and things faling to the ground , but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly .
