Spark Arena

Today we went to Spark Arena! At Spark Arena, we went into, "Tune forks" Inside tune forks we saw instruments, and pictures of some famous artists. I saw a picture of, Bruno Mars, Ed Sherran, Six60, Taylor-Swift, Imagine Dragons, and some other famous artists. 

There were some helpers who had set up some computers that taught us how to play a drum-pad, and a set of drums. We were very lucky for our school to get picked, following by 2 different schools, (Royal rd, and Linking rd.) Suzy Cato told us there are three different places, Happy Place, Sounds Fun, and Van Gogh. We got to go to Happy Place first. 

Happy place is a place to have fun and to be happy. In Happy Place is big ball pit that's right up to my chest! The instructed told us (Me, Dev, Ibriham, and Nijel.) to jump on his count but when he said "You guys have to jump-" Ibriham jumped in head first into the ball pit! When we had all jumped in, we were all laughing as the teachers took photos. When Nijel jumped in I  literately couldn't see him! His whole body was inside the pit! 

It was really enjoyable, but at the same time, it was hard. I had a hard time getting out, but it was quite funny. Once I got out, I went to this space where heaps of chains were. (If you've ever been there, you'll know what I'm talking about) Eventually, I bumped into myself about 6 times, and it was so confusing. I also scared Naweed (Sorry Naweed.), then I saw a room that was all yellow, and had yellow ducks around the walls with a bathtub in the middle of the room. I didn't want to try it out, because it felt quite creepy for me.

 
There was also a disco room, and Mason was really busting out some poses. There was also a upside down room. We had to either jump, or act like it was natural. But obviously you would have to jump, we also tried not to  smile to make it look real. Then we had to go back to tune forks, and played some instruments which is called, Sounds Fun.

At Sounds Fun, we played instruments, sang songs, and learned to play some beats.

I came across a drum set, but this was a ordinary drum set, it was an electrical drum set! It looked futuristic, and bright. There was a screen attached to it, telling you when to hit the drum, and when to tap your feet. If you get all green, it means you got a perfect score and you get heaps of stickers. Then I went to the other side of the room, and tried out an instrument, I forgot what it was called, but it felt like I was playing in a marching band. Then we went to Van Gogh.

Van Gogh is basically an art gallery with all, 'Van Gogh's' art in digital. Van Gogh painted heaps of people and flowers. I think it was Martin who said, "The people that Van Gogh painted, is probably all his his friends who died." I agreed with Martin. There were heaps of beautiful flowers, and houses, with some dramatic music in the background. There was also a train, I still don't understand why there was a train, but I think it has something to do with his past. It felt really cool going to Spark Arena, and it was a whole lot of fun.
