Band quest

On Friday Henry,Aaron, Matt and I went with the rest of Ace of Spades (our rockband) to the Aurora Centre to perform at bandquest. We arrived at 4.15 for a rehearsal in front of the other bands and got a little bit of mentoring. Then at 7.00 people started arriving for a 7.30 start. The stage looked really cool with the multi- coloured lights and a smoke machine but instead of it making us excited, the nerves kicked in. Finally after several hours it was our turn to perform. Walking onto the stage was really exciting with the crowd cheering. As we got ready Chris (the m.c) introduced us. Then we were ready to play our first song; One day by Opshop. We began and the crowd went wild. The next song we played was Mercy which felt incredible to perform.At the breakdown in the song we got the audience clapping along,it was awesome. As it concluded we walked off the stage. When we got backstage our excitement levels were through the roof!

Swimming According to Matt

Room 5 had a great fantastic amazing time at swimming for two weeks, full of breaststroke, backstroke and freestyle. We had an array of instructors who taught us brilliantly. We walked to the pool and back, but that was only down side.
