Spark Arena

#Van Gogh experience
#Happy Place 
#Sounds Fun  

You see these three things at the top that was what we did in Spark Arena. We were very lucky to go there for free but it was only the Year Sixes that went. When I came to school my friend said where going to Spark arena and I was surprised, I did not even know that it was happening today. When it was 9 o'clock the teachers gathered us and said "bring some food". All the year sixes went to the bus and got ready.

When we got there we lined up in two lines then we went inside I was surprised that it was a bar! Us year sixes sat on the ground and they talked us through and they also introduce their self. The first thing was went to was Happy Place. There were lots of cool stuff to take a picture in and there was this mirror section and I thought I would get lost but I didn't. Now the cool part is we got to take a picture jumping in a pit of ball so 1 2 3 we jump one at a time so when I jump on it I't felt very uncomfortable because I couldn't move I use all my power to touch the ground and get out. Tt was very hard. It's like the ball pulling you in the pit but I manage to get out. The teacher took some more pictures and pictures now moving on to our next activity.


Sounds Fun is where you can play different kinds of instruments but not all is there. There was a trombone and I got to play it. I was very bad though at least I got to try. After playing that I listened to some good sound track it was really cool cause you can change it to different sounds. I got kind of bored and I said I will come back to it later so I went to have a look around and I saw electric drums so I went and wait on the line and it was finally my turn. There was a iPad that was like telling you what note to play and I did a pretty good job but on the 2 one not really that good and the third one good I was happy playing it. You know what the last one is.


Van Gogh I know it does not sound cool but it is we got to look at some paintings and I think they were quite popular it was quiet in there we were playing with the graphics on the ground and there was also some videos. Also some of the paintings are from different country's.


I feel good about all this writing I hope you enjoy reading it.

  1. Marcus, this sounds amazing! Did you know that when you went into the Van Gogh part of the experience, all of those pictures were created by the same artist? I think the 'Sounds Fun' would have been my favourite part of the day. I've never played a trombone...what made it difficult to play? I wonder if, in years to come, when you live in your own house as an adult...whether you'll have any Van Gogh on your walls? Thanks for the detailed recount of the day, and the well chosen supporting photographs.

  2. Hmm Ms McGrath I thought all those paintings came from different Artists but it was actually just the same one. Now what made it hard to play a trombone um for me it was blowing raspberry on the hole to make it play. Thank you for commenting on my blog Ms McGrath bye.
