Our Place of Unity

Our part in the Festival of Education 

A recount by Room 17

Do you know what it feels like to be a movie star? Well, now we do!

On Tuesday the 25th of February Brad came to Sylvia Park School to film Room 17 singing the Festival of Education song  called A Place of Unity. 

Before Brad came to film us we practiced a lot which was good because we all knew the words and the tune by the time he came. First we were filmed standing outside Room 13, we had to stand as if we were a choir. It was really good and we were really loud. Brad was really impressed. Some students got to have close ups because they were using lots of expression when they were singing.
Next we changed locations and sung the song while running and dancing and pointing to our murals and our sculptures. We filmed by the Kai Tiaki sculpture in the garden, outside Room 20 and also on the senior climbing wall and playground.
Finally Brad took group photos of us beside the SPS graffiti wall. Some of the boys made a human pyramid and it was pretty awesome.

We felt like we were movie stars and we can't wait to see the final cut.
