Trip To Spark Arena

 Trip To Spark Arena

Hello and kia orana. Today's blog post is about the year six trip to the Spark Arena in Auckland.

When I and the year sixes entered the arena, we were welcomed by a lady who was called Suzy Cato and when we entered, we were followed by more kids from other schools. Suzy told us that she was on 'The Masked Singer' TV show and in the past when our teachers were little kids, they used to see her on TV.

First we were headed to a place in  the Spark Arena called the Happy Place. At the Happy Place, we all saw little mini slide that I didn't want to go on, but I was shocked when some of the year sixes went to have a try. When we were crossing the building, we saw the ball pit they said that we were going to play in. We went in a single line to get to have a jump and only three people are allowed to go at a time. After having to get out which was the hard part, we then were told to go to put on our shoes and start walking along the part of the building to where we saw three big boxes and each of them had an effect. One box was covered in yellow rubber duckies with a bathtub inside it, the other one had long white chains hanging above it and the last one had little mini, shining squares stuck to three sides and there was a fan in a corner to make it move and also to make it shine in every direction. After we took a picture of ourselves in each boxes we then moved on into a room that had a big fat cookie in it. It was plastic, but the choc chips were mini doors so we could poke our faces out of it. Meanwhile, when other kids were checking out the Big, yummy looking cookie, I was in the other room looking at a up-side-down bed. I thought it was for a bat to sleep up-side-down, but it was actually for a picture.

After Having fun at the Happy Place, we went back down the building to Sounds Fun. It was where we were welcomed by Suzy. Now we were going to have a play on the trumpets, listened to some music from speakers, and having a try on a device where we could play two games. We got to use a loop machine too.

And last but not least, we went to see paintings that the famous Van Gogh painted. It was a bit boring at first, but when we stayed a little longer, I started to like the interesting features of the paintings.

It was a great trip, we were very lucky.
