Amazingly, last Tuesday the year fours went to the Anvil theatre in Basingstoke. We went on a coach and we were having fun on the journey. When we got to the Anvil, we went to our school place.  Firstly, we had a warm up where we had to breathe quickly three times.
We then did a rehearsal of all of the songs and each school practised their performance. Our favourite song was 'The Little Fish that got away.' Some schools were dancing, some were singing but we were the only school where every pupil was playing a musical instrument. It was really fun watching the other schools perform.  We also enjoyed seeing the violins, piano and the rest of the orchestra practising below us. 
Soon it was time for our school to practise our oboe and clarinet pieces which were 'Annie's Song' and 'Firework.' OC accompanied Annie's Song on her harp. We were scared at first but when we started playing we forgot our nerves. 
Afterwards, we went to Pizza Hut and had our salad, pizza and ice cream. Some of us had thin crust and some had deep pan.  We all had different toppings such as cheese and tomato, pepperoni and ham.  Those of us that didn't like pizza could have chicken strips and chips.
In the evening, all the schools had to return to their places on stage and let the parents in.  The orchestra began playing three different pieces. We felt nervous and excited at the same time. Our performance went astoundingly and everyone was so proud of us!!
