Rock Bottom Rocks

The next week was production week for all the year 3 and year 4 classes.  Room 18 was in cast 1 in the musical production, Rock Bottom Rocks.

Getting ready for Show Time on Thursday night.

Our costumes were yellow with black triangles of sticky tape so that we looked like we were wearing leopard skins.

Waiting backstage for our cue.

Everyone enjoyed our crazy dance to the song, Rock Bottom Rocks.
