School Disco

The disco was so awesome! There was lots of awesome stuff there like chocolates, glow toys, chips, a real live DJ, laser lights and a smoke machine. Lots of people danced on the stage representing their class. The top 3 dancers won some chips. We had the time of our lives with the cool new Dancing DJ. For the parents, there was coffee and cake in the staffroom for them. Yum!
