Mmmm- it was good. At the evening concert, I played my piano solo on a grand piano. The show was very enjoyable to me. Then it was time to go. It was 11 p.m.; I was very sleepy," said Tricia Bos, Grade 5. "The F.A.F. was really fun. We left for London at 8 a.m., and had an assembly at 10 a.m. After that, students went to wherever their event was held in rooms of the London Parental School or church. I was in drama and choral speaking. Then, I had the whole day free to watch competitions or spend time in the films or games rooms. At 4 p.m., all students needing to stay over went roller- skating at Wheels and on to supper. We rushed back to change for the evening con- cert. The whole day was great fun!" said Sandra Vander Wal, Grade 7.
