The group that I was in for fiafia was middle hip hop because we get to wear our costume in front of a thousand and a million of people. It was very scary for all of the performances that had to show their talent in front of everyone that was their to watch Pt England’s fiafia. My song was the skrillex, One Direction, trumpets, Robot Dance. I was very scared because I had to perform right in front of the Adults that was their to watch Pt England school kids to do their dance. Some of us was scared but a lot of us was brave to do our dance.

I am really looking forward to Next years fiafia. Are you so excited of the Next years fiafia? What group are you going to be in for fiafia? And remember do not be afraid of what you are doing.

This is my group Middle Hip Hop, and my tutor is Miss Thomsen
