This is our finished art work! It is getting auctioned this Saturday. I'll let you all know how much it went for. It turned out awesome! The kids did all of the work except the little touch up work that Carlie and I did with the black paint.
Last Thursday night I went to a show called Pulse! 2009 at the Sydney Opera House. It was inside the Concert Hall, the most famous hall of them all. It was absolutely amazing. Over 500 Sydney students from 20+ schools (primary to high school) represented and made up the mass choir. Smaller concert bands and dance troupes were also present to perform.
All of the video clips are on my picasa website. Be sure to check them out.
This was part of the Australian National Anthem.
The whole concert was absolutely amazing. There were several different songs performed and dances danced. I truly enjoyed it. I hope that you all find the time to watch all the short video clips so you can hear what it sounds like inside the Concert Hall!
My students have been bringing in their science projects to present at the science fair today. Here are some of their projects. They all did a fantastic job!
The majority of the students did their project on planets. This little boy had by far, the most unique way of presenting all the planets.
Waiting for the other students to come by and see their projects.
Some students just chose to do one planet.
Others just did posters - which were full of wonderful information!This last weekend I also went to Watsons Bay. Part of it touches the Harbor and the other half the Tasman Sea! I can now say I have been to the Tasman Sea. Here at Watsons Bay you can pull your boat right up on shore.
Across the street is Gap Park. This is a place notorious for suicide attempts. People jump into the rocks below during rough seas. As sad and morbid as it is, it is an absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean and cliff sides. The fence they have put up is there to keep people back from the edge and if you are caught on the wrong side of it there is a fine of $200.00.
From the hike you could see the Sydney City Skyline and Harbor Bridge. It was an absolutely gorgeous day out. One of the hottest days so far! There are more pictures (heaps) on my picasa website, along with a few videos showing you how close the Harbor and Tasman Sea are. Down at the Bay there is also a huge park where many people go for a picnic. It overlooks the water and directly at the city skyline. I have found my new favorite place here in Sydney!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the hike in Gap Park.
Halfway along the hike.
Looking back towards the city.
