Sculpture by the Sea

Every year Sydneysiders are presented a spectacular international art exhibition, Scultpure by the Sea. Last Tuesday our two AMEP classes (A & B) went to see it. We were very fortunate with the weather, but I wont' tell you any more about it. Visit our students' blogs and read their recounts about the day.

So, class, this is what you have to do today:

• recount about the day
• description of your assignated sculpture and your opinion about it
• talk about your favourite sculpture/s
• Add photos or an album
• Chose a photo of you and a sculpture and enter the abc competition
• Listen to what other visitors thought here
• read this newspaper article about one of the winners, Mona Aghababaee. What do you think about this item of news?

Catch up work:

• go to the forum and write your opinion on disciplining children
• write an opinion text about physical punishment
• write a letter to the editor about smoking
