Our Class 2006

Sculputure by the Sea

Many of you guessed the flowers two weeks ago. Yes, they were hydrangeas, but I must tell our Canadian Anonymus (see last week's comments) that it is not a pale variety. It is simply a very young bud, still growing. today I went to photograph them again and you can all see the difference.



This is another flower growing in my garden right now. Do you know its name and where it comes from?


Last week's photos showed some of the places where I took my cousins from Spain. One of them was Sculpture by the Sea from Bondi to Tamarama. It is a spectacular walk on any given day, but doubly interesting form November the 2nd to November the 19th. Last year I was thinking of going to Sculpture by the Sea with my class. We never had time to do it, which is a pity as it is one of the best Sydney things or Sydney moments ever. You could take your friends and family there.

Can you search the net to find out how you could get there by public transport? Write your answer in your blogs.

1. You can also add to your blog a link to a good website with information about Sculpture by the Sea and some photos. My students posted very nice ones last year.
   

• Vaucluse House

Next Tuesday we are going to visit Vaucluse House and Nielsen Park. Search the website (ther's a very good informative section in Education-Fact Sheet. and write 5 questions about Vaucluse House. Then give the questions to a classmate to answer. Write the ansers in your blogs, but do it as a paragraph, not in dot form.

• Nielsen Park

Try to find information about Nielsen Park. Where is it? How can you get there? What can you do there?

• Movie reviews.
  Last week were working on a movie review. Go to Time4English and in themenu select Movie Reviews. Listen to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and chose another movie that you have seen yourself.
• Write a review of a movie you really like. Remember to follow a structure similar to the one we saw in class: Introduce the movie-talk about the plot-the director-the acting/main actors-classification (rating)-general evaluation (*****). Post the review in your blog and find a good link to go with it.
• Today you can write your opinion in our forum. Hopefully TAFE security will allow us to work on all our projects!
• Finally, check out two of your podcasts: Layla and Yuki and Sophie's radio program. Sorry I'm being very slow in uploading the others, but I've been so busy creating a blog for some research on social software (and my son needs the computer for his HSC assingments) that I've only done a bit of editing on 2 of them. Keep posted, they'll eventually appear!
