Greetings from Perth! Rise and shine at 5.30am. Chilly weather with a lots of sunshine though... Back at Endeavour School, Mr Hansen, the principal gave all of us a treat to the traditional Australian 'Limmington Cake'. It is a sponge cake covered with chocolate and grated coconut. "Yummy!"
Back in the artroom, everyone let down their hair and got their hands dirty doing some fun-filled printing lessons.
After lunch at Harbourtown Shopping Mall, we went to the Victorian-era Mammal Gallery at the Western Australian Museum. The pupils were fascinated by the huge and varied displays of primitive-age mammals skeleton models and their fossils. They even touched dinosaur 'poo' which after years of landscape, weather and environmental changes had become a 'stone'! Imagine having an artifact at present time which discreetly tells a history of life long ago...
Here, Vienna is being bitten by a native mammal. "Ouch! That hurts!"
A stone's throw away from the museum is one of the busy shopping streets in Perth. The street is flanked with shops along both sides of the walkway and a bronze sculpture of a man doing a hand-stand in the middle. This street is like our Orchard Road (minus the nudging crowd). Our pupils got themselves warm and cosy and started assimilating the beautiful sight of some victorian, renaissance and contemporary buildings. Then their pencils started doodling. VOILA! An artist in the making...
Look at how engrossed the pupils were!
Right after sketching, we proceeded to a nearby Indonesian restaurant for our 'tuka'. We had ayam goreng (fried chicken), beef rendang, omelette and some vegetables with fruits as dessert. It was simply heavenly... Cheers!
Then it was meeting time and bedtime. Goodnight!
