Weekend Post #2

First off sorry for not posting in a while it’s been a difficult week, but I am now ready to get back to regular posts, and I have a big line up. This weekend was another exciting two days off school.

Saturday was Anzac Day and Australians and New Zealanders celebrated 100 years since the ANZAC Forces landed in Gallipoli to fight for our country. This is a day were we are proud and honour those who fought for our country and pay our respects. We made Anzac biscuits in the morning, which are one of my favourite biscuits. The delicious smell filled the whole house.

Later in the day my family and I headed out to the city to watch our Rugby League Team (Roosters) play against St. George. Both teams are one of the oldest teams in the competitions. This game is played against each other every year on Anzac day, one of five Anzac rugby games played across Eastern Australia and New Zealand. This is the first time I have been to the Anzac game. The beginning ceremony was really lovely with many tributes to the soldiers. The National Anthem was played, followed by the last post, and a minute silence.

Unfortunately the Roosters lost, but it was a close game with a low score of 14-10. During the first half of the game, the clouds came and rain started to pour. The game was only postponed when hail started to pelt from the sky. After a massive storm in the first 3 days of the week, we thought the rain was over. Sydney Siders got a slight taste of ‘snow’ as the city and suburbs were coated in hail which looked light snow. It sure made for an interesting sight and day. The game resumed after the worst of 

the storm had passed.

On Sunday I went to Newington with my mum to see the Art Express Exhibition at the Amory. Art Express is combined of five exhibitions around Sydney, comprising of top HSC art major body of works, (artworks).

You may have seen an earlier post a couple months ago when I viewed an exhibition in the city on opening day. Now on the last day I saw a second showcase. Again the artworks were of very high standard and were really inspiring. As an art student it can be quite overwhelming looking at really good examples of what I will have to produce in Year 12, but for now that is two years away and I have a long time to think about my body of work.

It was a rainy morning so we decided to head home after viewing the artworks, instead of our usually stop at the Amory Wharf Café. A post of my favourite artworks will be up soon, so stay tuned!

Now tonight I will be doing a lot of homework and work on assignments and assessments- fun!

Hope you have a lovey weekend.
