Talk on ‘The decline in health of marri’ by Dr Sarah Sapsford

First time I noticed the Marri tree while walking at Kings Park. There was a small information board near the tree mentioning its name and species. Then I saw the poster of the talk “Saving the Marri” at the City of Perth Library and I decided to attend it.

“Wow, this paper plane really comes back to your hand!”

We received a ‘Zoomerang’ gift from Sanny Ang. It is a paper airplane that can come back to us after being thrown into the air at an upward angle. Sanny even made a zoomerang in front of the class in under 50 seconds!

How do you portray a character on stage and convey emotions to viewers when the story demands the scene to be set in complete darkness?

I couldn’t believe it. The history of cookies and biscuits industry displayed in the ‘Reflections’ exhibit at Boola Bardip Museum is very interesting.
