Spacejock novels by Simon Haynes.

send it to pat.tighe@wanews.com.au by 1 September2008.
The best entry will be published in ED!

Simon’s first book is available to students as a free online download.

or read the next edition of ED! Magazine

Put those three elements rogether and the result is the AMOS Art Competition.

The Australian Meteorological & Oceanographic Society  is an independent Australian environmental society that supports and fosters interest in meteorology, oceanography and other related sciences.

Poets, artists, musicians and writers have long been inspired by the oceans and the atmosphere. Just think of all the all the weather and ocean songs that have been sung and the wonderful poetry; stories that have been written and atmospheric ocean paintings hung on gallery walls.

Students of all ages are invited to join in that inspiration and enter the AMOS Art Competition and entries close on September 26th 2008

Combining a study of the Oceans with an art competition could be appealing to both teachers and students. Inspiration and resources can be found on the CMIS Oceans Theme page and the Shipwrecks page

The two people will be chosen as winners [one primary and one open], will have the opportunity to exhibit their work at the 2009 AMOS Conference.  Other prizes include AMOS membership, a cash prize and a book for the school library.
