Birthday greetings !
February 14th, 2008 is the tenth anniversary of a well known sculpture – the Angel of the North. It has become one of the most famous pieces of public art ever produced. There is a year long programme of events planned to mark its anniversary. Check out Angel of the North to find out more, and for a virtual tour of this huge land mark.
-
The wings of the sculpture are 54 metres wide (measure this out to get an idea of the size). How tall would you estimate it is?
-
About 90,000 people see the sculpture every day! How many is this over a week? A month? A year?
-
This sculpture pays tribute to the industrial history of the North-East. What do you know about the industrial history of our local area?
-
If the angel could speak, what do you think it would say?
Check out our writing blog this week to see some of the work you have produced as a result of looking at Heroes this week!
