Growing Grass Heads

Our grass heads have changed over the last month, some more than others. Below are some of our thoughts about the grass heads.

The grass heads were first just and cup and then a sock. We put some seeds and potting mix in. We had to let it grow for about two weeks before we started to see the grass. Skyla

First we saw yellow grass seeds. Now they have long green grass. Tim

The grass grew long. Hayley

They started off as little seeds, as they days have gone by the grass has gotten longer and longer. Now they are ginormous. Caitlin

They have furry roots that are underneath. Savannah

What do you think are the important things the helped our grass to grow?

Looming Landmarks

On Monday Year 2 headed off on an exciting tour exploring the landmarks of Canberra. First we headed to Mount Ainslie where we labelled the different landmarks we could see.

We headed to Old Parliament House and ate in the Senate Gardens. We even managed to have a huge game of Everyones In on the cricket oval. After we walked to the Foundation Stone which marks where our beautiful city started to be constructed.

The highlight of the day was the boat tour.

Some of us even managed to steer the boat. Luckily we managed not to collide with anyone else.

Share an interesting fact you know about a Canberra Landmark in the comment box. We look forward to reading them.

A flying start to the term...

Yesterday the sky was dark and threatening as the teachers set up for the cross country.

Luckily the skies cleared and we were able to race. We are so proud of everyone doing their best!

Then this morning we had The Ridiculous Rhyme Show.

Tomorrow we will have a special breakfast to celebrate Mother's Day. The hall is filled with amazing art and has been decorated for the occasion.

Can you select a word and write some words that rhyme in the comments box?

Mini Investigation

Yesterday we started a mini investigation. We viewed some information about a world wide problem of litter ending up in the world's oceans.

Students then discussed if this is a problem at Fraser. We collected some data from our classmates on their thoughts.

 

The Turtles went out to have a look to see if there was much litter after lunch play time. Look at how much litter we collected and we have only been back at school for two days.

 Do you think we have a litter problem here at Fraser Primary School?
