Week 2

Week 2 was yet another busy week for The Dahls. We have been working very hard on our narrative writing with a focus on creating stories using a picture seed and connectives. One of our seeds that we have been working on is The Box. 

All of the classes have also started our new Geography Inquiry, Biomes - Beyond Our Backyard. Each of the classes are currently taking turns learning about the climate, flora, fauna, location and human impact of each of the five Biomes, before we become experts on one of them for our Eco Ernie Earth Fair which will be held later in the year. 

Later in the week on Wednesday, we all participated to earn points for our houses in the cross country. On Thursday, we were lucky enough to go have the traveling Ridiculous Rhymes show visit us at Fraser, where we got to join in the show with lots of rhyming fun!

Finally, we finished off the week on Friday with our Mother's Day Breakfast. We loved having so many parents, grandparents and carers join us to celebrate and enjoy a yummy breakfast and a photo!

What is something new or interesting that you learnt about one of the Biomes?

Indigenous Performance

Welcome back to Term 2. We have already had a very busy start to the term and were lucky enough to have a visiting Indigenous Performer, Sean Choolburra come to Fraser Primary. Sean was born and raised in Townsville and his ancestors are Gu-GuYalanji, Kalkadoon, Kandju and Bwgcolman from around Townsville and Palm Island. He trained and toured internationally with the Bangarra Dance Company and was the creator and leader of the Naroo Dancers. During his engaging and entertaining performance, Sean showed us some cultural dance, while telling us Indigenous stories and we were even able to watch him create a fire with sticks. We also had the opportunity to learn about some indigenous artifacts, including fishing nets, clapping sticks and hunting shields.

 What was something new or interesting you learnt from Sean's performance?
