This term students in Grade 2 have been learning about rocks, soils and landscapes. In writing students used the knowledge they have gained through Inquiry to create information reports about famous Australian landmarks including Uluru, Kakadu National Park, Bungle Bungle and The Pinnacles. Students had to work in pairs to find the information they needed and create their information report.
