Tuesday 21st April 2015 Edition 11 Week 1 Term 2

Welcome Back!

What a busy and exciting term we have in stall for all

students.

This term sees the return of the ‘Footstep Dance Program’

Students covered by FranklinCover will be attending this

program each Friday morning.

Bluearth continues every second Wednesday and Middle

School commences in Week 2 for our Year 6 students.

I would like to

welcome Mrs

Sophie Grivas to

our permanent

teaching staff on

5-6G, along with

Mrs Lisa Pierce

who will be

working with 1P

until this position

is filled in the near future.

This Saturday is ANZAC DAY. Our school captains Leith

and Elijah will be attending the Dawn Service to read the

names of some of the local soldiers who were killed in

action in WW1.

Students in years 3-6 who are interested in joining a choir

for the 10am march are invited to come to school tonight at

6pm to practice with the town band.

SAFETY RESPECT ACHIEVEMENT

GREAT GALAXIES MONDAY Week 3 - $5.00 per student if not covered by FRANKLINCOVER

The show begins with Jared building a three dimensional, moving model of our solar system (approximately one thousand millionth of the real size). First he produces a one and a half metre round sun. Around this bright colourful sphere students are given to hold the eight major planets, the recently demoted Pluto, over sixty

moons and the asteroid belt. There are solar flares, exploding volcanoes and earth launched space probes that demonstrate how when taking a trip to another planet you don't head towards it but to where it will be in its

orbit when you get there. Part comedy routine, part science lecture, this fast paced commentary with plenty of laughs and audience

involvement, is full of fascinating facts about our earth and the solar system in which it orbits.

TUESDAY 28 APRIL 2015

TUMUT GALA NETBALL DAY Franklin Public school had a very successful day. We

played 5 games and while there were a few close games,

we ended up undefeated and came in first place for the day. This means that Franklin will go through to the next

round (possibly in Wagga early this term).

All girls played brilliantly and demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship. Grace King was a standout shooter and

Leith Turner in defence.

Special thank you to Jess Beer for umpiring for us on the

day and to the parents who drove and stayed to offer support.

Results:

Franklin v McAuley 11 - 1 Franklin v Tumba B 8 -2

Franklin v Tumb A 5 - 3

Franklin v Gundagai 5 – 4
