Monday 23rd

November 2015 Edition 38 Week 8 Term 4

On my morning walk around the school last week I popped

into most classrooms and I was proud to see the outstanding work from all students. 2A was busily engaged

in reading groups with all students working and learning.

They have produced the most amazing projects on how they

have grown and changed.

1S were so proud of

their hard work and keen to show me how

they have improved

in reading and writing.

3R was writing and

keen to put pen to

paper about what they had been up to

recently. I had the

privilege of watching 3-4R perform their

assembly item for

me, as I was at a Principal’s meeting and missed it. It was great!

When I popped into 5G I found the ‘mind break’ too

challenging, having to coordinate left and right hands and

fingers proved far too difficult for me.

Year 6 was busy

learning songs for the

end of year function.

The school is busy and

all staff and students

are working every

minute to ensure great learning is happening in

all classrooms, every

day.

WHITE RIBBON DAY On Thursday a group of helpers will be

selling cupcakes at the school canteen

to raise money for White Ribbon Day.

They will be on sale at recess time

only. Bring along some money to buy

cakes for this cause.

This week we will have

Ghana Beat My Drum

performing in the school hall

at 2pm on Thursday. The cost

will be $4.00 if not covered

by FranklinCover.

Ghana came to Franklin School last year and the students

were fully engaged and had a great time playing the

drums and learning about a different culture.

Circus Skills Come to Franklin! Last Wednesday students from Kindergarten to Year 2 enjoyed a sunny day full of exciting activities! Infant students enthusiastically participated in a variety of fun circus tabloid activities which included

opportunities to develop skills with the parachute, hula hoops, kites and ribbons. The spirit of sportsmanship and fun was evident by the amount of cheering coming from the classes! Students cooled down with a special

treat after lunch. During the afternoon session they were entertained by Heidi Hodeo’s Circus Rodeo Performance and her zany costumes, circus skills, shadow puppets, neon hoops and magic rope!

In 2M this term we are studying a unit called ‘Watch it Grow.’ We are learning about the life cycle of Mealworms and how

living things grow and change. We discovered that Mealworms start as an egg. When they hatch they are called Mealworms.

Then they start to pupate then they turn into the Darkling Beetle

Lavina and Sienna investigating the Darkling Beetles.

We have been participating in writing and reading groups. We have been working on our comprehension skills, writing

entertaining stories, finding facts about animals, working on the XOs and working on our reading skills and strategies.

Matthew, Preston,

Jessica and Lucy

XOs.

Adrian and Kian are busy finding
