It was an absolute honour to hear students from our Grade 5/6 class perform at the Franklin Folk Club on Saturday evening.
They performed 4 items; the school song, an original song written by the class called Let There Be Peace, You Gotta Sing and finally a percussion piece.
They certainly represented our school very well and received huge rounds of applause.
A big thank you to Mrs Tucker and Elisse Kleiner for accompanying them.

Children will have the chance to see and gently touch many of the sea animals, as well as feeding the little sharks with some pieces of fish!

Congratulations to our Children’s University Graduates for 2022!
19 students completed hours needed to graduate. A big round of applause on a fantastic effort goes to Ashlegh, Pippa, Poppy, Mikayla, Isabelle, Katie, Maya G, Emily, Emma, Reuben B, Quilla, Elise, Clancy S, Marni, Esther, Amelie, Renn, Finn and Elsie. Unfortunately Mikayla was unwell and therefore unable to attend, so a special ceremony will be held at one of our upcoming assemblies to present her with her graduation certificate.
An especially BIG thank you to Mrs Dorian and Michelle Lovell for coordinating Children’s University again this year. Without their commitment each week in helping students record and check on their hours of learning, this program would never be the success that it is.
Any students in Grades 2 upwards wishing to join the program next year, keep an ear out on how to join.
This term we are focussing on a unit of work about the world in which we live. We are researching individual countries, posing questions about the world and publishing answers to make a class book titled “Questions And Answers About The World.” We are also working in groups to research characteristics about each of the seven continents.
We are learning lots about the geographical features of the world and social and cultural facts of countries around the world.
Later in the term we will then compare knowledge about other countries with our own country, Australia. What similarities and differences are there?
The children would like to share some of their responses to the question we discussed as a class.
If you were given three wishes for the world, what would they be?
Here are some of our responses………………….

The Student Wellbeing and Engagement Survey for Year 4, 5 and 6 students is a universal approach to supporting student wellbeing and has provided our school with wellbeing data to support our improvement planning around student wellbeing. This week we are highlighting our school data from the Learning domain, which acknowledges that learners who are supported to be resilient, creative and curious thinkers are more likely to engage in lifelong learning.
