Wishing everyone a very safe and Happy Easter and Term break.
A reminder that tomorrow Thursday 6 April is a Student Free Day for State-Wide Moderation.
Our staff will be travelling to Franklin Primary School to work with teachers from across the Huon Cluster for the day.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school for Term 2 on WEDNESDAY 26 APRIL
ANZAC Day will fall on the final day of the school holidays.
Members of our Student Representive Council will be laying a wreath. Any students who wish to attend the Service can meet at 9.45am at the Scout Hall.
Today students enjoyed free dress and playing games organised by the SRC at recess and lunch.
All funds raised from fundraising and the school canteen goes back towards the school. This is used for things such as the purchase and installation of new play equipment out the front of the school, the moveable play equipment you will see in the play areas and other items the students need.
Your support of our fundraising is greatly appreciated both by the school and by the students.

In Year 1/2 music we have been learning how to orchestrate the songs we are singing. Our performance of ‘Starlight Starbright’ at assembly demonstrated how we can play something different to what we sing. To make our music more interesting we added texture with different layers of sound. We added a drone on xylophones, an ostinato which is a pattern that repeats and some colour with a splash of triangle.
In Year 2/3/4 we have now been learning recorder for 6 lessons and we have found that learning to play sensitively as an ensemble is very difficult.
Playing an instrument involves a lot of thinking-
- We have to think of how long we hold the note for.
- We have to think of what pitch the note is.
- And we have to think of how to place our fingers to play that pitch.
- Then most importantly we need to think about blowing gently.
We performed ‘The Mouse And The Moon’ at assembly. We played it so sensitively that you could imagine a little mouse quietly looking up to the full moon on a still cold night.
In Year 5/6 we performed a tune called ‘Trucks Out The Front’ composed by Jacinta Foale. When thinking about how to perform this tune we thought about some of the elements of music. We thought about texture which is how to layer the sounds. We thought about dynamics. We thought about form which are the sections of the piece. By considering these elements we tried to portray an old truck starting up and driving into the distance down an old dusty track.
Congratulations should also go out to this year’s Recorder Consort. ‘The Canoe Song’ was their first performance for the year. Hopefully we will hear more from them in the coming terms.

Thank you to everyone that supported our raffle with either selling tickets or donating Easter chocolate.
We raised $1013 to go to the school. That is an amazing effort!!! A special thanks to all the volunteers who gave their time to help run it, to Woolworths Huonville who donated $300 worth of Easter chocolates and to Katherine Dewhurst who not only organised the donation but sold well over 300 tickets.
The money will go back to the school for our students.

We had a wonderful day at the Huon and Channel Swimming Carnival last Thursday March 30th. Our big team of awesome swimmers turned up in force and we had some great parent help from Reema, Sita, Laura, and Meredith. The racing was intense and the point scores neck and neck until at last Glen Huon and Franklin Primary Schools tied for first place in the carnival. A big thank you to Mr West for organising and encouraging the team. We will host the winners shield in our school foyer for the year so if you’re visiting, come and take a look.
