Spectacular Student Last week Bridget Symons represented Franklin School in the Riverina Choir that was part of a mass choir at Schools Spectacular. Bridget rehearsed on Wednesday and Thursday and performed on Friday and Saturday. This was an amazing experience for her. What a great stage to stand on and entertain the audience! We are all very proud of her achievement. Schools Spectacular is an iconic cultural event incorporating students from diverse backgrounds and communities from all over the state. It has been going since 1984 and has grown to become a brilliant showcase highlighting the talents of the students of New South Wales public schools. It is a world-class arena production and one of the largest annual events of its calibre anywhere in Australia and the world. This year it moved from the Entertainment Centre to Alliance Stadium at Homebush. Schools Spectacular has produced many national and international stars. It plays a major role in promoting inclusiveness and reconciliation

Swim School Swim School continues for the rest of the week. The students and instructors have commented on the commitment of the students who are striving to improve their swimming ability.

K/1 STURT IN ACTION

In Literacy we have been learning to write narratives. We have painted pictures of fairy tale settings, created

characters and written about adventures.

These are the 3D shapes we made in

Numeracy.

Our new stand up writing table is very popular. We love being able learn at a standing work station.

In science we have been learning about

chemical changes. We learnt you can freeze

cordial into an ice block and it will melt again. It is a reversible change.

OPERATION ART RETURNS TO FRANKLIN Earlier this year two artworks, one by Max Johnson in K Cook and the other by Lizzy Pascoe in 3 Blaxland, were selected to be entered into Operation Art. These works of art were framed and put on display in a Sydney gallery. Max and Lizzy should be proud of their achievements. Max’s picture was titled ‘My Family’ and Lizzy’s painting was ‘River Journey.’ Both pictures will now be displayed in the Miles Franklin Hall.
