Student Voice

Amy Baker and Wade Jones are our roving reporters this week on

Student Voice. They tackle Public Speaking and Sporting

achievements in Cross Country Athletics and League Tag.

Amy:

Hi my name is Amy Baker, I'm a Year 5 student and I love to play handball with my friends Ovanna, Lina, Jarmara and Hannah. At lunch we also like to hang out down on the oval at the gym equipment. I have a big brother and a little sister and I love them both a lot. My friend Lina and I are both in the Franklin Girls’ League Tag team. I’m here to write about exciting upcoming events at Franklin Public School and also what we did at school last week. Last week at school we had League Tag training with Miss Rampling and Mr Roddy. We are training to compete in the next level of League Tag in Wagga Wagga. The girls on our team have some great tagging and passing skills. Maggie Skein is a great player as is Lina Winner and Kayla Gilchrist. We play in Wagga very soon so please wish us the best of luck. Mr Roddy and Miss Rampling were also a great help during our games last week at Twickenham oval in Tumut. Thank you Miss Rampling and Mr Roddy. I interviewed Hannah Matthews about the

Multicultural Public Speaking competition for

2019. Hannah said her topic was “learning

from the past”. The Year 5 team with Hannah

were Jewin-Alexis Cooke, Reegan Oddy

and Sam Martin. Hannah said that it was

exciting but at the same time nerve racking.

Mr Barton still needs to pick the final teams

on Wednesday but hopefully Hannah is one

of the Year 5 team members. Last year

Hannah came second in the competition and

moved onto the first round which was in

Gundagai and she hopes to go one better

this year by making it to the Wagga round.

Hannah said that she wishes all the best to

everyone competing and she hopes all the

students competing have fun.

Hello my name is Wade Jones, I am a Year 5 student with a great teacher, Mr. Woodward. I have two dogs, four chickens, two cats and a sister. I enjoy playing football with my friends Mark, Will T, and Hobie Baker. I play for Young Guns in the local basketball competition. Last Wednesday we had our semis but we lost. Anyway let's talk more about this amazing school. Some students from Franklin went to represent our school at the Highlands cross country in Tumbarumba last week. Students who represented had to run a race track of 1 and a half kilometres which is a long way. The day was really cold and there were a lot of chilly runners that competed in weather of 4 degrees. For Stage 2 runners only had to do 1 lap of the race track. Sadly for Stage 3 runners had to do 2 laps of the race track. I had to go myself for two laps. Other than the cold and the long run course we all had a great time. Franklin Students competed in the Highlands Athletics carnival on Friday and we had an excellent day. The events where 100 and 200 metre sprints, high jump, long jump, shotput and relay. I was in the 100m and 200m sprints, the high jump and the long jump. I hope all the representatives had a great time and good luck to those who get through to the Riverina round.

I interviewed Matthew Ferguson this week to

talk about Highlands Cross Country. I asked

Matthew how he went in the cross country

and whether he enjoyed himself on the day.

Matthew said “Yes it was good fun to go

back to Tumbarumba and also I came first

in the 12 years boys so I hope I will go

well at Riverina” Thank you Matthew, we

hope you do well at Riverina as well!

P&C NEWS CANTEEN will be opening from Term 3 on a Monday for Lunch Orders ONLY,

no recess canteen. If anyone can help out on a Monday please let the front office know it would be much appreciated.

We would like to hold a Morning Tea/get together for all the Volunteers at Franklin on the 2nd July, can we please get anyone who will be coming to RSVP to the front office. We would love to see new faces as well if you have been thinking of volunteering please come along.

SCHOOL UNIFORM - P & C have decided that students can now wear BLACK socks to school instead of WHITE, this was raised by a few parents as white socks are hard to keep white so a vote was put to the P & C and voted in favour of black socks.

BINGO - P&C Fundraiser on Saturday 15th June at Club Tumut, all welcome.
