Monday 17 March 2014 Edition 8 Week 8 Term 1

Yesterday we said goodbye to the Year 5 and 6 students

who were heading to Milson Island. They were all very

excited to be leaving and we all hope they have a great

week. We anticipate that they will arrive back in Tumut

between 5 and 5.30 on Friday afternoon. We will confirm

the approximate time on the school sign before the end of

the school day.

Last Friday we had AusKick come to Franklin to run a

skills program from Kindergarten to Year 6. The students

had a great day developing their football skills.

LUNCH BOX – PARENTS PLEASE HELP

Students need nutritious food to do their best learning at

school. A healthy lunch box will include fruit and sandwich/es and only ONE treat.

Unfortunately an increasing number of students have a

lunch box with only TREATS - chips, soft drink and processed food like packets of Tiny Teddies or roll ups.

At school, Recess and Lunch are times for eating and for

being active. There needs to be a balance with the amount

of food placed in the child’s lunch box to ensure the child is not hungry and also allow the student time to play.
