What’s happening at Tumut School’s As Community Centres:
What a fabulous first week of playgroups for term 3! The children let their creativity flow at the collage station and modified their cutting skills. They also used letter stampers to construct their names, which is fantastic for letter and name recognition. I was truly impressed by how many children
knew their letters! Next week we’ll be exploring the magic of fairy tales and investigating wooden musical instruments.
Everyone is welcome to come along to playgroup at SaCC it’s completely free and lots of fun for all. Please call Laura on 69476961 or check out our

This week Franklin School received two phone calls regarding our
students on Radio News—Jessica Martin and Maddie Piper.
James Hayes, our mayor, called our school and said “Franklin
Radio News was fantastic. Congratulations to students and staff
for the outstanding Radio News”. We also had a call from a
member of the public, Karin Garner, who said she couldn’t stop
listening because our students were so engaging. Well done Jess
and Maddie—we are proud of our students accomplishments.
