In Hume, the students have been learning about light and sound in their science unit called ‘Look, Listen’. This week they have investigated vibrations and have started to learn about how sound travels. They enjoyed conducting experiments to observe the vibrations made by strumming the strings of the guitar, by tapping the drum of the tambourine and by feeling vibrations on the surface of a balloon that were made when someone spoke nearby.

Multicultural Public

Speaking

Nicola Walsh, Anna Stuart, Alasdair

Wray and Patrick Stuart

showcased their public speaking

skills at the regional finals of the

Multi-Cultural Public Speaking

Competition in Gundagai.

Students were confident and

relaxed delivering their prepared speech. Tensions rose when speakers were given

five minutes to prepare their impromptu speech. Topics for the impromptu speech

were “Funny Business” (Years 5 and 6) and “Scary Stuff” (Years 3 and 4). Yet, Franklin

students rose to the occasion and presented some amazing speeches.
