Fun and Fitness

Our Fun and Fitness program is in full swing. We have moved location to the Cyclone Shelter.

This is a much cooler option. Bush dancing is a hit.

P&C

Our first P&C meeting for 2018 will be held at 4:30pm – 5:30pm on Tuesday 20th February.

Please come along and support this positive group of parents. We need you to become

involved. Our P&C provide so much for our students. This can’t happen without you. Get a

group together, come along and share your ideas for 2018.

Year 5 and 6 School Camp

School camps are an important component of the curricu-

lum that Tully State School offers. We anticipate that all

students in Years 5 and 6 will participate. The camp will be

held at the Daradgee Environmental Centre. A note has

been sent home asking for parents to let us know if they

intend on allowing their child to participate. The school

offers a payment system if parents prefer to pay camp

costs by instalments. If you wish to use this option, please

contact the school office.

Kind regards, Jennifer Sloane

News from 4B:

The students of year 4B have started the year amazingly well. What a wonderful class we have! Our science unit this term is all about geology and geomorphological processes. We have been studying the properties of rocks and soil. The students have

enjoyed inspecting properties of a collection of volcanic basaltic, conglomerate metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

6A Science Investigations

6A have been doing lots of

experimenting with various

combinations. This week we

looked at combinations such as

water and yeast; water and sugar;

water, yeast and sugar and just

sugar and yeast. We left these over night and came back to

school with excitement to see what had happened to our

different bottles. We

discovered that the bottles with

yeast and water had started to

blow up our balloons a little bit.

We then noticed that the bottle

with yeast, water and sugar

had blown the balloon up half

way! Check out some photos of our experiment.

LOTE: In December last year LOTE classes across the Ulysses Cluster of schools participated in a postcard exchange with students from Indonesia. Each school prepared and sent a postcard to the ‘Festival Cerita Jakarta’ (Story Festival in Jakarta) and last week our replies arrived! Our students in class have been very excited to read and translate their post cards. Following is the postcard received by our school and a translation of what is written.

“Hello friends at Tully State School. Thank you for sending a postcard to Indonesia. My name is Kaca and I’m a tutor at the ‘Story House.’ In Jakarta, there aren’t any swimming holes but there are a lot of very tall buildings. The population of Jakarta is more than 10 million people. That’s a lot, hey! Hopefully one day you’ll be able to visit us in this city. Warm regards, Kaca”
