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

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”
