Charles goes paintballing

What a blast as Charles and I hit people with
the paintball gun. shot Charles, you hit my
brother Isaac in the back. nobody could get
you because you were the most camouflaged
and quickest there. When game one of
capture the flag had finished of course our
team won.
Then Charles was worn out so he decided he
would come and sit with my mum because he
was sore but he still had a blast sitting too.
Thanks for joining me Charles from McKenzie
Hanlen 7js.

We have been working on our debating skills in Year 9 classes these last couple of weeks. It has been fun! Lots of persuasive words and phrases have been used...I found this Slideshare that might be useful as we enter the last round.

Year 9 Research Projects

The Year 9 classes have completed their first research project for the year, here are a selection. Students created newspaper articles, letters, maps and diaries based on their research of WW1.

Secret Codes!

The Year 7's have started their work based around Communication and the history of writing. Today as it was Fun Friday they were developing secret codes and then writing them in invisible ink to be deciphered by their friend. Both lemon juice and milk were tried...with lemon juice being the most successful.

The lemon juice was used to write the code, then the secret message was revealed as heat from the iron was applied to the paper!
