BSB Junior Editors University Club
We are the BSB News Blast Junior Publishers.
We write articles for the BSB News Blast. We do
interviews and use cameras to take pictures for the
news paper. First of all, we discuss what we want
to write in the meeting room and then when it’s
approved we go off to the ICT suite. Now we do my
favourite thing, the writing. After that, we help each
other to edit our work. At the end of the university
course Mr.Hamacher gives in our work to Mr. Peet,
the editor of News Blast. If it’s good enough it will go
into the magazine but if it’s not good enough it won’t
make it in and it’s back to the drawing board.
Monster Storms Course
◄ The BSB NewsBlast Junior Editors: Igor, Thomas, Rhea, Mena, Calista and Anna, who was absent.
In our university we are studying monster storms. So
far we’ve studied hurricanes and tornadoes. We’ve
learned that both types of storms need moisture,
warm air, and energy to form. We also learned
that the storms can be different strengths called
categories. Monster storms are very dangerous and
cause destruction.

The Rowing Course
◄ Students experimenting with devices to imitate some of the phenomena that occur during storms
In rowing we have been learning pace, speed and
rowing technique. We are all aiming to row a total of
just over 11,000 metres which would give us a grand
total of 55,000 metres. There are four people in the
rowing course- me, Johann, Basil and Cinar. We are all
from 6U and are enthusiastic rowers.

University Cooking Course

I like this course because we are learning how to
cook. When I grow up I want to learn how to do all
kinds of food. We have cooked cake, pizza, papanasi
and Raffaello. The other reason why I like cooking is
because it is fun and I learn a lot. Also I can teach my
mum how to do all these foods that I did in cooking.

World Cup History
Codebreakers Alert!
Ross, Sarah and Suparnan
writing codes, Year 5
I think that football World Cup History is really fun! I
also lean a lot. I think it’s clever because we learn and
have fun! I think everyone likes World Cup History.
In football World Cup History we have been learning
about the first World Cup all the way up to guessing
In our Codes and Codebreakers University Course we
have been learning about all the different codes that
people from long ago and today have been using.
There are picture codes and a man called
Giambattista della Porta made up a code of
boxes and dots which we learned. Then we used
substitution codes, using a different letter or number
about the next World Cup in 2010. We have also been
looking at the best goals, saves, star moves etc. I
recommend this to anyone who likes football and
would like to play or lean more football.

for our message. We also
learned about Morse Code and Call Sign Codes and
next week is Braille and Sign Language.
Every week we have to write a message in one of the
codes for someone else to solve. Sometimes it’s hard
to work out. It’s a fun course to do. Everyone should
try it!
