Dear Subway Management,

Hi! We are the year 7/8 Hornby High School students. We will be hosting a colouring

Science will be twice per week.

• Lesson 1: This will be an Experiment that involves blogging. You will be expected to open a new post, copy Mr Palmer's blog and paste it on your new post.
