RS GCSE for the year 9s

On Tuesday 15th May all the Year 9s had their first GCSE; the RS exam. Everyone had different opinions on how hard it was as some thought it was easier than the mock, but others thought it was harder. Since the Year 9s knew what was coming from the mock they had had not long before, eveyone was more aware of their timing and kept a sharper eye on the clock. The test was 1hr 30mins and was made up of 4 sections equalling to 80 marks total for the whole test. Let's hope we got a high mark!

Asking about enrichments

We asked some students if they enjoyed their enrichment, and here are the results!


YES: 9 students
OK: 4 students
NO: 1 student

Sports teams

At Wren we have many great sport teams to join, we have football, basketball, netball and athletics.
The year 8 girls' football team have had a fantastic season and came 1st in the premier league. The boys have also done very well and came 2nd in the premier legue.

Year 8 focus day

On the focus day year 8 did about presentation matters and they had to make a presentation about a product. They had to make their presentation as persuasive as possible so the judges would buy the product. The activity was a recreation of the style of the apprentice.

Year 9 Focus Day

On Tuesday 24th April 2012, the year 9s had a focus day on healthy lifesyles.
It gave us information on drugs, healthy eating, fitness and mental health. For instance we were able to visit the ask FRANK website to see the VERY LONG list of dugs from A-Z. We were also able to see what types of mental health problems people had, eg. OCD, Anoerexia, Depression.
Overall, this day helped us a lot as we were able to watch videos about the topics and how the people went about in thier lives and how to try and live healthy ourselves.

Unexpected arrival at Wren.

On Wednesday 25th April at around 12:10pm there was a sudden loud noise that got all of our attention. As our Sixth Form Centre has just started to be built many people thought that it was the builders and the building work. As it got louder people started to realise that it wasn't the building work but it was a helicopter. We were all surprised at the sight of an Air Ambulance landing right in the middle of our School Playground. We were just about to leave our lessons when it arrived, but we had to stay in the lesson we were in until we got clearance from the Air Ambulance Crew. As we departed for our next lesson (or lunch) around 10 minutes late we all passed the helicopter and we were amazed it had landed in our playground!  We had to pull the blinds down in our classrooms so we couldn't see the casualty being brought to the helicopter. However when we heard the helicopter start up, we were allowed to open the blinds and see it take off. It had been in the Playground for about an hour before it took off, as we heard the rotors start up, we opened the blinds and went to the window. As it had been raining very heavy while the helicopter was on the ground, when the rotors started, all the water that flew of was amazing! When it finally took to the air the Co-pilot gave us all a wave and then the helicopter was off into the distance carrying the casualty to a hospital in Central London.

We can say that the injured man was a truck driver that had been chasing after his Sainsbury's truck after it had been stolen. The man tripped over and injured his head severely so that he needed immediate attention and had to be taken to Hospital by helicopter. The school was the closest place that the Air Ambulance could land because it was on the side road behind the school.

Let's all hope he get's better soon and that the criminal is caught.
