Year 8 Focus Day

On Monday the school had a focus day. The Year 8 focus day was based on the enviroment around us. We learnt about Penyore & Prasad; the people who designed our school, we created our own artwork and we really enjoyed doing the spray painting.

ADT after school club

Miss Yule has a drop in after school club for anything you want to do in ADT. This is on Tuesdays and Thursdays in D45 in her room. She welcomes all Years and lets you play music of your choice.

Well done everyone!

The school was aiming for a target of £1000, but instead we raised a whopping £1938!


Congratulations everyone on your hard efforts!


All the money will go to the East Africa famine relief, where it will help with food, clothes and water resources.


Hip-Hip Hooray!  :-)

Year 7 Football Match

On 11th of October the Year 7 football team went to Ashmole School and played a successful 2-1 win.


It was a tough match.  We went 2-0 up before half time.  It was a tense second half when there was a sudden break for our opponents.  Joe, one of our defenders, went to close the ball down.  He failed.  The ball was crossed down the wing  then played back into the middle and they scored from a header.We carried on with our heads high to hold of a brilliant team and win 2-1.

Yr7 Focus Day: St Paul's cathedral

On Monday 17th October Wren Academy had a focus day and the Year 7's went to St Paul's Cathedral and their House church. We learnt lots of new things like St Mary's Le Bow was the second most expensive church that Sir Christopher Wren designed. One of the main things we did when we were there was drawing the church and the parts of the building.

Here are pictures of the places we visited:

Focus day number two: Year 10

This focus day Year 10 were learning about drugs, the law, what effects there are and how it has ruined lives. We had a number of visitors. Darren Gold told Year 10 about his experience with drugs and how his children are the best highs he ever had and how he regrets his drug-taking. We also had a police officer who has been coming to Wren Academy since we were in Year 7 and most people know her from primary school. Officer Siobhan taught Year 10s about drugs and the law; she used examples about how they hid drugs in their clothes and how police officers would stop at nothing to find them. Also we had the Wren Academy teachers lead an activity which involved a photo story and in groups you had to create still images to show how to solve risks and how you should do the right thing. They also made us recognise the types of drugs and what to stay away from.

Yr 7 focus day to St. Paul's and St. Andrews

Y8 Football

I am afraid to say that with the football this week the Year 8 footbal team lost 5:0 to East Barnet, this is our worst loss and we are sorry that we  did not win the match. We put in 120% effort but we couldn't get a goal in the net.

New Fronter

Our school uses a website called Fronter to give out some of our Home learning, and other schools may have used this too, and have probably noticed that it has completely changed. It's layout has changed and for some people it is a hassle, but it's probably going to be one of those things where we're going to have to get used to it.

Y8 Football

The Yr8 football team surprised the school by winning 3:2 against Compton. We played as well as we could, unfortunately we had no subs - we were all so exhausted by the end of the match!
Our coach (Mr Boal) guided us through the event. He helped us with the formations and he also chose the team that brought us closer to winning.

Year 9 Focus Day

A follow up from our previous focus day, we are carrying on choosing the perfect job preference that suits us. During the week we filled out a form and rated activities 1-14. We will be placed into groups with people who put the same preference, we will be spoken to by parents, teachers friends and other people outside of school. They will hopefully advise students who are interested in that certain career. Some of the options available were: law, pilot, design illustrations, architecture and many more.

GCSEs

In Year 10 students have started their three GCSE choices and the other GCSE subjects from History and Geography to ADT and Drama. There are also GCSE options where some students go to Friern Barnet for subjects like Spanish and Hair and Beauty. This shows that students are trusted with the responsibility to go that extra mile with learning. There are new subjects for example Business and Economics and also Music. There are subjects for more academic GCSE's also fun GCSES.  In ADT there is a mixture of topics that are being studied: Product Design and Fine Art and lots more. In history GCSE students are learning about America's history, for example the Economic boom. Drama students are doing improvisation and script work.  


Business and Economics has some classes of only Wren students and some a mixture of Wren and Friern Barnet students.  Most business and Economic students have just started a new topic.  The first Topic Question was Can you beat the dragons?  The new question is Can you be the next Richard Branson? These GCSEs give students a chance to express different interests which they've not had the chance to do before.  It can also give students an idea for making sure that they know what job they want to do in the future from mathematician to lawyer.

English Yr7

This week in English Year 7 have been focusing on a book set in WW1; called Private Peaceful. They have been researching WW1 to help them understand the book better. Then they used their creative ideas and put all their information into a poster. The information about WW1 that they found helped them understand the emotions the characters were feeling. During their lessons they have been thinking about empathy and how individually they would feel if they were experiencing WW1 by writing a diary entry; describing how they would feel if they were living in trenches and doing some drama in pairs. One person was a news interviewer and the other a soldier. The reporter had to ask the soldier questions about life in WW1.
