HPV Vaccination
Since September 2008 there has been a national programme to give girls aged 12 to 13 a vaccine against cervical cancer (HPV). This age group is usually in Year 8 at schools in England.
The programme is delivered through secondary schools and consists of three injections, each one given every six weeks, although they can all be given over a period of 12 months.
In the UK, from September 2008 to July 2010, at least 4 million doses of Cervarix (the HPV vaccine) have been given.
Before we had the vaccination, the Wrenbloggers asked people how they felt about getting it.
Many people said they were scared, and didn't want to have it. Then we asked people that already had it how they felt afterwards. Most people felt fine, but some felt dizzy and sick.
The year 8 girls are having their second injection in 4 weeks.

Drama assessment
On Thursday 8th December year 7 did a drama assessment. Each group acted out a different scene from A Midsummer Night's dream, a traditional Shakespeare play. It was a speaking and listening assessment. We each took on a part and have now performed and waiting for our results!
Public Speaking
On Friday 25th of November we had a Public Speaking Competition. Many people took part and it was enjoyable listening to what people had to say, overall it was a great success and all the people that took part gave house points to each house which contribute to their overall total.
