iPhone 4Scam In my opinion the new iPhone 4S was the most anticipated mobile phone of 2011. However I think that the phone was way overrated. The only major difference from the last model is a better camera and a new voice recognition software called Siri. We asked Jason Bradburry (Gadget show) what he thought of Siri and he said It is a fun distraction. Evidence shows that last September Samsung outsold the iPhone which proves that people were waiting for the 4S and I think they were disappointed. Reports came in November that after charging a couple of times the 4Ss battery had went down to just a few hours. Ex Geography teacher, Mr Sayers says Not impressed with iPhone 4S at all. Siri is fun but a bit gimmicky.

If you have a dream or ambition then just go for it. I did, and now I get to test drive 50,000 cars and throw myself out of planes all in the name of entertainment! Im having a great time and wouldnt have it any other way. Just keep following in what you believe, work hard and listen to people who are in the know and youll go a long way. And dont be afraid to make mistakes. I have, but Ive realised its the fastest and most effective way of learning new things!
Ive gone from a young school boy to a full time commercial radio presenter
self to just the local area and when the opportunity came to move to North West England and work for a station that was regularly pulling in 68,000 listeners per week I couldnt say no and I packed my bags. And thats where I find myself now. In just 3 years Ive gone from a young school boy to a full time commercial radio presenter who has interviewed Kylie, The Script, JLS, Robbie Williams and many others. As well as this, I have set up my own radio school teaching young people how the industry works and how to present and produce their own shows. Im really happy with how things have turned out, but I know its because Ive shown commitment and worked hard. I have a busy time ahead of myself and am still learning everyday, but Im really fortunate to be doing what I love

Feature on a Teacher
Rima Choudhury our R.E. Teacher is getting married !
Katie Appleyard asked her some questions about her Traditional Asian wedding. What are you looking forward to most? All my family, close friends and the community getting together, sharing my special day with me. I am also looking forward to being part of a new family. How is the wedding different from a Traditional English wedding? We have different ceremonies (Mehndi, Wedding and the Walima). Mehndi ceremony tends to be where the bride wears henna, the atmosphere is more relaxed and it tends to be ladies only. Walima is where the grooms family have a party as it is the first time when the bride and groom go to the brides parents house to stay over. Also it is different because it is an arranged marriage and we were introduced by family. What is your outfit like? I have gone for a traditional Asian outfit which is red and it is decorated, it has a western twist - a trail. I chose my outfit from London as there is more of a choice. How are you feeling? Excited but nervous as I will miss my family.

On Friday 13th May 2011 our very own DSMS Library, where we produce the Wyvern, received a 37 LCD TV. We asked Mr Kipling for this TV just after the Japanese Tsunami because students in the school wanted to be kept up-date with what was going on in the news. We also got the opportunity to try on the new school uniform before the rest of the school. The blazers went down well because they had plenty of pockets for mobile phones and iPods. However, because the ties are clip-on, the length cant be altered so the girls arent as happy as they like short, fat ties.
JOHN KING
amused, but in a way that was never offensive or disruptive. It was always his intention to join the Armed Forces and he was the proudest young man when he joined up. As Miss Soulsby, his form tutor said, he was so "made up" the day he told her he was going into the army. As a soldier he will be missed by all his mates and everyone who served with him. As a son and brother he will always be remembered for the brilliant person he was. As a former pupil at this school he will be commemorated in a way that is still to decided, which will happen after discussion with the family. We all miss you John - RIP.

John was an ex - pupil from our school who was tragically killed in Afghanistan on 30th December 2011. Whilst a pupil here John was a highly popular boy with both staff and his fellow pupils. He had a mischievous smile and could always be depended on to keep everyone

OLIVER
At first I thought I would never learn all the lines however eventually after a lot of rehearsals I learnt
Oliver has been a great experience and the dancing is good. ~ Sarah Moitt
Oliver a very, very good production. I have enjoyed making it and I would love to do something like this again. ~ Katie J Appleyard
For more photos visit the Wyverns blog. Charles Dickenss Oliver Twist has came to DSMS. The cast and crew in the show have been working hard since October when the first auditions took place to create the amazing musical. It was a success thanks to Mrs Wilson, Mrs Loughlin, Mrs Hill and around 30 devoted pupils. They had 6 weeks to learn dances, songs and lines. We asked Lauren Wennington how much effort had gone into the production. She said A lot. Everybody has been running around frantically.
Connor Tomlinson, year 7, got the part of Oliver. He quotes I was very proud of myself when I was told I had the part. On Friday 9th December, only a few days before the show, the Wyvern went to the rehearsals to watch and
talk to some of the cast. Everyone seemed confident. We asked Rebecca Richmond, Nancy, how hard has it been to learn lines. She replied Very hard. There are a lot of them. One thing that was clear was that everybody in both cast and crew had fun.

This issue we have decided to give you an insight into one of our Year 9 GCSE lessons. In this article you will get the chance to find out the types of things we do in Textiles and the fun things we get up to including designing what we would like to make however it has to be in a certain criteria. We would also like to show you what the pupils think of this new course that only came in this year. We also spoke to teacher Miss Ford about the highs and lows of teaching this course. The first thing we did when we began in September was to pick a theme for our designs and course work. Out of five differ-
ent
themes
only
three
were
Yr 9 Textiles
The first person we spoke to was Paul Bowen who said that he enjoyed certain aspects of this course but some he felt lacked the fun side this was mainly in the written work section. We also spoke to Natasha who said that she enjoys all the work because it is challenging. Ekuba also spoke to us and e xpr e s s ed these wor ds Textiles is Fun. I prefer it to other lessons. We have a laugh yet get loads of work done. After we heard from the pupils we interviewed Miss Ford and here are the questions and the answers she gave us-
picked. They were dog coats and accessories, the Swinging Sixties and clothing for a three to five year old. All of these had a different place where they had to be suitable to sell as well. After that we did a series of course work which took us up to the designing stage. The type of designs we did were hand and computer generated. From doing that we continued to do the rest of our course work until we got to the making stage. This is where we are currently at. Everyone was very enthusiastic about this stage as it meant we could get more hands on. We asked pupils their opinions on wh a t they were making.
ing to do a fashion show next year with this years and next years products.
If you could make up a textiles sylubus/choice of make what would the design brief be?
In my last school we designed and made outfits /dresses for prob. This was really good and the clothing that we made we included into a school fashion show. I'm hop-

Sport
Mr Hillary regularly organises an interesting activity for Sports Relief We have had teachers dancing, pupils running a mile and in 2012 we have a visit from Mr Skippy! He is going to host our Sports Relief Skipping Mile. The pupils are going to come down from classes one year at a time and skip for the whole lesson. They will complete a 'Sports Relief Skipping Mile'.
The Manchester United vs Stoke City was a match that the school went to and saw a cracking match. The crowd was ecstatic but it took us a good 3 hours to get there. The match started off with a quick pace and was a very good match to watch. Manchester United took the lead through a Javier Hernandez penalty and all around us the fans went mental. The match died down after a while and there wasnt a lot of action until later on in the game another penalty was awarded to Manchester United but this time Dimitar Berbatov stepped up and slotted home the penalty almost in the reach of the unlucky Stoke goalkeeper. The game in the last 10 minutes was very eventful but there were no more goals but almost! Manchester United got awarded a third penalty much to Stokes disapproval but nothing got given. Overall it was a great night for all people involved from the school and we were all very grateful for the school staff that took us to Old Trafford for a day that none of us would ever forget.
Pupils will get sponsorship forms and a house competition will ensue to see which house can raise the most sponsorship money. There will be prizes for the best skippers in each year group and the biggest individual fundraisers. Good Luck Everyone!
