Welcome to our second edition of THE PUPILS’ NEWSLETTER. We were thrilled when we found out that we were

going to be involved in the second Newsletter, it was such a great experience the first time. Our class teacher,

Madame Williams told us to keep the same layout to remain consistent with our original style but with the

addition of an Easter theme. We contacted our Deputy Head, Miss Brown, to discuss the newsletter content,

layout and deadline. Miss Brown spoke to the whole class and congratulated us on our first edition. We hope that

you will enjoy reading some grumpy anecdotes from our Grump

Team or the Ghost stories from our Mystic Team. Our expert team

of journalists interviewed a teacher from our school, but can you

find out who is this mystery guest? Great prizes which include an

Easter hamper, which will be won for solving all of our mysteries

and puzzles! Please share all your

comments on our twitter page.

Message from the Management Team

Rumours have been going on that our Tegfan

unit, currently based in the Science block, is

going to move into a different location within

our school. Staff and pupils at Rhosnesni were

starting to be scared about the things that were

going on in there. There have been many

complaints that it is always cold in the area,

some also felt that someone is watching them.

But it’s not only there that bizarre things have

been happening! Once we came into our

classroom and there were three chairs stacked

on each other! Many paranormal activities have

going on in the school throughout the years.

Once, during the summer holidays the security

alarm went off in the school. The security staff

had to be called in to check doors and windows

and to check if any intruder had entered the

building. They found nothing. They decided to

check the CCTV cameras and something very

chilling was seen. The fire exit door by the

English corridor strangely opened by itself. This

could not have happened with the wind or draft

as the fire door can only be opened from the

inside, furthermore, to open it, a substantial

amount of force has to be applied to the

opening bar. To this day, there has never been a

logical or scientific explanation for this door to

open by itself.

has a mouth but never talks, it

Imagine you are in a room, no

doors, windows or anything,

how do you get out?

On March 3rd Rhosnesni High School participated in the World Book

Day event, which was celebrated in style with our teachers dressing

up for the occasion. Some of our teachers were dressed as characters

from books that they liked such as The Mad Hatter, The Cat In The

Hat, Lady Macbeth and Nora from Hush Hush. We enjoyed being

taught by Maleficent, Peter Pan, a nun and a even a vampire!

At the end of February our Readathon Competition started! This

reading competition is organised between classes of Year 7 and 8 to

encourage us to read more books and raise money for charities

looking after seriously ill children across the United Kingdom.

How many triangles are there?

Let’s see how smart you are!

We would like to

thank James and

Seren for taking the

time to speak to us and answer our questions.

James and Seren are our role models and we are

proud to have had the opportunity to interview

them for our newsletter.

OUR HEAD

BOY JAMES

CLEVERLEY &

HEAD GIRL

SEREN

EDWARDS

Seren, what was your reaction when you first found out

that we were going to be a Head Girl?

I was relieved because of the hard work that I put into

the school throughout the years but I was also shocked

because I was not too sure that I would get it.

What job would you like to do when you leave school?

I would like to become a Primary School Teacher. I like

to work with young children.

Are you happy to be Head Girl, why?

Yes I am because I get to represent the school on a

regular basis and it is also good for my career prospect.

Do you enjoy working with James Cleverley?

Yes I do, he is very organised!

What are the GCSE subjects that you have chosen?

I chose to do Music, Health and Social Care and Child

Development. I love music, I play the piano, the cornet,

the drums and also the guitar!

The little things that grind your gears! Our team of “professional moaners” is forever finding

things in life that really grind your gears. We get very

grumpy when we come back from school, starving and

looking forward to a tasty snack but when you get home

and open the cupboard your mum has left no snack for

you! #grrrr. Or when you put warm and thick clothes on

before going outside and then it gets so warm that you

either have to get changed, get late to school, or worse,

having to carry your coat around everywhere the whole

day! Which will get you even hotter! #rage. Adults just

never get it when us teens throw a fit. Well, we throw a

fit because we are too lazy to speak and when we are

rolling our eyes it means we are connecting to the WI-FI!

Why is it that in the canteen the staff ALWAYS move the

things around? # whereismypizza.

And never go to the supermarket hungry, you always

end up buying crisps, biscuits, pies that you would never

have bought otherwise and you will end up with no

money for the bus!

Do you have any anecdotes that grind your gears?

Please let us know!

THE RHS GHOSTS Another gruesome story from our Ghost Hunters!

The following recount is based on a true story. The

witnesses to this event are unfortunately no longer in con-

tact, but our team of Ghost Hunters found notes left in an

old desk and have pieced together the entire story.

From the notes and pictures that we found, the teacher in

question was a Michael Jackson fan who decided to visit

Michael Jackson’s house in California. It appeared that the

mansion had no other visitors at the time but the security

guard at the entrance told him the following: “Be careful,

you are not alone”. The inquisitive teacher decided to walk

in the rooms upstairs and started talking to a mystery man

in the mirror…. He then heard a voice behind him telling him

to “just beat it”...Scared, the teacher ran off and told the

Security Guard: “someone was watching me”. When he

came back to Rhosnesni and told the story to his colleagues,

they told him it must have been a thriller. The only person

who believed his story was his friend who told him: “This is

it Billie, we are almost there”. The teacher was left

bewildered by the whole event...
