Big Facts


With some cool new kit purchased, Wildern Radio took the time during Open Evening to show it off to potential Wildern students. This show is dedicated to Open Evening, so have a listen HERE! Food Technology was the most popular department by far (could it have been all that free pizza?!!).




The show features our usual slots Movie Talks, Cameron's Game Report, Nathan's Sport Report and brand new to this year... Big Facts! This week we have 'Broadribb's Big Facts of the World'. Did you know China uses 45 billion chopsticks a year?!




Calling all teachers: Do you have an interesting fact that you could share with us?! Let us know! Tweet @WildernRadio



Open Evening 2014

Hey guys,

Sam A here, it is 18:48 on Wednesday 24th September and I am here with Sam F and James G.

Right now we have a few people coming in to interview. The Year 6's start nervously but then start to respond to the conversations! We have been playing music and now we are waiting for some teachers to come and be interviewed!




James is now interviewing Adam (his brother). He is asking him a few questions about the night such as: 'What has been your favourite subject of the night?' and 'How do you like Wildern Radio?' We have discovered that Adam's favourite subject so far is Maths and he thinks Wildern Radio is 'nice'!

We have been going on an interview loop starting with me, then James then Sam F.

I have just interviewed a girl called Katie and she was very shy but did very well! The evening is in full swing and it's one interview after the next!

Sam F is now about to interview Callum - we have found out Callum's favourite bit of the evening was the basketball and he likes P.E. He has a brother that has recently left the school. He likes the equipment here at Wildern.

Now I have interviewed my sister and her two friends! We discovered that the Food Tech pizza was a common interest between them and they are very much looking forward to coming to Wildern now! 

19:18 and we are still awaiting teachers! We have had many interests in our equipment now!

James is now going to interview a girl named Freya. She seemed particularly keen at first. James is also extremely keen to test out his new script! We have found out that Freya thinks our school is 'amazing' and particularly likes the Berry Theatre and the ICT department. She also thinks everyone is really nice and cheerful!

Lawrence was just interviewed by me - we found out he especially likes Drama and thinks the school is 'very big but not too hard to get around in'.

I have just interviewed Hannah who likes Performing Arts, which is good as Wildern is a Performing Arts school! She has looked at coming to either Wildern or Wyvern but said this evening has persuaded her to the side of Wildern! Yaaay! She had a good radio voice - another member perhaps?? We asked her and she seemed keen - so let's hope so!!

Okay - so it is 19:53 and still no teachers - looks like we may just have students this time! But it is still good as we have had very positive feedback to Wildern and Wildern Radio - and we may have recruited some new members for next year!

Kaelan is about to be interviewed by James. James has discovered his mum taught him! He still cannot say his name after asking him questions and finding out he wants to come to Wildern really badly after what he saw today.

PJ was half interviewed by me however the bell soon cut us short and we had to pack up! Sorry PJ!

Okay guys - it is 20:00 and it has been a good night and we have had a lot of interviews! We're all a little croaky but we cannot wait to hear it all back and throw in some music...

This has been Sam blogging for Wildern Radio for tonight's Open Evening 2014 - look out for our new broadcasts!

Westfields Junior School Trip

Two weeks ago some members of the Wildern Radio team took a trip to Westfields Junior School to collect some ideas for our own shows! 

Westfields broadcast two live radio shows per day, at break and lunch, and the content of the shows is completely run by the children. 

When we arrived at the school we were hit with loads of ideas from the shows such as:

  • Advertisements for any teacher vacancies
  • Naming different shows
  • A link to all 'Podcasts' on our blog (a history of shows if you like)
  • Broadcasting news from different parts of the world (and making use of the world maps!!) - could a relative Tweet in and tell us where they've been?!
  • App of the Week
First, we were given a tour of the school and their amazing facilities, in particular 'The Hive'. The Hive is an amazing space were students can let their creativity flow! The room had walls which you can write on, chairs and tables which can be wheeled around the room, a built in green screen, games consoles and a tonne of different technology! 










Our first task was to produce a five minute broadcast which would be interesting and would attract a specific audience. Any longer than five minutes and the listeners would switch off. We got into groups of 4 and 5 and came up with ideas to pitch to the group.



Our final broadcasts were called "The Big Question" and "Problem Resolved". We then headed back to the Hive to come up with our scripts for the broadcasts.







Next up... Lunch! We were extremely lucky and got given a huge spread! George ate far too many cookies...



After lunch it was time to record our broadcasts in the school's recording studio with Chris the Technician in charge.




To end the day, we had a Q&A session with Chris. Here were some of them:
How often do you broadcast? Every two weeks
How do you get around copyright issues when playing music? We buy the NOW CDs! They have copyright info on - so buy these to be safe!
How did you get into your job? I worked my way up as I just had a passion for IT
How can the radio show help learning across the curriculum? (Miss Rymill didn't add that one, honest!) From writing scripts for the shows to improve literature, to finding out about different parts of the world to improve your geographical knowledge, the show is constantly working towards improving a cross-curricular approach to learning
Do you have any top tips for running a radio station? Here they are:


We have definitely taken a lot away from our trip to Westfields Junior School and the students there are eager to come and see what we have to offer at Wildern too - so we will be planning for them to visit at some point this year! Watch this space!!

First Show of the Year!

But first, there are prizes to be won.... Take part in our General Knowledge competition here
