Out of School Achievements

The children at St Mary's are busy both in and out of school. It is great to hear about and celebrate all the things that they get up to out of school.

Bella had an amazing opportunity over the summer holidays, where she danced on a cruise ship!

Over 60 Fox King Dance Academy took their passion to the high seas this holiday season, performing four incredible dance shows aboard the MSC Virtuosa while sailing through the stunning Norwegian fjords! 🇳🇴🚢✨

With an audience of over 6,500 guests, these young stars lit up the stage and brought energy, elegance, and excitement to the ship!

At just 6, Bella was the youngest dancer to perform all 4 dances on the ship.

Wow, well done Bella.

Well done to Miriam and Flo who competed at a trampoline competition. Miriam won her class and Flo came second in her class. Congratulations to both girls for their super achievements.

Ella made a beautiful dragon puppet at home - she had even put lights inside his head which light up making it look as though he is breathing fire! It is really beautifully crafted Ella. Thank you for bringing it to show me.

Ethan went to a ‘splash and dash’ competition at Sidcot School where he had to swim and then run and he won his class. Huge congratulations Ethan - what a remarkable achievement.

Edward went to a Judo competition at the weekend and won Gold in his category. He explained how you win points in a judo competition to me brilliantly. Congratulations Edward.

Huge congratulations to Ethan who is now part of the Somerset swimming squad. He has won medals for all sorts of strokes and he has the fabulous Somerset Squad swimming cap. Great stuff Ethan!

Well done to Daisy and Alfie who took part in the St Margret's Hospice Colour Run at the weekend. Brilliant job, both of you, and it looks a lot of fun!
