St Mary's Dance Team Busy on the Dance Floor!

Last week was a busy and exciting one for the St Mary's Dance Team.

The dancers travelled to Oxford to take part in the Great Big Dance Off for Schools, competing against talented teams from across the country. Facing tough competition from 30 schools that had all won their regional rounds, the team performed brilliantly and finished in an impressive 15th place. While in Oxford, the dancers also enjoyed some time walking around the city and had lunch beside the beautiful Christ Church.

A huge thank you to Miss Penlington from OLSC for creating the routine and dedicating so much time to rehearsing with the team and to Stowlawn for allowing us to travel on the coach with them.

The excitement continued as the team also took part in the St Chad's Fusion Dance Show, where they enjoyed watching the fantastic performances from St Chad's and proudly showcased their own routine.

Well done to all of our dancers for their hard work, dedication and excellent performances throughout the week. We are incredibly proud of you all! 🎉💃🕺

At Wroxeter (the Roman City) Year 3 were able to make practical links to their previous History unit (the Romans) and discover more about how the Roman conquest of Britain had a direct impact on our local area. The pupils learnt about how the Romans constructed the city of Viriconium (Wroxeter), which was the fourth largest in Roman Britain, in an attempt to entice the local Cornovii tribe to come down from their hillfort on the Wrekin and join in the Roman way of life, peacefully. Historians believe that the original inhabitants of the area of Wolverhampton (Wolverhampton did not exist until 985AD) were members of the Cornovii tribe, who came down from the Wrekin. At Wroxeter the pupils were able to see the ruins of the once great city and were taken on a costume-led tour to learn more about life at Wroxeter as a Roman. They also saw the remains of a Roman mosaic, which indicates that a very important Roman lived in Wroxeter during the period of Roman Britain.

Today we paid tribute and attended the funeral of Bernadette Kent who was a former Foundation Governor for many years at St Mary’s. As well as being a governor, over the years, she came in to school to pray the Rosary with many pupils. Her claim to fame though must be her Irish coffees at the Parish Christmas fayre. RIP Bernadette. 🙏
