Celebrating the achievements of our pupils outside of the classroom!
This week: Lara B. – Rhythmic Gymnastics
Who are you and what class are you in?
My name is Lara B. and I am in Year 3 Bees.
What is your hidden talent?
My talent is rhythmic gymnastics. Which is a mix of dance, sports, stretching and balancing. I like to use the hoop the most.
Why do you enjoy it so much?
I enjoy it because it helps me be flexible and bendy and learn new elements.
Why is it important to work hard towards your goal?
If you don’t work hard to a goal, it won’t happen and it won’t be perfect for a competition if you want to win.
Have you taken part in any competitions or ways to show your talent outside of school?
Yes, I took part in two international competitions, once in 4th and once in the International competition Mazovia Cup I came in 2nd place when I got a big trophy and a crown.
What would you say to someone who might want to try something similar?
They should give it a go and keep trying if you can’t do it at first. I had to keep trying and I couldn’t always do it but now I have kept going and I can do it!
How has this hidden talent helped you?
It has given me confidence and I have learnt about my health and body. It takes a lot of time but it is worth it.
‘If you would like the once in a lifetime opportunity to come to the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, then this is your chance! This year, we are asking students to submit a short video which asks you to complete this following statement: If I were an innovator at MIT, I would.. The videos should last between 90 seconds and 3 minutes’… – this is a message I found in the TBS newsletter in March 2024.
I would like to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the fantastic work of one of our exceptional teachers in the secondary school.
