Olympics Torch Visit:
On Wednesday 2nd June, students from year 3-6 participated in a visit showcasing a large number of Olympic Relay Torches. Robert and George shared a wealth of knowledge about the Olympics, the Olympic Spirit, the Olympic Torch Relays and their own experiences as Olympic Torch Bearers in previous Olympics. Students were also given the opportunity to hold the 13 Torches on display at the time. Thanks to both Robert and George for their generosity in sharing these amazing pieces with our students.
