Pupils in all classes had a very special visitor this week: the Olympic Torch. Jane Shingles from the Metropolitan Police brought the torch from New Scotland Yard where it was being kept as a backup. The torch had been used in Cornwall but, because rain kept dousing the flame, its outing was cut short and it is being kept for possible future use on the Olympic Torch relay. Did you know that the torch is made of lightweight aluminium that has 8000 perforations in it to represent the 8000 runners taking part in the relay? Thank you Mrs Shingles for allowing all pupils in the school to hold the torch and get even more excited about the 2012 Olympics; not long now!
