Olympic Torchbearer Visits

We had a special visit from Olympic Torchbearer - Wendy Pittendrigh on Tuesday 10th July. Wendy ran with the torch on the first day of the torch procession in Penzance, Cornwall. Some classes have been collecting donations for the photos taken with Wendy and the Olympic Torch. Apologies for telling some of you that the charity Wendy raises money for is Breast Cancer Care when it is actually Cancer Research UK/Race for Life. The link for Wendy's JustGiving page where donations can be made is https://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/wendypittendrigh You can read all about why Wendy was nominated to carry the torch by clicking this link: http://www.london2012.com/torch-relay/torchbearers/torchbearers=wendy-pittendrigh-7622/.

Many thanks for supporting our Olympics Colours Day! Despite a bit of drizzle, we made a great film of all the classes making the Olympic Rings. To watch this video, click the blog title on the school website and press the play button.

Wearing Yellow (or White) on Friday 6th July

The children have been asked to dress in the colours of one of the Olympic rings on Friday (6th). This is so that the whole school can be involved in a the making of a "stop-to-go" film;- where the rings are made out of colourful children. (Speeded up film etc)
The children in Year 3 have been selected to represent the yellow ring, and are therefore required to dress in yellow. I appreciate that this is probably for most of them the most difficult colour to be allocated. Apart from my flourescent yellow cycling jacket, I personally possess no other yellow clothing. If you find that your child is in the same boat, please can they wear white. I think that an overall combination of white and fluorescent yellow cycling jackets will basically look yellow!
Many thanks
