The DASP Olympic Torch

Winterbourne Valley First

As part of its Olympic celebrations, DASP schools will be carrying an Olympic Flame from school to school. Each school will be looking at exciting ways to transport the torch. Olympic rings

On Monday 9th January 2012, Dorchester Learning Centre gave a fantastic opportunity to Year 4 pupils from Winterbourne Valley for their Torch handover. They handed over the Torch on the quayside at the Portland Sailing Academy, before taking them out for a trip around Weymouth bay in the Centre's boat. In the summer, the Academy will be well and truly involved in the actual Olympics. So this was a fabulous chance for these children to see the area at first hand.
