Eli visits Puddletown to see replica Olympic torch passed between schools

8:00am Saturday 31st December 2011 in Eli Echo stories

I WAS delighted to be invited along to Puddletown where youngsters were getting together to pass on a replica Olympic torch on to St Mary’s Middle School.

Pupils from Puddle-town First School linked arms to pass the torch through the village to pupils at St Mary’s Middle School.

The Dorchester Area Schools Partnership (DASP) has organised a torch relay that will see the replica torch pass through twenty schools. I can’t wait until the real Olympic flame passes through next summer!

Joke time

A maths exam paper.

Why did the Jelly Baby go to school?

Because he wanted to be a Smartie.

What’s the best way to speak to a monster?

From a long way away.

What has a purple spotted body, ten hairy legs and big eyes on stalks ?

I don’t know either but there is one crawling up your leg!
