The whole school went to Tomintoul to do the Small School Olympics on the 11th of June and we had lots of fun. We were also joined by lots of other schools from the Moray area.

First, the whole school got on the bus and it took a long time to get there.

Next, we got to Tomintoul and we went in to the school, put our bags down and went into groups where we took part in differant activities. Each pupil took part in two activities: taekwon-do, kickboxing, football, rugby, archery and mountin biking.  We all received a medal for taking part.

Then, we had lunch in Tomintoul Square where we saw lots of buses and police motor bikes. They were there because the Olympic torch was about to arrive in Tomintoul. It was very exciting because there were lots of people there and lots of exciting things to see and hear, including a man that kept jumping on springs.

The main event was seeing the torch. The girl that carried the torch was called Ciara Ennis, she is 14 years old and she lives in Huntly. She carried the Olympic torch because she has has raised lots money for charity.

Finally, we had the sprints and the relay races back at Tomintoul Primary School. Inveravon came 3rd in the relay and then we had the medal ceremony.

We were all very tired from all the excitment of the day. Neil commented, “I thought it was amazing to see the torch live.”  Henry thought, “It was great that we got to take part in lots of different sports, but it was a bit of a shame that the torch ran past so fast as is was difficult to see.”
