Challenge 27-Pole Energy’s World Book of Records
What we wanted to do was get into the Guinness Book of Records with some mad pole extravaganza. This was not as easy as anticipated- the rules, regulations and governing of the event were just all too much!
This did not mean giving up so it was decided that we would make a new book – and we did – The Pole Energy World Book of Records!!
Basically I decided to run an inter-class competition involving all students which allowed them to compete against each other to see who ruled supreme!
In total we had 11 categories and every student had to perform the challenges under strict supervision. Results were then recorded and stored securely in a Swiss bank vault until the week of competing was complete.
And so to the results……
well I could not have predicted them I have to say and I reckon some of the girls had a bit of a shocker aswell – Check out leanne’s foot and Lucy’s face!!!!!
