The
previous Guinness world record for the Most
People Hula Hooping
had stood at 342.
Participants were split into their classes
and moderated by their teachers as they attempted to keep
their hula hoop spinning for two minutes whilst continuously
dancing.
Acting as independent witnesses on the day were
celebrity chef Mat Follas and defeated Lib-dem parliamentary
candidate Sue Farrant who was at the event with a Channel
Four film crew.
In a trial run the previous week the school had
fallen short of their target but the pupils pulled through
when it mattered.
Organiser Gilly Poulten said: “Seeing the
children’s faces, I have to say, it was all worth it. It was
a lovely thing to do and to see the whole school out there
taking part was excellent.
“To get a world record is quite unique and for
the whole school to be part of that makes it that extra bit
special.
“I said never again after the event but maybe
if the students can come up with a suitable idea we will take
a look at it but I don’t think there are many about which
can involve everyone like that.”
