As part of our theme week, Year 4 pupils set out to research World Records for some of the upcoming Olympic events. It was amazing to think that some of these records are nearly thirty years old! We discovered who still hold these records and where they are from. We wanted to see what these records really looked like, so we measured out the heights and distances. It was incredible to see how high or how far people had jumped, or how far people could throw! It seemed impossible! One pupil even claimed “he must have flown!” when looking at the Long Jump world record.
Of course, we wanted to set some records of our own! Check out our video blog to see how we got on!
