World Record Attempt Completed!

This morning, 360 pupils and staff from Fairfield Prep School, Loughborough, gathered together to try and smash a world record for singing a single song in a relay.

Under the close scrutiny of independent observers the assembled pupils from Years 2 to 6, accompanied by staff, sang ‘I can sing a rainbow’. Everyone present had a specific word to sing, at the right point in the song; it only took one practice for the performance to be word perfect. Everyone embraced the colourful theme wholeheartedly with each Year group representing a colour of a rainbow.

The theme for today’s world record attempt ties in with fundraising the School has undertaken this year for local charity, Rainbows. Since September the School has raised over £3,000 and today the children generated £331.07 to add to the total.

This afternoon the whole school resplendent in their colourful tops congregated on the grass to sing the song for representatives from Rainbows who brought along their lovely mascot too.

Whilst the world record attempt still has to be verified by Guinness World Records, Fairfield Prep School is hopeful that with the filmed evidence and corroboration from the independent observers it will soon be confirmed as the new World Record holder.
