2 WORLD RECORD HOLDERS Forty six pupils from Y5 and Y6 were part of the group who successfully took part in a ’Chance to Shine’ Guinness Book of Records world record for the longest cricket lesson ever delivered. Pupils and staff set off at 4 am to be at Lord’s Cricket ground in London for 9.30 am. At the world famous ground, England Cricket Captain, Charlotte Edwards, delivered the lesson in the successful attempt to try and beat the previous record holders, Australia. A picnic lunch was eaten on the ground and the pupils arrived back in Halifax shattered, but proud record breakers (see back page for more photos). Many thanks to Mr Brooksby, Mr Gallagher, Mr Crossley, Mrs Blackburn, Mrs Clark and Miss Jamieson for giving of their time for this long day and for the ‘ChancetoShine’ charity for paying for the coach. A Message from Mrs Booth: Chair of Governors “I want to congratulate you all for the fantastic effort everyone put in to the Chance to Shine World Record attempt on Monday. From getting up in the very early hours of the morning, travelling over 400 miles, spending a full day bowling, batting, catching and supervising, under a very hot summer sun, and all of this with the most enormous smiles. You are a credit to Ling Bob School, and I am incredibly proud of what you have each achieved personally and for our whole school community. Well done! Good luck to all the year 6 pupils going up to their new high schools, and those staff who are moving on too, have a fantastic summer.”

LING BOB WORLD RECORD #2 Congratulations to former Ling Bob School pupil, Hannah Cockroft who set a new World Record for T34 100 m at the World Para Athletics Championships in a time of 17.8 seconds

‘The J-Stig’ and Clark on OnTrak Racing All Key Stage 2 pupils who had made all their Targets this year were treated to Go Karting at OnTrak Go Karting in Bradford. 16 pupils went on the trip and were accompanied by Mr Gallagher (AKA “The J-Stig”), Mrs Clark(son), Mr “The Snail”-Simpson and cameraman Mr Tipton. Pupils were given a helmet and special overalls to wear and then learnt how to drive the carts safely before putting their skills to the test around the track for two solo rides of 15 minutes against each other. The “J-Stig” was in his element and came away thinking that he had won, although this is disputed by Mrs Clark(son)! Congratulations who all took part and to OnTrak Karting, Bradford.
