“Awesome engagement from my class to write and complete world records. There was so much learning involved with writing specific instructions for the definitions and in writing a Repeatable, Verifiable, Measurable Standardisable and Breakable record. It was also so much fun! Watching a student dog paddling the length of the pool barking like a dog in 26 secs was something I will never forget!”
