SELSTED PUPILS SET TO SMASH TWO WORLD RECORDS

Twenty-eight children from Selsted Church of England Primary School will be taking part in an attempt to smash two Guinness World Records o­n Saturday and Sunday 17/18 June.

The pupils are hosting the local sleepover as part of the national BT Giant Sleepover.  This will be o­ne of hundreds of simultaneous charity sleepovers around the UK raising money for Childline and, locally for Selsted Primary School.

On the Sunday morning after the sleepover, the local youngsters will also take part in the Aquafresh Minty Mouth Challenge - an attempt to break the Biggest Simultaneous Teeth Brushing Guinness World Record - with a 2-minute teeth brushing session across the UK.

The children from Selsted Primary School have got plenty of excitement planned for the evening including fun-packed games with prizes donated by Debenhams in Folkestone, treasure hunts and entertainment.  Chris Simons, Franchisee of McDonalds in Folkestone, is providing breakfasts for all the children taking part.

Sarah Redmond Secretary of the Friends of Selsted School who are organising the event said: "It's going to be a great fun event which also means that the children can raise money for a very worthwhile cause.  We are delighted to be involved".

More than 40,000 children aged 6-11 years are expected to take part in the BT Giant Sleepover.
