Raisin Record By Gaby
On the amazing Tuesday at 11:00am all the classes and units in Finlayson Park School came together to beat a WORLD RECORD for whistling out of a Raisin Box under the Main Court. First Mrs Maihi welcomed everyone, then we sang Manurewa E to welcome the guests. Then Mrs Maihi introduced the Kids Can Girl named Sophie, she was talking about what she does for her company. After her wonderful speech Mrs Maihi told the Sunmaid Raisin helpers to hand out a box to each class so we could get started with our whistling. During their speech they called up Matua Haare to the front to teach us some tricks for how to blow the raisin box.
We blew from it at the same time to break the WORLD RECORD but when Matua Haare yelled "STOP" nobody listed so Mrs Maihi came out with her big GROWLY voice and growled "STOP" and everyone quickly stopped and put their Raisin Box on the ground. How often when we all tried it, it sounded like a mouse getting stomped on from a Elephant, so Mrs Maihi called up Sophie to tell us if we broke it but she said "I give you guys a 7 out of 10 because everyone is involved and i didn't here anyone'' she said. So then we all got involved and Sophie said "You know what that is a 10 out of 10". So we beat Great Britain in THE WORLD RECORD!!

WOW! This is a really cool world record to break. Did you get to eat the raisins or were they just empty boxes? When I was in Primary School we broke the world record for the longest stuffed toy snake, but sadly that record was broken in 2013 in Australia.
