Largest Gathering of Story book Characters

The prints of the book comes alive. This was what the student of Carls Glenn Primary School had in their mind. They have taken literacy to the next level by personifying and portraying the bookish characters to real life. About 300 pupils, staff and friends  were dressed as story book characters making the entire world  amazed  by their  revelation.

Derek Harkness the principal of the school   said that the  entire experience was fun filled and the kids were absolutely delighted. He hoped that their accomplishment gains entry in the next edition of the world records. There were many fairy tales characters being depicted from Ginger bread man, Hansel and Gratel, the two ugly sisters and many more. A wide range of kids story books  was represented during the event.

Harkness said that it was a tremendous achievement for the school and it was  possible only because of a great team effort from the entire school community.

 Parents and staff have been working tirelessly over the past few weeks to ensure that we were successful in our attempt. Along the way we hope that this attempt also promoted storytelling in a fun and imaginative way. 
    The event was part of our 70th anniversary celebrations and we are delighted to be 70 years old and World Record Breakers

The largest gathering of story book characters counted to 300 and was set by Carls Glenn primary School in Belfast, Northern Ireland on         November 25, 2009.
