A SCHOOL in Chester has signed up to take part in a charity world record-breaking attempt for the most people signing and singing simultaneously.
Pupils of St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School on Kipling Road in Blacon will participate in the event, which has been organised by the charity SignHealth, on February 6.
Steve Powell, chief executive at SignHealth, which is the national healthcare charity for deaf people, said: “Our Guinness World Records sign2sing project is an attempt to break the world record for the most people singing and signing a song at the same time.
“More than 800 schools have signed up so far and we’re delighted St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School is involved in the event too.”
Earlier this year 114,277 children took part in SignHealth’s sign2sing 2012 event and smashed the world record. The previous record was 94,489.
On Wednesday, February 6, young people from all over the country and overseas will sign a song, entitled Sign2sing, which has been composed especially for the event.
Sign2sing is primarily aimed at four to 11-year-olds, however other younger and older children and adults can join in if they wish.
