and on NPD itself (Thusday 3rd October) if you’d like to be part of a Guinness world record attempt, the absolutely awesome poet Laura Mucha is attempting to co-write a poem about ‘what counts’ with 60,000+ Y3-Y7 students and break a Guinness World Records title for largest poetry lesson (multi venue) and display the poem all over the country.
