IF YOU felt the earth move on Friday morning, it was probably caused by thousands of school children throughout the country jumping up and down for one minute. At 11am precisely, nearly 400 pupils from Littlehampton Community School took part in the Giant Jump marking the beginning of British Science Year. They were attempting not only to cause a minor earth tremor, but also to break a world record. School head of science Wendy Sibley said: This is very exciting indeed. This has been the first experience of science for a lot of new pupils here at school. Syncronised by a clock on British Science Year s website, thousands of children throughout the country were hoping to smash the current world record for the largest number of people leaping simultaneously.
