Ricky Van Halen wins Battle Royale!
Our first ever Battle Royale Face-Off is over. The champion has been declared! Congratulations Ricky Van Halen aka Riley P7.
All of P4, 5, 6 & 7 were enthralled with our rock slam face-offs in the hall this morning. Our top sixteen were amazing! the tension in the hall was high and the nerves were serious as the morning progressed. After the first eight slams, we were left with our quarter finalists - Rickie Van Halen, Frederick Rockbottom, Buzzy Sixx, Shifty Bacon, Sara Spark, Eddie Hey-There and Scooter Burger. Some close contests left us with even tighter semi-finals and then Sara Spark (AKA Anna P7) and Ricky Van Halen in the final. Ricky had set records the whole way through with an answer time of 0.95 seconds per table! In spite of a technical glitch and Anna putting in a great performance in the final, he still did enough to win.
This was our first every Battle Royale and the children have insisted that it is definitely not our last. In spite of the nerves and the tension the children were absolutely brilliant and the contests keenly fought out. The audience was completely enthralled throughout and staff had to watch really closely as everyone was holding their breath!
Well done Riley!
