On Tuesday 15 December 2009 High Halden Primary School hosted its first Intra House Speed Stacking Competition. This was organised by the year 5 and 6 young leaders and supported by Mrs Dyer and the Homewood SSCo, Mr Foot. The competition would involve all pupils from the school competing against each other for their individual Houses; Drake, Cook & Nelson to determine which House was the fastest. All pupils in each house would post times in their respective events and then the total time would be divided by the number of pupils in each house to gain an average time for that team (with the lowest time becoming the winning House)

Over the past month pupils have been building up to the afternoon’s competition by having lunch time training session with the schools Young Sports Leaders (Year 5 & 6 Pupils). They received training in the three different stacks that they would be taking part in with the competition being split into three sections;

Year 1 and 2 pupils had to compete the 3 3 3 Stack (each child had 2 attempts to record their fastest time)
Year 3 and 4 pupils had to complete the 3 3 3 Stack and the 3 6 3 Stack (each child had 2 attempts to record their fastest time)
Year 5 and 6 pupils had to compete the 3 3 3 Stack, the 3 6 3 Stack and the Cycle Stack.
