Speed Stacking - Fairlop's latest craze!

Today in school, Fairlop is holding it's first ever speed-stacking competition.  All classes from Years 3-6 will participate.  Each class has put together a team of the 6 fastest children to compete against the other classes in their year group. 

The competition will be watched by the whole year group, and trophies, medals and certificates will be awarded.  We hope for this event to take place every term, with KS1 students joining in the next one.

Speed stacking helps to develop co-ordination, dexterity and memory skills.  It has been proven to increase brain function and children's work has improved dramatically in schools where speed stacking takes place.  It encourages the use of both hands, thereby stimulating both sides of the brain.

Speed stacks will be available for a reduced price of £10.00 in the school office very soon.

Take a look at some of the contenders for today's event!  More impressive video displays will follow ....
