West Lynn Primary School pupils given chance to try Speed Stacking

Youngsters at a West Norfolk school tested their speed and agility when they took part in a speed stacking challenge.

The mixed group of children from years one and six at West Lynn Primary school honed their skills at the event, which was organised by Alive Lynnsport and took place at the sports centre in Lynn.

West Lynn PE teacher Becky Turvey, accompanied the 16 pupils, along with Year 1 Teaching Assistant Katie Howells.

“Speed stacking involved the children stacking cups in a set formation and then stacking them back into a single pile again as fast as they could,” she said.

“The children had a taster session prior to the event to get a feel for what it was about, the challenge was also an opportunity for them to take part in a non-competitive environment and learn new skills.”

“The event was part of the Omnes Games package provided by Lynnsport, that West Lynn has signed up for.

“Providing more opportunities for our children to take part in sporting activities that they may not have experienced before,” she added.

It was the second year running that the school, a member of the West Norfolk academies trust, had taken part.
