Speed Stacking Superstars

On Monday 1st December, a team of eager students from Milestone at Leigh Academy Dartford attended a Speed Stacking festival hosted by Saint John’s Catholic Voluntary Aided Comprehensive School in Gravesend. Active Sport Stacking focuses on stacking cups in different formations and sequences. Students were tasked with a range of challenges involving stacking cups, tackling the tasks with enthusiasm.  All students picked up the skills exceptionally quickly and worked as a team alongside a number of other local schools. By the end of the session students were speed stacking masters and completed every activity with a smile on their faces.

A huge well done to our students for their dedication and determination, we are very proud of you!
