House 24 Competition

The House ‘24’ competitions seemed to be more fast and furious than ever this year. The teams of four have to make a total of 24 from four numbers, which may seem simple, but when all numbers have to be used the answers are not always so easy to see.  (Try  5, 2, 5, 8)
Once the team have completed a sum, they race to have it checked before being given the next one, and so it continues for around one hour. Clearly, lots of stamina is essential!
Saxons just pipped Normans to first place in the Upper School competition but Tudors romped home to a very clear win in the Forms 5 and 6 competition. The houses in Forms 3 and 4 were close but Tudors, after a slow start, managed to finish in the lead. Overall Normans and Tudors tied for first place with 60 house points each, Saxons came in third with 50 points and Stuarts brought up the rear with 40 points. Well done to everyone who took part, it was great to see such determination from all.
