Tennis.

This term my class Room 14 has been learning how to play  tennis ! Learning how to play tennis is really fun. Our coach Josh is an amazing Tennis player. He has taught us a lot of tricks and skills. He showed us awesome tricks and where our hitting position is. Our hitting position is on your hips. So when you hit the ball you hit it just below your hips. 

At tennis we practise balancing the ball on the Sweet Spot. The sweet spot is the centre of the racket. In this photo Ben is trying to balance the ball on the sweet spot.

After we learned our hitting position, the sweet spot, and how to hold our racket we finally went outside and started using the nets. We had a great time practising. For our first session with the nets we had one person with the racket and one person with the ball. The person with the ball throws the ball to their partner and their partner lets it bounce on the ground and on to there ball, then she holds the ball with her racket and shouts out SANDWICH. Me and my partner didn't shout out SANDWICH we shouted out different types of healthy food and things like TOMATO, CEREAL, And CALCIUM. I wonder if May Road might have tennis for sports next year.

For tennis we had a professional tennis player called Josh. Josh is a really good tennis player. He has been playing tennis for at least 10 years, and he is  now 22 years old. Josh is even close with the famous Maria Tutaia. I wonder if I would grow and be as good as Josh.

While we practised Josh got some student's attention from showing them a cool as trick. He got the tennis ball and placed it on the racket, then he turned the racket around and the tennis back never fell off. Isn't that cool??? Tennis this term rocked the whole class... Tennis ROCKS !!
