Terrific Tennis

Walt: hit the ball using different strokes 

Bounce, bounce bounce go the tennis balls along with the screech of room 5 students excited voices. Learning how to use different strokes such as volleying backhand and serving are just a few.

 Reflection: 

We learned to hit the ball with the front of the racket (forehand stroke) and used backhand strokes.

We enjoyed playing doubles. 

We found it challenging to practice our volleys which is when your buddy throws you the ball and you hit the ball back, don't let the ball hit the ground and you're close to the net.

We could improve by not hitting the ball down but up.  

Speed and coordination

Walt improve our speed and coordination

Today Ruma Rima had Matua Paulo and he taught our class to work on speed and coordination drills with hurdles, the ladder and running.

Reflection:

We learned to... improve our speed and coordination.

What we enjoyed was... jumping through the ladder.

What we found challenging was... sprinting

What we could do to improve... asking questions if we don't understand instructions.
