Tennis Coaching

Tennis is a common sport played in Spring and Summer. We started learning how to play tennis at school and boy was I excited about that. I couldn't wait.

When we got to the courts I felt a little bit nervous and excited at the same time. What if I miss the ball when someone serves it to me? If I did, I would probably be the worst tennis player in history.

Our coach, I mean our professional coach Marcel taught us how to do a forehand. A forehand was really easy. We learned how to do that hit in badminton all ready. All of us were pro's at it.

After learning the forehand we played a rally called King or Queen. It was like a real game of tennis. If you won, you would stay on and challenge another opponent. At the end if you were still the Queen or King you wouldn't have to do the awful punishment, which was 20 star jumps.

Tennis was a game I needed to play more often, because I LOVED it. It really got me going. I can't wait to play tennis again.

Maths Strategy - Compensation

In our maths group our teacher Miss Garden did a poster just like this one, but with equal addition. It was to help us how to do it. I did the same but with Compensation, making it fair.

It is one of the maths strategies we know how to use.

Extreme Makeover Courtyard Edition

This week my class Room 17 get to redesign our own courtyard because, right now our courtyard doesn't really look like a normal place to play in. We get into pairs which makes it even better. I am in a team with Rita.

This is my team's forst design. We might modify it later as we get more information.

Me and Rita have chosen to add a Basketball hoop. We have chosen this because we want more kids to play in our courtyard. The second thing we have add was a garden. We like gardens because it looks beautiful and sometimes it smells nice. We think that planting flowers makes our courtyard more beautiful and might even bring more people to our courtyard.Picnic tables. We need picnic tables because on our deck we have prickles that sometimes go on your bum. We think that if we have picnic tables that no more prickles would came on our bum anymore.

I think we need a basketball hoop, Plant and Picnic table. This helps us to get more people to think that our courtyard is a cool place to play in. Basketball hoops is fun to play, Plants look pretty and picnic tables have no prickles

We were all like builders, we find out most of the prices off our ideas. Some of my ideas were found on trade me. Some off us even emailed the place to see if no one has bought it. One off the things me and my partner did was emailing Mr Jacobson. At the end I hope it goes out wonderful.
