Badminton

In class 5 we did Badminton in the hall. It is like tennis but the racket is longer and the ball is actually a thing could a shuttle. Shuttles a not like tennis balls because they don’t roll. How to play the game is that you have to hit the shuttle and don’t let it fall on the ground. But first we did some warm ups to practise for a game and they taught us to use the forehand and the backhand.

We even played stuck in the mud for one of the warm up games. So then we were given rackets and we had to hold with a forehand grip and backhand grip. Our class was practising hitting the shuttle. The person Rob told us a to use forehand and backhand to hit the shuttle as well. We all practices for a little bit of time until we were called back again.

Rob then showed us that we have to find a partner and practice hitting the shuttle to each other. After that we then had a game. If who ever misses the ball the partners have to sit down. But quite a lot of us had to sit down quick but then there were winners and the best was a year seven called Taniela and a year eight called Jabez. They were the best because they called go for long but I thought they weren't going to be the best for the next round that we had.

I was wrong because they came first again. It was a short game but then we had to go because I think there was going to be another class going. It was fun doing badminton but I bit hard because its not like tennis. I wonder what will happen when we go to it next Thursday and what will we learn.
