The last two weeks we have been doing tennis with a coach. In tennis the first strike we learnt was the four hand. The next strike we learnt was the volley. Then we went into a competition. The class had to hit a tennis ball and Mr Kelly and Miss H had to catch it and if they didn't catch it we would not have a point and if they did cach it we would get a point and we had Mr kelly as our catcher and he catched it 20 times. It was so cool and fun. The next week we went out for tennis again and then we learnt the volley after the volley practice. Our coach said that the volley was the last tennis practice. It was so much fun doing everything. On the first day of tennis our class was so nervous that they almost did not want to do it. But after that they could not wait for the next tennis practice.

In week 8 and week 9 we went to the Junior and Middle court to play some tennis with Coach Hans. We learnt some new things like four hands and volley. Four hands is where you hold the tennis racket with one hand and four fingers on one side and your thumb on the other side. Volley is where you hold the tennis racket with one hand and instead of swinging the racket you hold it up with the hand you write with. And when the ball is coming at you, you step with the opposite foot. We would get into two groups and we would sometimes have a little bit of a competition between the groups. It was really fun to do tennis and learn new tricks. Written by Erin
