Badminton


These couple of weeks we were learning about Badminton with this lady called Loreen. She has been telling us how to hold a Badminton Racket in your hand even a shuttle. So when Loreen stopped talking she told us to walk to a space were you can’t get hit with a Badminton Racket.
She showed us how to hit the shuttle so she told us. You have to put your racket toward your belly button then you have to put your thumb at the back of the racket then you carefully push it toward the shuttle then it goes flying up in the sky.

Then Loreen said “SHUTTLE” and so we had to keep our racket still and our shuttle still too. Then she told us to get in a circle and she put the bin in the mettle and she said “you have to try and get the shuttle in the bin 5 times.” And then she told us to get 5 shuttle then you have to take 5 steps back and Mr Somerville was taking step and I just followed him but he said “you have to take your owen step because these are my step and I have long leg that is why I am so far away.”

After that she told us to that she will not be here on the last day because another person was coming to teach us about Badminton and she was a NZ Badminton player and in my mind I was thinking that is gonna be fun. Then we had to leave because another class was there so we said “THANK YOU SO SO MUCH LOREEN.”

Room16 OneNews


On Tuesday 23 August Room 16 went on One News and another class from Pt England School. We were so excited to be on One News because some people were on TV for the first time. It is so sad because other schools are poor and our school is rich because we have Netbooks. We also found out from the news the other schools can't buy Netbooks because their Mum's or Dad's can't pay for it because they can't afford it. Click on the link that is highlighted.
