Badminton

Badminton is a very simple sport but it has a lot of instructions you have to learn before you play.

In Badminton you have 2 ways to hold the racket. They are called the forehand grip and the backhand grip. Badminton is just like tennis but tennis has a bigger ball than Badminton and a different racket. Badminton was one of the events in the 2012 London Olympics, it was founded in the Olympics in 1992. Badminton has been an Olympic sport with 3 events men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and also mixed doubles.

Badminton was made up in Europe and Asia a long time ago and they used paddles or bats for a racquet. The Shuttle for beginners are made out of plastic and for professionals the shuttle is made out of goose feathers if the shuttle hits you it won’t hurt because it is only a soft item.

Badminton is a very good sport because it is good exercise especially if it is a single match. it is very good for you because you can run around the court. You can hit the shuttle however you like. You can hit it low, high, fast, slow, soft or rough it.

I like Badminton because it is good exercise and it is a simple sport for you to learn.

Netball Tournament

Very proud of some members of our class who represented our school at the Tamaki Cluster Netball Tournament.  They did so well and played their little hearts out.  Prehaps some future Silver Ferns here :-)

Our Identities

This week we have been looking at our Identity during our topic study which is 'Embracing Others' - Social Justice.  We need to embrace ourselves before we can embrace others.  We used Google Draw to create a presentation of our Identity and used our webcams on our Netbooks to take a picture of ourselves to insert in our Google Draws.  Here are a few examples of the students work.
