Badminton

Today was the day that Group A had to go to Kiwisport Our Group didn’t have any idea what our kiwi sport session was about because it was the first day of the session. As we walked in the hall we saw a man sorting out the rackets and shuttles. We all sat on the ground in front of the man, when he was done he said what his name was and it was Kevin. Kevin told us where he worked and what we were doing in today’s session, it was badminton. We all listened to Kevin as he told us what to do. The rules were that we cannot swing the racket,We cannot play sword fights with the Racket,We cannot keep juggling if you are close to someone because you might hit them

First thing we had to do was grab a racket and a shuttle, He told us all to stand on the white line with our badminton and our shuttle. Kevin told us to put our hand that we write with on the bottom of the Racket. So we did that then we had to hold it as if we were about to shake someone's hand, But just turn it so the the bottom is facing the floor and the top is facing the roof. We all had a go at juggling the shuttle we all tried as hard as we could, I was really getting a hang of it . That skill was called four hand.

Then Kevin told us to try and juggle it ten times or more on the first go I failed a lot of times but i tried my hardest. Next we had to juggle it with the other hand. We had to practise juggling and once again I failed but I nearly got ten but always got stuck on 8 or 6. Everyone once again tried there hardest to get up to ten or more and a few people achieved and got ten or more some even got 15 or even more. I was surprised of the

Then the next challenge was to juggle the Shuttle up and turn the racket and bounce it up and turn it again and again. We had to do it ten times or more again and I achieved I got 11 I was so happy because I thought I wasn’t gonna make it but I guess I just needed to focus more on what I’m doing instead of what other people were doing. Other people got even more then me.

Kevin told us that we had to juggle it with our thumb on the top of the Racket hold thing and the rest of the fingers on the bottom. We also had to make it so that our thumb was facing to the ground and your other fingers facing the roof. So it was harder than I thought it would be. Kevin stopped us and told us to try and get ten or more again. So I tried this time and I only got 9 I was really close to getting ten or even more but sadly i didn’t I was disappointed but it was ok.

Kevin told us that this was gonna be harder for us and it was that we have to try and juggle the shuttle in the air then put the racket on the side of us and try juggle that. I was like I will never be able to do that. Suddenly I tried and got 2 and I was so Surprised about it because I thought I wouldn’t even get one but my thoughts were wrong.

Kevin said that this one was the hardest and he said that we have to try and juggle the shuttle in the air then try and hit it while being between our legs and repeat that I was so nervous that I would get none. Out of nowhere I finished with 2 in total. That last thing was for everyone to try and juggle the Shuttle as long as we could. The winner was Jayden. We tried again and it was a tie with Lukah and Matthew and those three went head to head to see who the winner was and the Winner was Matthew. I was super happy about our first day of badminton so we left with a big smile and a few sweaty boys.

Today for writing, yesterday we wrote another recount for 40 minutes. I learnt how to write a recount.What we had to do was write a recount on what we did at kiwi sport.Next we got timed 40 miniutes. Then after we wrote we had to mark our work with the rubrik.
