The Boat Race

Here is a picture of where Tim might have tried putting the straw to make his model boat move the fastest.

Whack the shuttle flew over the net. Last week our maths class went to badminton in the hall. We learnt about serving and hitting a shuttle.

First we did a warmup named stuck in the mud, to play this there are taggers who run around and tag you.  If you get tagged then you are stuck and have to wait until someone comes and frees you.

Some of the skills we learnt were back hand and fore hand.  To fo a forehand serve you have to hold the racket like you are shaking someones hand. To do a backhand serve you must make sure your hand is facing towards your body.

We got into pairs and then practiced hitting the shuttlecock to each other.  My partner was Shelford, our coach told us to have turns at putting the racket on the floor while your partner tried to aim the shuttle at the racket. If you hit it you got 1 point we played first to 5 points.

The thing I enjoyed the most was playing a game over the net. Me and Shelford won 5 games in a row against other teams.
