Tennis with Pete

Today was our first day of practice for tennis, so we went down to the courts to have practice with coach Pete. He teaches us how to play tennis, his first instruction was to practice some drills. Then we had to stand near a racket and practice hitting the ball towards our  opponent, then when he says switch! we change to give the other person turn. After all that practice we start playing a game of tennis. It was coming towards the end of our session so once we finished we said good bye to coach Pet, and looking forward to seeing him next Tuesday.

Duffy Awards

On Monday we had two special Duffy role models. They came to talk to us about reading books. Once they introduced themselves they started talking about how they were interested in reading. One of the role models said his teacher told him that he should read books about sports because he loved playing it.   That's how he got involved in big events. Then at the end specific people were called up to receive their Duffy books from the two Duffy role models. After that we sang the Duffy song.

Skipping

When we are skipping we have to start off with a warm up. Once we've finished that, we get into our

skipping groups. When we practice our first display we practice it three times to get it right. After we have finished deciding what the next display is going to be we add all the items together to make a skipping display. Once we have learnt the routine we are ready for the finals.

When we've practice all the skipping moves we show our demonstration to the other groups, but when it's the finals the whole school will be watching, including the parents.

daily fitness

Today we are practicing for our athletics. For our fitness we are currently doing relays, we often do it every year. We had to get into our normal groups so that Mr Reid could give us a number. Later on we arrive to our cone. 

Once our groups were sorted one person from each group had to line up in a row so that, when the person arrives to their teammates they pass the baton on and keep running. 

When it came to the forth cone they had to sprint to the end so that their team can finish. It was time for group two to do the same. When they finished everyone headed back to class.

chicken curry with rice

Today we made chicken curry with rice. First we had to get out a pot and put the chicken inside with water and wait for it to cook. Then when we were finished cooking the chicken we had to get a frying pan and make the curry chicken sauce. We used Indian tomato sauce, tomato paste, herbs spices, black peeper and curry then we mixed it in the frying pan with a wooden spoon then we tasted it if it was sour then we had to just add in a little bit of brown sugar. After the water in the pot was drained out we had to place the chicken in the pan with the sauce already to be stirred while on the stove. We had to wait for 20 minutes till the the chicken was ready to serve onto a plat with the rice. Ready to be eaten.
