On the 4th of August 2011 us students from Room 22 had a game session after our Friday assembly.
Once we headed out to badminton was we had to sit down and hear the coach introducing herself and some things we knew about her was her name was Laureen and plays in the Auckland badminton club. once she was finished being introduced to us we were all ready to play our first activity and that was: control the shuttle.
What we done to control the shuttle was to focus on the shuttle by hitting it softly with the racket and for the shuttle to not land on the floor.
The second activity we had done was to hit the shuffle into the bucket. It was kind of difficult to hit it in but it was worth a try. On that same activity Laureen told us that it was a competition between the half of the circle we made. The competition that was done for us was we had to see how much people on the half of the side or our side to hit as many shuffles into the bucket so we counted by shouting/yelling out how many they got in.
The next activity was we had to grab a partner,a cone, a shuffle and a racket. My partner had to grab the cone and the shuffle and well i had to grab the racket. What our partner had to do with the shuffle and cone was he/she had to throw the shuffle and aim for the person holding the racket for it to hit it and for the partner holding the cone to catch the shuffle into the cone.
And finally the last activity for our Friday morning. In our partners we needed two rackets for my partner and me and one shuttle. This last activity we had done was slightly like our other last session but without a cone. The simplest thing we had to do was I had to throw the shuttle to the other partner and my partner had to hit it under her legs.
It was really good to know about some sport i haven't even done.
Thank you Laureen.
