Badminton

Every term room fifteen has a sport to play. Can you guess what sport we were playing this term? It’s Badminton. Badminton is one of my favorite sports.
We had two coaches one of them was called Lorene, she was usually our coach. But last week we had Donna, she filled in for Lorene because she went to a tournament in Hamilton. When Lorene came back she had two silver medals.

In Badminton you use a racket and a shuttle almost like Tennis. Only that a shuttle has feathers and has a weighted rubber end. A Badminton racket has a long stem but some have short ones.

We also played different games like the rotating game, which is basically not too hard to play. There are four Badminton nets and they all have different labels on them. For example there is the backhand one, backhand means that you're thumb is at the back of the stem.

My Swimming movie

This is my swimming movie. You might not have read my post about swimming yet. This movie shows you me walking to the pools, swimming and the lessons we have there.

Swimming

In the last two weeks room fifteen went swimming in the YMCA pools. We always walk with room seventeen when go there, and my plastic bag was rusting all the way. We spread out all over the place and got out of our lines.

When I passed the doors of the pool I was greeted by the smell of chlorine. As I went to change into my togs, I said to myself “I wish the swimming lessons would never end.” As soon as I got out of the girls changing rooms I wanted to run and jump in the pool but I didn’t.

I was in a team called Professionals. The professionals go second to swim. Finally it was our turn to swim. I grabbed a flutter board and jumped in the water.

We did some backstrokes, freestyle and lots of laps in the pool. I had lots of fun, some times it’s hard. In our last day of swimming we got ten minuets of free time, I did some mermaid swimming. Mya wouldn't stop pulling my leg so I didn't get to the other side of the pool. It was still fine with me.

At the end of the day I always say to myself “I cant wait till tomorrow.” Swimming is the only sport I'm good at and I like the water so I love swimming.

Tower Challenge

Yesterday Room 14 and Room 15 split classes. Half of us went to Room 14, the other half stayed in Room 15. We both did different activities. I was in Room14 first.

We watched a movie about kids who made different inventions. Saadiya, Mya and I were a team. Then we named inventions and wrote what they were for. After this it was time for lunch.

While I was lined up I thought about what we were going to do in room15. I found out once I got in the classroom. We were going to build a tower out of newspaper. Mr Marks gave us some tips but he didn't give any to the other team, I think the other team were angry!

Then we went to make our towers. At first we were struggling and our tower kept falling down and Cheyanne was in panic mode. We tried to make it stand and make it tall but at the end our tower was small and it fell to the ground. So Cheyanne smashed it even before Mr Marks judged it. I was sure we weren't going to win.
