Tennis coaching
Ian, a tennis coach, has come into school and has provided us with 6 weeks of highly skilled coaching. We have done a range of basic skills which have taught us how to control a ball with more confidence.
The Ian showed us how to use the ball with our racket to get used to holding it correctly.
We have learnt the 'ready stance' so our opponent knows we are ready to play.
Ian then taught us the principles for forehand and backhand which meant we were ready for more tricks as we had better racket control. He demonstrated the hard one, but the children proved how good they have become matching his skill! 
We now can use a tennis racket and ball and bounce it off different parts of our bodies and what's even more impressive is that some of us can rally and volley. Callum Middleton even managed to match Mrs Dixon and Ian's score of 31!!! 
It has been great fun learning from an expert and we hope to improve our skills each year.
