Tennis Festival

On Tuesday 3^rd May, our class (Skylarks) were going to go to King’s school and get better at tennis.

We left at 12:30 after we had our lunch. Before I knew it, we had left school and started walking to King’s. We got there at 1 o’clock and went to our first activity. But before that, we split into groups. My group was Alex, Charlie, Joseph, Dylan CW, Kara and Bayleigh. The first activity was the ladders and my partner was Charlie. You had to run through the ladders with the racket and then they would throw you a ball for you to hit back, then you would switch.

My favourite activity was squash because we kept hitting it so hard we had to run and get it, and it was a bit competitive. The most energetic drill was the cone game. You were against someone, and the leader said things to distract you, and then when he said ‘Go!’ you had to grab the cone.

Later on, it was the end of the festival and we walked back. After that, I liked tennis more and I will play it more.
