Table Tennis.

Table Tennis.

Today we had Table Tennis with our coach. Room 7 and I learnt some hand techniques on how we could hold the paddle and how to serve. It wasn't all really new to me because I already knew how to play Tennis. I usually play with my uncles with my older cousins, aunties etc. 

I learnt that when you're going to serve the ball, you always have to bounce that ball once on your table before hitting it to your opponent. So when you hit the ball , you don't have to twist your wrist as much, you can just keep your wrist locked and let it bounce off your paddle.

After we were taught a few lessons, we then got into groups and played around the world. Across the table, we had a Champion and the Challenger. The Challenger had to serve the ball and the Champion would hit it back, it'll go on and on until either the Champion or the challenger loses then it'll be the next person in the line.

At the end, We had the two champion girls and the two champion boys. The champion girls were Unita and Taijah, the champion boys were Ali-Jon and Wuatai. First we let the two champion girls have a game up to 5 points, and Taijah won that round. After they played, Ali-Jon and Wuatai had a game up to 5 points and Wuatai won. At the end, Wuatai and Taijah then get their prizes which were lollies. 

Room 7 and I had a very fun day today at Table Tennis. It was a great experience for a few in our classroom and so they can go home and teach other people how to play Table Tennis and play against them.
