Badminton

Nicole Johnson —

Wow! What a fantastic four sessions we just had for Badminton.

Tarryn came in to teach us some essential skills for playing badminton. 

The first thing we had to learn was how to control a balloon with our hands. We needed to use both our palms and knuckles and flip our hands like a pancake while keeping the balloon up.

Then we got given racquets. We were so excited but it was quite hard to hold correctly. Hitting a balloon up with the racket was great fun with lots of noise.  After we got the hang of this we were given a shuttle and we found this a lot trickier to keep up in the air and the room went silent.

We were so sad to have to say goodbye to Tarryn. We cannot wait to have a go at Badminton again.
