These photos were taken by Room 4 students on our last day of Tennis. See our student blogs to find out how to play this cool tennis game.

Today was our last day of Tennis this term. We played doubles tennis, where there are two players on each side of the tennis court. If you win the first rally you get to stay in and challenge the champions. Then if you win two rallies in a row you become the champions. To become the champion you need to use your tennis skills such as holding the racket correctly and hitting the ball over the net. You also need to watch the ball and move towards it. I really enjoyed playing doubles tennis because our team work was great and we got to play lots of rallies.

Well done to everyone who participated in our Athletics day for 2019. There were many exciting events including a sausage sizzle and a 100 metre Sprints in the afternoon. What was your favourite event?

Here are some highlights from our 2019 Athletics Day. Well done to everyone who participated - Ka rawe! What was your favourite event?

Room 4 have been learning tennis skills this term. Our tennis instructor Pete has taught us how to hold our tennis racket and hit the ball over the net. We are also learning how to serve the ball over the net. When you serve you need to hit the ball across the court diagonally. Now that we know lots of the basic skills we will be able to have a rally. A rally is when you hit the ball over the net back and fourth with your partner.
