GRADE 2-3 AND 3-4 GLENORCHY TENNIS CLUB PE EXCURSION
On Thursday 15th September our Grade 2/3 and 3/4 students jumped on the bus and headed to the Glenorchy Tennis Club in Berridale to play some awesome tennis!
Our students were able to apply their tennis skills and scoring knowledge to singles and doubles matches at a local tennis club. We practised trapping the ball and then advancing to returning the ball after a bounce without trapping. At the end of our session, each student received a certificate of participation from Tennis Tasmania!
As I write this article, I have a heavy heart as I read that tennis legend, Roger Federer is retiring later this year. But I know the tennis future is bright after seeing our kid’s skills in action on our excursion!
Here are some comments from our tennis super stars:
- Toby - we got to do rallies and trap serving.
- Archie - I found trapping the ball difficult because I am used to hitting it!
- Henry - I enjoyed the trapping!
- Amelia - I have two favourite things; my Dad came and the trapping of the ball
- Chelsea - I enjoyed being on Sonny H’s team.
We would like to say a big thank you to Jordan and Matt from Tennis Tasmania for setting up courts, organising our bookings and coaching us! Thank you to Mrs Maw for assisting us on our excursion and to our parent helpers, Mrs Laura Duncombe and Mr Trent Saunders, Mr Andy McLean!
