How to play Tennis

 Tennis has been around since 1873 and was introduced by Major Walter Clapton.

Time.

Tennis can go for a long time. When the pro players play tennis it goes for hours. Sometimes it can go for 5 hours.

How many people you need

For tennis, you can play singles: that is when you play one person. But you can also play doubles: that's when you have a partner and you vs two people.

Equipment

-Tennis court

- Two tennis balls

-two tennis rackets

How to play

To start the game you need to serve. Serving is when you throw the ball up and hit it in the service line. Then the other player hits it back and the game starts.

Tips

There are different types of styles to hit the ball. You can do topspin and slice. Topspin is where you hit the ball and it spins forward and when you do a slice it spins backwards.

Score 

When you serve and get the point you say 15-love then when the other person gets the point you say 15 all. when you get another point you say 30-15. The scores go like 15 love, 30 love and 40 love. If you get the next point you win the game and there are 6 games in the hole game. If you get up to 40 all in singles its called juice and if it singles its long juice and if its doubles its short juice. If its doubles and you are in juice and you win the next point you win that game. If its doubles and it's singles and you win the point it is vantage to sever and if you get the next point you win the game. But if the other person gets the point snd you are serving you say vantage to reserve.

Today we are teaching people how to play different sport. Some people are doing league, rugby and soccer. Lots of sport but I am doing mine about Tennis the hardest was bit was writing it into my Chromebook because my back hurts when I lean forward.

Camp recont

 Camp

Day 1

For camp, we went to Bridge Valley. in the car was Kohen, Harrison, Dion, me and mat which is Harrison's dad. He is really nice he bought us food and drinks. It took 4 hours to get there. When we got there it was 11 and everyone was tired. We sat on the court with our bags. we got send to are cabins, and in our cabins was Harlem, Dion, Keil, Aaron, Gus and Keils dad. I was on the bottom bunk and Keil was above me.

One of my favourite activity was archery and I was the only one in my activity group to hit a bullseye. And another favourite activity of mine was abseiling at first it is scary but then you trust the rope and do it, But I couldn't keep my feet flat on the wall and I slipped and hit my knee. I didn't even know that there was a scratch on my knee until I finished abseiling.

We had tea in a huge hall there was lots of food but some nights there was some bad food and some good food. One time night we had nachos and that was yum but I didn't like eating my greens.

When we had to go to bed Gus was talking all night and Harlem and Gus snored all night and one night i only got like 5 hours of sleep

Day 2

One activity we had to walk on a rope to the other side. this activity had a lot of teamwork we had to balance our team on a big piece of wood and it was hard.

We had free time so I explored the place there was a huge playground and pond and to slides went into the pond. The whole place is huge all the activities are there, and I think that this was the best camp in the school.

Day 3

Today our activity group did kayaking I didn't have my togs on so I only went kayaking for a little bit. I was lucky because Slade tried to tip everyone's kayaks over

Next we did top team there were 4 little activities, the first or was that we had to walk on a barrel but there is two people next to you to help you. I fell 2 times we thought that it was the first team for everyone to do it, but it was how many times you do it in 2 minutes. The next activity was we had a tube with holes in it and 3 people had to run to the lake and get a bucket of water then go back and put it in the tube. our team won that round, nexted out team had a huge skee and we had to go like 4 metres, our team was not that good at it, everyone was like "LEFT-RIGHT" but some people were confused and we lost. And our last activity was where we had 3 planks of wood and we had to make a bridge past a trash can and back I was last to go so I had to take he last plank and pass it to the front. There was a rule that if you put our plank over there's they can't take it so I had to be careful. I was still on the plank and they took it so i think that we should have won because I think that they cheated.

Day 4

The last day we were supposed to do a thing called iron man it is where we had to do all the activities. I think that we are lucky because we didn't do it we just went home. we went home at 12 and in the time that we had, we played a game. I forgot what it was called it was something like fresh. Q thought us about the game the rules are hard. There are two teams and there is a line that the teams are behind, and when the first person goes over the line they are the freshes on the field, but when someone else goes on the field they are the fresher than the other person that is on the field, and when you get tagged you go to the other side on the cone and you put your foot on the cone and you can make a line to your side of the felid. That's the game that Q taught us and after that, we went home.

Scooters should be banned from Paroa school at lunch times.

I Believe scooters should be banned from Parao school at lunch times.

My most important reason is they are dangerous  you can hurt yourself you can fall off  and you can hurt others you can crash into others.   Dangerous sport because kids don't wear safety gear and dangerous tricks spinning over your head.

Another point is it takes over the school because there is less space and less space for others.

Finally when little kids are playing they can't move the handle good enough so they can crash and if their hand is sweaty for your hands you can easily fall off.  

These are the reasons why we should have scooting at school.
