On the 14/10/15 we headed off to the court to take part in some unbelievably fun activities based on tennis.

Here are some photos of our amazing adventure!

Here is us playing a game named "Hamburger." Here is how you play: The first person is going to walk around a cone with a tennis ball on the wiring of a racket then he/she comes back to the start so the second person puts their racket on the first persons racket and so on until all the people in your group have gone.

We had a lot of fun learning these Tennis skills and we cannot wait until next week!
