It has been wonderful to be back at school and today we started our new PE unit: Tennis!
Our lesson today focused on:
- The ready position
- Forehand
- Sending and receiving
- A rally
After familiarising ourselves with the rackets we practised individual ‘tap ups’ and then ‘tap ups’ with a partner. Once we felt confident we had a go at ‘feeding and returning’ and then ended with a rally!
It was great fun to be back on the roof getting active with our friends!
Our Key person for this topic is Li Na. She is a retired tennis player who was once ranked No.2 in the world! Over the course of her career, she won nine World Tennis Association singles titles, including two Grand slam singles titles at the 2011 French Open and 2014 Australian Open! She was the first ever Grand Slam singles champion from Asia!
