Last week some children took part in a Badminton Festival at East Hoathly. The pupils took part in different badminton activities which tested their skills of aim, rallying and movement and then put these into practice in a range of mini doubles matches. The children were mixed up into 4 teams and each team competed to win points, each team showed great team work, communication and had lots of fun, despite the challenge of the wind! A big well done to all the children who took part!
Jack from East Hoathly has written his own Sports Report of the event.
Today there was a badminton tournament. When it started we just threw the shuttlecock back and forth to get the handle of it. Then Mr. Brett placed down some hoops for us to throw the shuttlecock into, if you got the closest hoop you got 1 point, middle hoop 2 points and furthest hoop 3 points. Mr. Brett made it so we all went onto one side to hit them into the hoops. Then we did 5 minutes of practice. Then we did one person from Chiddingly and one from East Hoathly and we did a match against each team. We did a lot of matches for a bit, then we moved onto doubles. It was a very peaceful and slightly competitive game: both teams worked very hard to win against each other but overall it was a friendly game. Then we added up all our points for the grand total.
