Table Tennis

We were really lucky to have Joan and Chris in school to help us improve our Table tennis. We were super excited when they brought in a Table tennis robot. This would fire a ball out and we would have to hit it back.

We learned how to add backspin to our shots as well as backhand and forehand shots.

We all had a go at hitting a ball on the robot’s fastest setting. This was firing a ball at us less than a second apart….it was so much fun

We even got to take part in a league. We played in singles and doubles matches.

Joan said that we had tried really hard and had made so much progress over the two weeks. We asked her if she could come back and she said that she would love to. She said that she was away at three  competitions,  but would come back after the October break to carry on with our training.

 

 

Sumdog Success

We had another Sumdog competition, unfortunately we missed the start date on Thursday and didn’t get started until Monday so we missed three full days of the competition.

However even though we were so late in starting we still manage to come second in Shetland and fourteenth in Scotland so a big well done to everyone in P2-P6 for their sterling effort.

Sumdog’s The Wee Sleep Out Contest is now over!

In total, 16562 students answered 2238336 questions correctly. Well done to them.
