Anyone for tennis?

The search for a British champion could be coming to an end. Class 3 have been under the expert tuition of Richard from Boston Spa tennis club and he agrees we have some stars in the making.
Every week Richard puts us through our paces. We have learned the basic strokes and are now working on our rallying skills.

Working on our ready position and side-stepping.


The girls have all the right answers!

Showing off our big noses! Richard has taught us the correct way to grip the racquet, strike the ball and follow through. Phew! It's all a bit technical.



Our tennis superstars - soon to be appearing at a tournament near you! A big thank you to Richard who has made our tennis lessons a lot of fun.

Drumming workshop

On Thursday we went to Gateways to do a drumming workshop with the drummer from Status Quo, Jeff Rich. Jeff Rich showed us different types of drums and how to play them. He got children from the different schools to play the drums with him including some from Harewood. After that he did a brilliant solo to show us versatility of the drum kit. Then everybody was given an instrument and we all played together it was really loud and we all had a great time.
