Batminton with Kevin

Today for Kiwisports we had our second lesson for Badminton with Kevin. At Badminton we learnt different skills. We first played a game called Octopus. Then we were practising how to juggle with the Shuttlecock and the Racket. The juggling was a bit hard because I couldn't hit the shuttlecock. After we had to hit the Shuttlecock using our forehand and backhand. This was difficult because the shuttle went everywhere and I got mixed up. The partner I was with was Jorja. One person had to use their index finger and their thumb to throw the shuttle to their partner who had to hit it back to them. Afterwards we got into partners to have a rally.

How Children Learn at School - Explanation writing

How Children Learn at School

Do you remember when you were a child and copying your friends or teacher by observing, you asked questions because you are curious, and took risks in school to learn? Learning is having courage to ask questions, so that you are able to make connections with your what you are talking about. Learning is important since you are growing your knowledge.

Children are good observers, they are able to watch and learn new skills. By watching, they are increasing the amount of knowledge they have. Children look up to role models so they can see new ways that they could learn.

Children ask questions because they are eager to learn more. Children are interested in a topic, so they try to understand it more and so they ask for help from their classmates or teachers, to make connections with their learning.

Children take risks so they understand what they’re learning about, some of the risks are things like; asking questions, and asking students for help. Since they ask other people, they are looking at different perspectives which will help them explore different ideas.

Many people have different learning styles, some watch videos, some read, some people ask their elderlies like the teacher. To find your learning style, you have to find a way which makes you comfortable, like watching videos makes people comfortable because people are talking to you, with their opinions. You have to find something that makes sense to you. You could read, or even simply ask questions. Your learning style will help you understand, but everyone has different learning styles.
