L.I to understand the legal use of images

We learnt about legal and illegal images. A legal image is when the owner gives you right to use their image. An illegal image is when the owner doesn't allow you to use their image. To find legal images you can go to sites like pixabay or look at their licencing. To find illegal images you can go to sites like flickr. To recognize a legal image look at the licencing, if it says Cco the you know that it is a legal to use image. If the licencing says all rights reserved, that means that it is an illegal image and you can't use it.

Kiwi Sport

L.I to learn the basic grip on a tennis racket

This term our Kiwi Sport is tennis and our coach's name is coach Peter. For our first session we were learning the basic grip on a tennis racket. First we started by doing warm up, we had to put our hand palm side down and and our partner would drop the ball then we had to flip our hands over and try to catch the ball.

After that we learnt about forehand and backhand technique, first we put our dominant hand on the bottom of the tennis ratchet and our non dominant had on the top. Then that we learnt how to hit the ball, there were two ways we learnt. The first technique was using two hands (the  dominant hand on the bottom of the tennis ratchet and our non dominant had on the top) we hit the ball aiming for the cones. For the second way as we were going to hit the ball, we had to let go of our hand at the top and hit.
