Kiwi sport

L.I to learn how to serve in volleyball

This week for Kiwi sport we learnt how to serve in volleyball. First we went over the last skill we learnt which was setting. After that our coach taught us how to do the under- arm serve and the over- arm serve.

For the over- arm serve we had the same open palm just hitting from the top to the bottom, this the time our other hand with the ball was higher. This allowed us to hit the ball straight instead of hitting it up and for the ball to come back down again.

This week for maths we solved a problem about the school selling calendars. Each calendar cost 12 dollars and there were 149 calendars sold, but the school had to pay the calendar making company 6 dollars and 90 cents. We figured out how much money the school would make from selling 149 calendars. The strategies I used were subtraction to subtract 6 dollars 90 cents which would go to the calendar making company and multiplication to multiply 5 dollars 10 cents (Which is the answer to 12 dollars - 6 dollars 90 cents) by the amount of calendars sold which is 149 to get the answer.
