On Tuesday the 17th of January year 4 learned  how to play squash.The man that did it with us was called Colin.First he taught us to hit the ball against the net.We learned forehand and backhand.To learn the forehand we played a little game.There were three lines in front  of the net.We stood in front of the net in between the first and second line, dropped the ball and hit it. If it bounced in front of the first line it was 2 points and if it landed in front of the second line it was worth 4 points and finally if it landed in front of the third line it was worth 6 points.After that we played a real game of squash. It was very fun and in my opinion forehand was easier.

On Tuesday 17th of January I had lots of fun learning squash with our wonderful old friend Colin. First we hit the ball against the net then he taught us how to do forehand and backhand. We then played a little game called squiked there were 2 teams the fielding team and the batting team everybody had a turn on both fielding and batting but i do prefure fielding it’s a lot easier in my opinion.
