That was a really fun weekend!

Last Sunday I went with my dad to the hairdresser because he wanted to have a haircut. Our transport was my dad's car and the family members who came with us were my mum and brother.

I felt so excited to see what my dad would look like after his haircut. While my dad was having his haircut, I actually had so much fun playing around the grass outside. Then I decided to make a video about an adventure on the grass. Eventually my dad finished his haircut and surprisingly, he looked amazingly handsome!

During the ride back home, I was playing a game called Flappy You and I couldn't stop playing because it was so addicting! It's a game like Flappy Bird but you can put your face on the bird and you can unlock different types of birds. They are called, Flapper, Glider and Hunter. Flapper is the default one and to unlock Glider you have to dodge 15 pipes. For Hunter you have to dodge 40 pipes. It was a great day because it was the day I dodged 79 pipes! I unlocked Hunter and I got the best score ever!

When we got home I ran quickly to the computer because I had to upload a video for my YouTube channel. My YouTube channel's name is DeRpYgObLiN. After I uploaded a video I then watched some YouTube videos for more inspiration about making videos.

I thought it was a day full of adventures but it could have been better if I had a better understanding of running a YouTube channel where I create and upload videos for people to watch.

Wow! I didn't know badminton was so much fun!

Last Friday, the entire class went to the hall to practise our badminton skills. Coach Ben gave us tiring warm ups to start off with, he told us to to jog to the wall and back twice, then he told us to swiftly using side steps to the wall and back.

The first activity we did the we did was we practised our forehand and then backhand grips. After a little while, those of us that have mastered our forehand and backhand grip we tried some marvellous tricks. We hit the shuttle up into the air and try to hit it back up in the air as many times as we can.

The next fun activity that we did was we had a serving game. We were practising our backhand serves over the net. We did it a few times in groups and then it was changed into a competition.

Coach Ben then put rackets on the floor to use as a marker and the team that hits the racket on the floor with the shuttle gets a point.

The next activity we did was another serving game. First we had to find a partner, my partner was R.J. Then we had to backhand serve to our partner. Before long, we were rallying with each other.


I thought badminton was fun and a very fast-paced game. I wish I had more time in the hall so we could keep practising and improve our skills.
