• He’s very determined and very punctual and considered as a very disciplined person. He’s happy , very focused, generous and healthy too.

c) Our Badminton Practice.
• Last Friday, the kids substituted shuttlecocks with plastic balls because shuttlecocks were quite difficult for most of them. After getting more confidence with plastic bouncing ball; we focused back on shuttlecocks today. Obviously, most kids could serve better and showed more confident at hitting and playing. No kids complained that it’s not fun anymore because they now see what they are able to do!
• First, wearmed up to avoid injuries. Kids took part too.
• Secondly, Serving practice. Each kid has got 5 shuttlecocks.
• Thirdly, pair game whereby each kid was given 3 minutes to play against their partner.
• Fourthly, we learnt to count the scores.
