We have been practising badminton. It is our new favourite sport apparently!! Everyone is up for the challenge.
Room 6 decided to do some experimenting with how we could design our own shuttlecocks. We tried a few substitute items. We talked about what worked well, and what didn't and why. Tell Mum and Dad about your results.
We tried a rubber, a red nose, a rubber dinosaur, and some screwed up scrap paper.
We also had a big foam dice and tested how tissue paper worked.
We found that most of us could hit the screwed up paper even easier than the shuttlecock, but the rubber bounced well. Some of us thought marshmallows would be amazing shuttlecocks, but unfortunately we didn't have any to experiment with.
In the end we all made our own coloured shuttlecocks out of screwed up paper with some sellotape to hold down the pointed parts. We got to choose if we wanted to add tissue wings or not.
Look at us go! We are great badminton players.
Look out Olympic Games 2024!!!
