There are so many new things you can try this summer
- from tennis, to football and sailing. Seven-year-old Boo has been
taking tennis lessons. Here she writes about her first time on the
court.
I went to play tennis at the East Anglia Tennis
and Squash club on Lime Tree Road, Norwich. They run the lessons
during the school holidays.

Boo practises with her racquet |
There were 40 children so they put us in four groups
with 10 people in each.
My teachers were Chris and Hannah and from 9.30am
to 3.00pm we played different ball games and had races. I
won the running race.
The races were to warm everyone up. Then, we
played lots of different games like squash and garden path.
In garden path the teacher hit the ball on to the
wall and we had to hit it back and then we had to do it again until
we missed.

Playing ball games helps keep you fit |
If you miss you have to go and sit in the corner.
I didn't mind at all because it's teaching you not to be a sore
looser.
Me and my friend Amber had a really nice time.
On Monday we finished the day by playing
rounders.
We took it in turns to be on the batting side and
on the fielding side. I was on the winning team we scored the most
runs.
It was brilliant!
