Reading Outside The Box Challenge

Read By Ear- Sunken Forest By Des Hunt

Matt was sent to a military style camp. On the way he met a girl called Azura and a boy called Paul. Sunken Forest is set at Lake Waikaremoana near Te Urewera in the North Island. I thought this book was interesting because I felt like I was at Lake Waikaremoana in the book. I recommend this book to children 10+ for girls and boys because my class thought it was a great book and we are a range from 10-12 years of age.

Read A Chunkster-Grandpas Great Escape

By David Walliams

Years ago Grandpa was in WW2 flying the Spitfire. But when he is sent to an old folks home it is up to him and his grandson Jack to get him out of there. Only one person can understand Grandpa and that is Jack because they talk like they are in the war still. I absolutely loved this book! I recommend grandpas Great Escape to children 9+ because some words might be a bit tricky to younger children. I give this book a 10/10 because it was funny at parts and is one of my favourites.

History Behind The Squash Racquet

Harrow School in London, England invented the game squash around 1830. In 1864 the first four Squash courts were constructed at the school and Squash was officially founded as a sport in its own right.

Squash is a very popular sport in Egypt and in just one squash club there is an outstanding amount of fifty courts! When squash had just become a thing people used to play with rubber balls. When the ball hit the wall the ball would splatter against the wall.

Nowadays Squash Racquets look a lot different then they used too. Old squash racquets used to be made out of wood and laminated timber. Nowadays they are made out of aluminium, graphite and the strings are made out of synthetic material.

In the old days, there was a small amount of squash racquet brands. These days there are lots more racquet brands, for example, Head, Prince, Tecnifibre, Wilson and Dunlop. The lighter the racquet the better it is but it means that it will be more expensive. Good racquets range from over 300 dollars.

Next time you got to the squash court for a game consider all of the innovation that has gone into producing the game it is today.
