PE 10 assessment

This year, has been very different from the rest. There were more laughs, great experiences, and fun! Maybe because this year we were more self directed and we had more of a choice in what we wanted to do. Throughout the semester, I have had great punctuality and I have never been late to class. I have been very willing to try something new for example I tried cone soccer rather than something than I usually do. 

My fitness has improved, because of the dance that I did outside of school. I have built up stamina this year, because now I can run with ease. The most important thing I've learned to do is keeping a constant pace while running. I contribute to the class dynamic by helping out with the equipment for example putting it away or bringing it in. I also contribute by bringing a positive attitude and motivating my classmates.

 Being physically educated is very important to me since it is a part of my lifestyle now. I love it, and I will miss pe very much! I especially love having pe in the mornings. It kept me awake throughout the whole day. Physically educated to me, means a happy life with a great balance of eating healthy and being active. I have really enjoyed fitness days since they involved the most activity and were very fun. I have learned a variety of ways to stay active in or outside of school. I plan on doing many activities in the community with my friends in the summer, like the community run, or playing soccer at gold stone park. I found it incredible that we did activities that didn't require a gym, or high end equipment. So, it makes it easier for me to or my friends to stay fit outside of school.

 The tools that I have picked up from this course will stay with me for a lifetime. To me the lesson of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very significant. I think my work habit would be a G and my letter grade would be an A. From the start of the semester and now, I have improved immensely. I am very excited to try out what I've learned and continue this fitness aspect to my life even when pe is over. My efforts and hard work in this course have made me very proud.This year has been absolutely amazing!

The Amazing Race

Well this amazing race was absolutely amazing! I had so much fun, I liked that it was self directed. I would really like to do this one more time before school ends. This scavenger hunt was a social yet fast race based activity. My team and I managed to find eight items out of the ten, we returned earlier than all of the other teams. Since, we thought everybody would have returned by 9am. We did not find the SD36 sign and gym however with the extra time we had, I believe we could've found it.  Next time, if we get the opportunity to this activity, I want to challenge myself to get all ten items. This was a truly exciting race, I enjoyed it a lot.

Choices, and Fitness

Today was choice between volleyball, soccer, and floor hockey. My friends and I were not interested in those activities since they have become very repetitive and we wanted to do something new. So we decided to do yoga in the weight room. We followed the Bob Harper's yoga video. It was a great workout, very intense and difficult. It was sort of like insanity, I enjoyed it a lot. I think by doing yoga, my muscles loosened up. I would say it was sort of like a fitness activity. Yesterday was fitness, we did the beep test I did fairly well. I think I reached my maximum best. I have improved a lot throughout the semester from 6.5 to 7.5's. I've shown leadership skills by helping out and putting the equipment away. I feel like towards the end of the semester, I've made some new friends, which is great! Overall, I think these couple of months in PE have been a lot of fun and I've worked very hard, to my full potential.

Fitness Fridays!

Fitness on Friday, was extremely difficult since it was a very long sprint that each person had to do. The pond relay, was very different but I was easily tired because it was not really a paced activity. It was much more of a give all your best right away activity however if one gives their best, soon their energy will die which happened to most people at the end of their sprint.I would personally would have liked to do something else, more exciting like those stations we did once, on the upper field. Overall I must say I liked the new change! It was different.

Indoors and Outdoors!

Well it has been very warm from the start of May! The most fun I have had  in a while was yesterday we played cone handball, Ive never played it before but it was really exhausting and simply amazing! Yesterday in the small gym, everyone was having a great time, and there was so much positive energy everywhere since everybody tried their best! Today we were outdoors, we had an option of capture the flag or cone soccer. I chose cone soccer, it was harder than handball because there were less teams, more balls (I think even up to 4 or 5) and we had more space outside. My team and I had lots of sportsmanship, played fairly, and we were a great team. I was very happy and proud  when I knocked the cones done several times. Towards the end, I got tired and wasn't able to aim as well. Overall my team and I had a great time !

Summer weather !

Day by day, we are trying out different activities because the sun is out more. I really enjoy being outdoors! Lacrosse, and Capture the flag was exciting. Last year I really loved playing capture the flag in the forest however because of the owl habitat we are not able to this year. I wish we could find a place like that to play capture the flag in, its really fun. I found this weeks fitness harder than the usual, the relays were interesting. I realized that I need to sprint more, I have become slower. Today, Running up city hall was difficult since it was uphill and I haven't done the hill run since last year ! P.E is going too fast! its almost summer. The good thing is ,it is sunny which enables us to do more activities outdoors. I will continue to try my best and  I anticipate to have a great rest of the semester!

Midways through PE

This weeks highlight was doing the community run, it was very fun. I enjoyed the new route instead of the previous one. I think that this week went by very fast. For the beep test I maintained and got around the same score, I enjoyed doing the partner activity instead of the usual (t-test, sit & reach,etc.)I would really love to improve in the beep test, maybe by eating a good breakfast, so that I have enough energy to run in the morning. However overall, I think I've done fairly well since I tried my hardest.
