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.

The Unique Fitness Expierence

This past week, I found the fitness activity on Friday to be very different and unique. I thought it was really fun because there were different aspects to it for instance running two laps with your team , running a lap with your team with the weight, and then moving the tire as quickly as possible. Teamwork and patience was necessary since not every one was able to pick up the pace that others were capable of.

Overall, I personally loved the activity, it reminded me of sports day in elementary school. I would really love to do it once again and add more activities to it like tug of war. Over this past week I believe that, I have worked very hard on the fitness days and non fitness days in the small gym!
