P.E

The whole year has been great! Ms.Phillips was a great and fun teacher. I loved my classmate specially since my cousin is there. The whole year has been a great experience and I would like to have Ms.Phillip as my P.E teacher again, if I can. Also we played a lot of games, I specially liked the one when its just all girls. I made a lot of new grade 8 friends. They are fun and funny to be around with. I felt proud that I maintained my letter grade, even though the grades doesn't matter. But I think the students were raised to care about the letter grade and not what they can or cant do. Also most of can not evaluate ourselves, because we don't want to sound cocky or anything. I think, just give yourself whatever letter grade and explain why you deserve that. I didn't really like fitness that much, but I always try my best. I can out of breath easily, and the thought of "I can't go anymore," puts me down. I think I'm tired so I take a rest and everyone just kept on going. I like beep test, not really. I just don't like the original one, where I can't have breaks. I wanted to keep going but if I did then that's kind of cheating. I wanted to be at least at level 6 but that didn't happen, but I hope next school year I can reach my goal. I personally like the blogs instead of interviews. Right when there's an interview, I would just blank out and can't think of anything else. Over all I think I deserve an A. I hope we keep this blog post longer. Lastly, I hope everyone has a great summer. :)

Divided into 3

Today's P.E was actually fun. When we don't play by the rules sometimes it can be fun. The only rule that we broke was just stepping more than 3 steps and sometimes we shoot in the key. But sometimes a game is not fun when we don't break the rules, just don't break it too much and it's just a P.E game not a tournament. I actually sweated a lot during the whole block and ran. The boys didn't hog the ball like some boys. In my team we had more than 1 goalie at one point, but mostly there was 2 people on goalie because the players on the other team was scoring more than us. Over all today gym was fun and I would games and sports that makes me sweat and sometimes have to catch my breath like what we did for warm ups the Octopus game.

The last beep test

Beep test for me was usually hard. My highest last year was 6.9 with stopping but now my highest was 5.1. I am disappointed but I'm going to try harder next year. On Tuesday, when the teachers said it was the last beep test, my body kinda didn't want to try anymore. It's the last beep test so I thought it doesn't matter. But while I was running, I still wanted to run, but I was out of breathe, and its a normal beep test not like those other ones where you can get a rest. On the fitness day, I only got to level 5, but I did made some improvements. During the whole year I stayed in the 4 level range but in the last beep test I got to 5. I guess I'm kind of disappointed but also proud of myself too.

Poker and Relay

The fitness on Tuesday was tiring! It was sunny and hot but its still kind on fun! When I run back with a card on my hand I was like puffing when I got back from my team, and when we did the relays was hard too. The weight that my team got was kind of heavy to run with. While I was running, I notice that most of my energy was focused on carrying the dumbbells so I was already tired when i arrived at the wall. The harder part was when we have to carry it over our shoulder. It was a tiring fitness.

On Friday when we did the circuit thing around the achoo, I thought I was on and off there. Like all of a sudden I want to ran the whole time and sometime I just want to walk. I don't just want to run because there was a teacher behind me, just want to run. Over all I did pretty well last weeks fitness. On Tuesday, I think I did go but there's certain exercise that I didn't do well. If the exercise was to boring I make it more fun and try to make my partners laugh and at the same time it makes my heart races. I like lacrosse because I actually participate in it and I like catching the ball. I've been participating my hardest since grade 8 and I think nothing change, well maybe just a little bit but I still try my best to push myself to the limit and I would participate as much as I can every gym class we have. I think I deserve an "A."

Zumba

WOW, today is the start of dance week and we did Zumba today, and it was tiring but was a lot of fun. Now this is the kind of activity that I will fully participate in! I can't help but sweat in Zumba but its good because it shows me that I did participate and work hard during the dance. Now I can't wait for Bhangra! i think Bhangra is a fun, happy dance, and I like their songs even though I don't understand them. I love dance week!

Outside of School

Every Saturday I do Arnis (Filipino martial arts) and my instructor just added to our exercise, core workouts and its hard and it really does work on my abs. I guess when it's a martial art mainly your whole body works so, sometimes when we have fitness on saturday I come to Arnis all sore. Can't do some technique without saying "ow." The good thing about arnis is you don't have to be fit to learn and master the martial arts, but we do our exercises so our footwork can be more smoothly and be in shape just a bit. Does walking home to school counts as an outside of school activity?
