Final Post

1) Participation

I would say that this year my attendance has been perfect, aside from those days where we had double band classes. I always have gym strip. Sometimes I'm not always on time, but it isn't an all year thing. I always try to make myself included during activites we do as a class. Most of the time I enjoy the activites, (there has been like a few days where I wasn't motivated or liking what we were doing). But about 90% of the time, I'm motivated and ready to go. Whenever we do choice, I pick things that I feel I would have fun in, or that would challenge my intensity. For example, I didn't pick capture the flag last choice, because I knew that I wouldn't have tried in that.

2) Social Responsibility

I consider myself a very social person, but at the same time I don't consider myself a leader. However I do always try to encourage my peers, and throughout the year I think its safe to say, that I have tried to make gym a better place for everyone. I always try to maintain a positive energy during gym, and I try to make everyone feel included and welcomed. I usually help with the equipment if opportunity given. I have definetly made a big effort this year to maintain a stronger bond with our class, and there's barely a divide between the grade 10's and 9's anymore. 

 

3) Healthy Living

My fitness scores have been somewhat average. I have gotten a 6 on the beep test, and I believe that on the scale, its average for a female between 14-16 years old. This teaches me that I can definetly push myself harder considering I do field hockey and taekwondo. I have noticed improvements in my fitness drastically. In the beginning of the year, I could barely run 5 minutes straight on the treadmill, but now I'm at about 10 minutes and beyond. I work out about 4 times a week on my own time. I either go to the gym, for taekwondo, field hockey, and sometimes I walk home. My food choices have also improved, as I have recently cut down on a lot of sugar. My future plans are just to try to eat better food, as I'm a vegetarian and shouldn't be consuming a lot of carbs, and try to push myself even harder than I do now.

G-Stone Day

We skipped fitness to go to goldstone park and I think that's the best descision we've ever made. We ran laps there but it was fun. 

Speedball

We did speed ball yesterday, and it was really fun despite being really hot outside. Although I feel like 4 balls wasn't enough for 60 kids, and the game would've been more competitive if we had like 2 more. I tried today because I LOVE THIS GAME. i love it because its so fun and unique and I feel like you actually run around and stuff and everyone can do something in it. Like if you aren't good at soccer, pick up the ball and run with it like a football, its great. 

Boot Camp (You know its real)

Aye so today we did bootcamp (bless our souls). It was so so tiring, I guess cause we were outside and I basically tried. We had to get a partner and do a bunch of exercises and try to beat them (I ended up beating pallvi by 1 point 😂) and it was a pretty good workout. I gave up a couple times but I actually liked it because we got like 30 second breaks and decided what we wanted to do in what order. I tried today because I wanted to try, like why go to gym if you don't wanna try. It was pretty fun too. 

Circuit

So I basically DIED today. We did the circuit thingy where one partner stays in the gym while the other runs around, my partner was Katia. At the beginning I was like alright this is cool just running, and then by the end of it I was choking on my saliva. I went all out because I wanted to be the best I could be today, and I don't know what it is, but if I don't try I feel like I basically just failed. I'm proud of myself because even though I wanted to quit, I still kept going. I guess its because I had Pallvi motivating me.I'm still sweating but you probably didn't need to know that. Anywho, overall it was a great workout and I know that when I wake up tomorrow I'm probably going to be a little sore.

Super Late Dance Week Post

So for dance week we did Bhangra and Jazz! It was really fun even though I wasn't very good at jazz, it was just fun to be with all my peers and such. It was so funny when Mr.Williams came for bhangra and we basically dominated all the classes in the dance battle. Activities like these really bond both the bands together in my opinion

Buddies (Day 5)

Buddies was so fun today ahhh. We played a human version of rock paper scissors outside on the grass field. I feel like I did a good job of instructing my buddy as to how to play. First I explained to her what we were doing, and then I asked her to demonstrate to me what rock, paper, and scissors look like. I feel like she enjoyed today more as she FINALLY decided stretching is appropriate. I feel like she liked it a lot today because it was more interaction with her peers. Overall, today was really fun.
