Fitness Tuesday //

Today in fitness we did insanity workout video. I would give myself a 3/5 because the first part I was working until I distracted myself by talking to my friend!

I could've worked much harder. 

November, 18th

For p.e yesterday we had a talk about our blogs. This was the first p.e class after I have came back from my trip. 

He explained to all of us about how we need to step up our blogging. The grade 9/10 split class has blogs that are filled with entries. It made me think more about the situation and how serious it actually was. 

Midterm

This years physical eduacation was huge on change. Everything worked a lot more different then it was last year. In all honestly it's been a confusing year for me. Somedays would be good, somedays I wouldn't show no effort at all. Like me and Mr.neufeld discuss I felt as he would give me mix signals on how I was doing in class, but he also said I've been giving him mixed behaviour.

My attendance this year has a bit off, it's could be much better, participating in most things just not as much effort was put in. Plenty of positive energy was inputed but still isn't enough. There has been many times were I've felt frustrated with my results in fitness days mostly, 

I think I deserve an C+ grade because I feel as if a B or A student would put much more into small things that mean a lot. I hope to be much better in the upcoming years, and learn to start setting goals. 

Beep Test

Yesterday we had a surprise fitness day, It really didn't shock me because I knew we had a professional day on friday. I wasn't really in the mood for anything starting from when I woke up, you can say I was having a slow morning. When I found out that we had to do the beep test I was pissed. While I was running I could remember I already had a set goal in my head, it started off as thinking I was gonna stop at 5 just because I was lazy. I pushed myself a bit longer, untill I started to feel sore around my legs I knew I wasnt as tired and couldve ran some more, I stopped at 8.1 which was dissapointing a little because my highest was 10. I felt bad for myself and saw dissapointment in my volleyball coach's face. It was a relief thinking that I was done with it, untill Mr.neufeld came out of the blue and had decided that our class was not working together to push eachother, and that not everyone was not doing there best. Mr.neufeld had gave us a lecture that was super reasonable and motivational. It made me feel guilty because I knew I couldve done much better. We were gonna do the test again. You would think that I was mad and irritated, but I was actually kind of glad that I could show what I was capable of.
My last mark was a 9.3 It wasn't much of a difference, but this time I felt as if I tried my best.

Weight room

Yesterday in the weight room we were told to find or come up with a workout with a goal, we used google as a source and searched up volleyball Workouts and warm ups. 

"Squat exercises prove most effective in working them as the motion is similar to a leap or jump."

The reason why we chose squating for a workout, was only because we thought it would improve something in volleyball because squating is part of an athletic position for the sport and the only way things would work out is if you are low. Just by reading some things about squating and volleyball, I've learned that jump squating would've been much more helpful since it helps you out with your vertical and would help you improve with jumping higher!

This is a good example of what we can work on next day

First for 5 minutes all four of us Jusleen, Zoii & Kimberly ran up the stairs. We then figured out how out of shape we were because we got super tired.

For each workout, we did 3 sets of 10 

And repeated the list twice! 

In the photo you can see our dumbbell squats, it was great because the boys joined us. The effort and energy was all there, it felt a lot better to actually participate... I'm in the process of showing Mr.neufeld that I can be much better than he thinks I am.

Scavenger hunt

This picture was taken on the Wednesday we did the scavenger hunt, we needed to take a picture of a police car and it literally took us half hour to take a picture because Kimberly had the flash on and it was a super funny.

I had a lot of fun and I remember being super energized, physically I failed on one part is because i forgot my p.e strip.

It didnt really stop me from running to each item, but I could've been much better if I was more prepared.

Active learning final blog

This year has been a roller coaster for myself. Semester two has been most difficult because of my un-ability to participate in class. I would say my positive attitude has been always been impacted towards most of my class-mates and being respectful to my teachers has never been a problem.

I've noticed that I have become less weaker because of less motivation was given. But I look forward to a better year next year when I'm much better.

Active Learning (Mr.Vaughan's Class)

Being prepared for class has been effortless this year
being punctual needs improvment\
I believe that my cooporations in this class has been quite fair.
I feel like ive put a lot of my confidence & I demonstrate positive social behaviours.
a lot of my energy hasnt been in class everyday, because of the stress from school.
I show a lot of repsect for my teachers always.
My participation depends on how im feeling that day, since the class is in the morning thats another reason why I don't feel physcally preprared for class.
I feel like I am showing a healthy lifestyle since my eating habbits have been getting better because of  my health , also Ive been going to the gym with my siblings 3 times a week, to help me stay fit for the upcoming volleyball season next fall.
I understand leadership and try my best to show positive attiude for the grade 8s in my class.
I also have a general understanding on goal setting,but my focus level is pretty low. but this year I have learned how to push my self, physcally and emotionally.
Creating a safe enviournment for physical education hasn't been a problem & being organized,volounteering hasn't ethier.

Based on this Information, I think I deserve a Satisfactory ( C+) (B+) because more effort can be put.
