Steamed Salmon: A Beter Choice

steaming food and baking food is a better and healthy choice, because when fried, im using oil. and oil can be fatty, and besides that the fat from the fish will seep and set into the salmon. anyways im saying this because this is a saving grace for me, because my goal is to use less oil than my family would normally use.

Probably one of the hardest things to do

I noticed something, i noticed that connecting and being connected with others is a hard thing to do. First of all at the time, my friends and i were playing with the grade 8s and 9s, and most of them we did not have the the time or no time to get to know them. It was evidient because when were in the same team, we dont get along, like there doing their own way, and im doing it my way. Because of this we were confused and some what frustrated. Also, since we bearly know eachother, some felt awkward to ask our friends and i questions, and viceversa. I used to be in a volley ball team, and here the whole team should work together if the team wnats to win.

Fitness: hill run

For the hill run my goal was to run more then 5 laps, and hooray, i ended up doing 7 laps!

The hill run wasnt so bad, really its just that the part where i walk down the hill wss hard. As i rest down the hill, i learnt that it only hurts when you stand around; i did that once and after that my legs were in pain. So in conclusion, its best to keep the muscles moving and the lungs breathing. Other wise its gonna cramp and the lungs will loose breath.

Another thing that i picked up on this activity was pacing. Here, pacing played a big role, and the whole idea of this activity is to run the whole interval thing without stopping. I didnt stop even once, because i found the pace that i can keep up, and id rather not follow other paces, because it can be too slow or too fast.

Fitness friday: pond run

for this week's fitness, we did the pond run, and i did it with hannah. 

running with hannah was nice. we were consistent with our pace, our pace was no different, and thruought the run we were mostly together; wich was different. it was different because i normaly do it alone.

the thing about the pond run is that it's all about you, no one is pushing you to try yout hardest. you can choose how you run (you can sprint, jog, or even walk during the 1 min. interval), the thing is, it you who's determining your fitness and how much you tried. 

i used this activity to crontroll my pace and how much i tried by running the whole min.

there were times when hannah and i were like "we can't do this anymore", but we manage to fight that. 

capture the flag: gr 9s vs gr 10s and 8s

the other day, we went to the lower feild to play capture the flag, and wasn't that intense?

well, in my opinion it was intense. 
the grade 9s were going in and out of our side; making our defense busy. us, we were all over the place; some of us stayed at our side, some constantly go in the other side, and some just did both (i did that). overall, every one was busy, running, and no matter how the gr 9s tried to get all of our equipment, our team managed to keep getting more equipment. thus keeping the game going without a winner. 

thruought this experience, i notice that theres something in capture the flag that has worth, and that is to push one self to do something that they woundn't want to do. espacially for those who arent as confindent as the others in gym (that would be me :),capture the flag is a grat opprotunity for those to encourage themselves to go out of their confort zone. confort zone like staying put in their side. also, the greatest thing about going out of the confort zone is that the game feels more fun than before. like when i finnally got something from the other side, it feel good, because one: i'm helping my team, and two: it feel like and achivement (in a way).

loco motion

last fitness, we had to do loco motion. here, we had to run and do a bunch of work outs across the field for a minute or thirty seconds. i thought it was fun until i realized that this activity is all about pacing. ever since i heard that pacing is key, i was dying; it wasnt that fun. thus, in the end, the only thing that i had a problem on was just pacing my self.

to be honest, the biggest problem that i have in P.E was just pacing, so since thats the case i can set this as my personal goal.

Four Pillars

Final Portfolio Assessment "Report Card" Post - Active Learning 2014

Participating:

During gym, i always participate. fist i show it by my attendance and how i usually wear my gym strip. usually, because there are times where i dont wear my strip, but thats when i get gym unexpectedly (like today). second, during the activities, i try best and try to get the most out of it. for example, when i play speed ball, i wasnt good at both soccer or rugby; i fail to catch the ball, run with the ball, and i cant score. however, the fact i tried shows that i worked at my highest intensity level. third, aside from my disabilities, i have abilities too. for example, i am more skillful when i play games that i am more familiar with, like basket ball and volley ball. also, in these spots i showed my skill level by how i hit the ball in volley ball, and how i check my opponents in basketball. fourth, when it comes to choice days, i pick what i like, whats new, and whats fun. i like activities like capture the flag, ultimate Frisbee, volley ball and basket ball. also, new activities like this European handball game that involves trampolines. thus, i am very involved within the class, by my attendance, how i wear my gym strip, intensity level, skill level, and choice of activities on choice days. 

 

Social responsibility and contribution to the class:

Thu ought the year, i've noticed many changes regarding this pillar. first, i've noticed how out going i have been. for example, in the beginning, i was that quiet kid who always roams in the gym alone. however this changed when i made friends during this period, and because of this i've worked better with my peers. second, i work well with my peers now, because i never argue or give them tension. also, i enjoy working with my peers, because i can make friends this way. third, i show social responsibility by making every on in a team included. every team-activity, im always aware on whos included or whos excluded, because its a team and team mean every one works together. i also include others by cheering and encouraging others. fourth, i show my contribution to the class by helping out with the equipment. i dont always help with the equipment, but there are times when i do. however, comparing with how much i contributed in the first semester and this semester, i can safely say that i did more than i did before. in conclusion, my social responsibility and controbution shows when i work well with my peers, exclude others in a team, and when i help the class set up equipment.

 

Healthy living: 

  When it comes to healthy living, i would say that its decent. first, im aware with my health and especially how i eat because i think this is the problem regarding my health. for example, i watch what i eat, like before i get something from the store, i check the nutrition facts to see if its okay. also, because of this, i feel healthier. second, with my fitness test scores, i have learned how well or bad im doing on maintaining a moderate rate. for example when my beep test score drops, it tells me that im either not pushing hard enough, or im not eating well as i should be. also, when i see that my scores increased like the sit and reach one, it teaches me how my practices at home helped me to get to level 4 or 5. third, my out side of school activity needs improving. this needs improving, because i dont do it daily. however, when i do outside fitness, i usually go out run or walk for an hour, but i dont think its still enough. lastly, my healthy living is deacent, because how aware i am with my diet, my understanding with the test scores, and my outside activity (which need to be improved, but it will during the summer). 

 

Digital portfolio and reflective skills:

My digital portfolio is not the best, but not the worst. first it is not the worst, because of the number of posts that i have. however, i shows that i dont post regularly, and thats a problem. also its a problem, because it shows that dont develop a habit of doing it. second, its not the worst, because the evidence that i give. the evidence contains mostly pictures and some videos, and it usually features people who i worked with during the activities. third, my reflective skills have improved. for example, in the beginning of the year, all i said was what i did, but now i dug a deeper than that. instead, i wrote more about my experience and my opinions about the activity. last, i can safely say that my portfolio needs improvement, because of the lack of habit, and weak evidence.
