Dragon Tails

ON Wednesday, were went out side to the upper field along with Mr. Davis's class. 

There, the student-teacher, John crated a game called dragon tails. how i understood it, it's like a combination of tails, dr. doge ball, and foot ball. The tails aspect is that when one pulls another's tail, the one who looses the tail is out. Then the dr. dogeball aspect is there when one has to pull the tail of the one with a rubber band on their wrist. finally the football aspect is there when the only way to score is to have the  one with rubber band (the doctor so-to-speak) go to the end of the field. Dragon tails was really fun for it was new, and inclusive, which was one thing that i appreciate about having John join our class. I'm looking forward to new ideas and I'm sure every one else is; may be confusing at first, but we get through it every time.  

when we played it all of us were divided by grade (a team of 10s, another of 8s, and two teams of grade nines), and i was surprised that the team that i was in was surprisingly inclusive and it feels like a team, which i find unusual. anyways, it was really fun and i admired the grade 9's team work, and grade 10's inclusiveness.  

Mid term reflection 2015

During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate 

in a variety of activities?  On what days have you participated to your best effort and 

why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why?

I'm okay with any of the activities, and I'm willing to work hard on all of them. the thing is, if its an activity that i dont like; lets say baseball or kick ball, i wont put as much effort as i do to activities that i love, like volleyball, capture the flag, and basketball. however, despite my willing to do, i tend to struggle when im not included in the team and when the team is disconnected in any way.

How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do 

you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class?

I contribute to the class by encouraging others. especially to my friends, i tend to encourage them by going out side of the boundary with them. also, when i encourage others i let out a hard working attitude and show them that if i can work really hard and have fun at the same time, they can to.

Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself 

physically?  What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness 

goals do you have for the rest of the year? 

to be honest, i love fitness days, it's the day where i can bring my self to the peak. i love working hard on those days too, because i know that in the end of the day, the calories burned, the fat burned, the muscle gained, it's all worth it.  

What does "leadership" mean to you?  Who are the best leaders in our class - why?

to me leadership means to able to keep thing in line; no matter the circumstances. leaders are those who can take things seriously for make it fun for their followers. leaders are those who can go out of their way to be the voice. that being said, i  think that Erlynn would make a outstanding leader. 

What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year?  What are 

you the most proud of so far?

I would like to improve on putting people up and going. for example that time were my friends and i go with the other gr 8s and 9s for volleyball, i want them to try and have fun in volleyball , rather than having them getting all frustrated because of their bumps. also, i want to make any team feel like a team, because if im in a team that wants to win, well might as well connect and work together. i used to be part of a sports team and im in band so, to me team work and connection is a factor to success. 

so far this year, i am proud of my beep test score. last year my highest was 6.5 this year, half way thru this year i got up to 8.2  my highest! :D


I would give myself a 75% for this class (/-_-)/~~~ \(p_Q\)

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).
