Active Learning 10: BOOT CAMP FITNESS

BOOT CAMP FITNESS

Today, since both band classes were together, there wasn't enough room in the gym for all the classes so we went outside to the back parking lot and did a boot camp that consisted of various exercises. I partnered up with Sarah for the challenge thing at it was really hard because we were competing to win. In the end I won, but that's not what is important because we both had a really good workout and pushed to our maxes. I was sweating a lot at the end and my face was flushed. One thing I regret was choosing to run for the first drill because it would've been more beneficial to do in the middle, but now I know for next time. Today, I give myself a 4.5/5 overall because I was exhausted at the end and I encouraged my peers to keep going when we were tired. Mine and Sarah's scores are posted below:

Solid scores! I like that you are paired with a grade 9 and someone who isn't normally your buddy. You are always so welcoming and friendly to everyone in our class. :)

Jan. 7- Pickleball

Today, our class had the large gym as the facility and we played the game pickleball. Since I was talking to another teacher, I didn't know what was going on, so when Simran asked me to be her partner, I said yes. Then, Mr. Neufeld suggested that I choose a BASES student to be partners with and I gladly choose Mariam to be my partner instead. We had lots of fun and did really well. There was a lot of positive energy, which created a nice atmosphere to be in. For me, this was one of the most fun gym classes and I think she had fun too. I hope we get this chance again and have the opportunity to meet and play with more students from the BASES program.

Atomic Volleyball- Nov. 12

Today, it was choice day and Laura, Jackie, and I decided to be a team for atomic volleyball. I had played atomic badminton before and had a really fun time doing it, so I figured atomic volleyball would be fun to...and it was. We did pretty well for our first time and got the hang of it quite quickly. After a while, we joined a team of Grade 8's and 9's and played a big game, which was enjoyable as well. I helped set up and take down the nets, as well as give out the volleyballs to the different teams.

October 7- Pond Run

For fitness day today, out block did the pond run. Overall, I am very proud of how I did on this fitness day because I really pushed myself to see how fast I can run for the minute, but I still followed the guidelines. I never stopped running during the minute, and I walked at a pretty fast pace during the break. I ran with Simran first and then with Hardail. I enjoy running with my friends because we motivate each other to do better. I like the pond run because everyone can do it. Since you aren't counting your laps, it doesn't matter how fast you can run. What matters is the amount of effort you put in.
