Mid-Term Report Card

So far I have enjoyed community leadership. The class games,visitors, and our volunteer work has given me a good experience. I have learned a lot along the way, I really enjoyed learning about where our clothes come from. The documentary of Bangladesh really surprised me, It was shocking to see how the people from their are being treated for our clothes here in Canada. Learning about the community and about ways we can start volunteering is affective since it gives us opportunities to help out ways that we enjoy not only going for the hours. I have also learned how much preparation the organizers go through weather it is the students or teacher a lot of work goes in to get students involved. My attendance has been great so far, I have come to class everyday except I missed 1 day which was the planting because I forgot to bring a change of clothes. I have come to class bringing a positive attitude and looking forward to the class, following our class expectations. Although I need to work on class contribution. I still need to work on giving my opinion and getting out of my comfort zone, I will try to change this for the next report. The volunteering we have done so far has given me great experiences. I have done the shoreline clean-up, Gr.8 retreat, lunch for new students, garbage pick-up, the terry fox run, parent teacher interviews, blackberry removal, the movember banner and the surrey food bank. All together so far I have 18 hours. Overall I enjoy the school events and the surrey food bank the most. I enjoy helping with the school events and for our community as well. Outside of this class I have done special events with the City Of Surrey for example Canada Day and the Fusion Festival. I have also signed up for volunteering at the Surrey Food Bank had hope to start soon. I also like the idea of the Soup Kitchen and the senior homes. I think we should make a trip to the soup kitchen or continue our idea with the sandwiches. I look forward to getting more experience out from this class and I think so far I deserve 94%.

Made In Bangladesh

Watching this documentary on where are clothes come from left me shocked. This documentary showed how the clothes from some companies comes from bangladesh for example Joe Fresh from superstore or George from walmart. The labour in Bangladesh is terifying, to see the buildings and the how the workers are being treated is horrible. Seeing how the Rana Plaza collapsed and left hundred dead and many injured is kind of scary knowing that they were making the clothes that end up here in Canadian stores and the fact that we arent aware about this needs to be changed and this issue should be dealt with. We should support the factories and make them strong, having emergency exists and having proper work equipment for example masks. Seeing how the workers are being treated is sad, they should hit and force the workers and lock them in with no escape. I think this isnt very realistic because they people themselves know they need to work in order to provide for their families. They shouldnt have to be forced to stay, because that should be their choice. I think overall Canadians should help with the factories because they are technically working for us.

Community Leadership Interim

As Sullivan Heights leaders we value: -Respecting others, ourselves, and the opinions of others I think I deserve a G because, I respect the myself and the opinion of others. Listening to what they have to say and not thinking negative about them. -Individuality and being able to express ourselves freely I think I deserve a G. Everyone is their own person and they have the ability to give their thoughts. -Creating and maintaining a safe and a positive environment I think I deserve a G because because I bring a positive attitude to the class. -Keeping a tenacious nature about our passion I think I deserve a S because I always have a positive attitude towards the class assignments but I lack at putting my opinion out there. -Providing others with similar opportunities as ours. I think I deserve a G because I am fair towards others. I give others the chance to do the same as what I do.

Pe10 Summative Assessment

This semester my attendance has been great just as first term. I haven't "skipped" on pe class throughout the whole year. I have missed a day but that was because I was gone on vacation through the spring break. I never forgot to bring my pe strip and running shoes with me. I am always ready to participate in games and fitness as well. The change in my fitness has improvement from having 5.5 on the first beep test to 8.1 on my last beep test. This has improved with the motivation from my friends because they help me to go further than I would, For example doing better each time. And also because I have started to go on daily runs in the evening with Gagan. I contribute to our class by brining positive attitude and motivation for others. I think to be physically educated means to participate in physical education regularly and to be physically fit overall. I think overall I deserve 88%

Report Cards

So far throughout this semester I have been trying my best in most of the activities we do. I have come to class with the proper pe clothing and shoes every class. I only missed 2 classes which was because I was on vacation. For fitness I always try to put all my effort in, there are some days where I get lazy but my friends are there to motivate me. I think having my friends around is one key that is making me try my best. Other days when I am doing my best and my friends aren't I motivate them as well. Having your friends in pe class also helps you to try your best because knowing them for a while gets you out of your comfort zone. I think have done my best so far through this semester.

Fitness- Rotation

Yesterday for fitness we got into groups of 3 and did a rotation using dumbells, cardio exercises and other exercises. We did the rotation of each exercise for one minute. This fitness activity wasnt my favourite because I didnt like the types of exercises we did.I started off not doing my best but I put my effort into each one as we went on.

Fitness- Community Run

On Friday for fitness we did our first community run of this semester. I tried jogging through the whole run at a consistant pace but I had to take a few breaks. My goal was to be back in 30 minutes and I did achieve this. I was finished at 28 minutes but I could have come back a few minutes earlier but we stopped to help out a friend that had twisted her ankle and needed help. I thought I did pretty well for this run, but for next time my goal is to be back in 24 minutes. I will try to do this by trying to take a shorter walking break.

Work Habits

Pe this semester has been great so far. I have attended every class and havent forgotten my gym strip once. I try my best on fitness days and push myself to do my best before giving up or taking a break. Fitness is always challenge, my legs are usually sore the next day. I try participating in class games, I will do better by getting out of my confort zone and participate willingly everyday. I always motivate my friends to keep going and they do a good job motivating me. I think I'm doing better than last year because we push each other more often. I enjoy playing games with Mr. Davis's class. Outside of school I dont play any outside of school sport but I usually go out with my little cousins. I overall I'm doing good and think I deserve a G.

Fitness - Extended Beep Test

Today in pe we did the extended beep test. This was hard but it isnt hard compared to something like insanity. I ran following the normal beep test (with no pauses) until the middle of 6. This was better than the last beep test. Than I took a break everytime it was needed but I pushed myself to try my best before taking a break. When I got to level 18 I couldnt run anymore because the beeps were too fast for me. Overall I think I did pretty well today

Fitness- Insanity

For fitness we did insanity, this was my first time doing this and I found it one of the hardest things I've done. Insanity is hard but I think once I get use to it, it will seem better. For example when I did the first beep test I found it really hard but now its really easy. I tried my best 80% of the time while we did this but there were times when I got really tired. I agree with the teachers that we, ourselves are the only ones that can choose to do it properly. Being pushed into doing something isn't the way it should be, we have to set a goal for what we will do in order to not be stopped and have to listen to the teachers. I think next time in order to do it better I will set a goal that would be, even if I get tired I will keep exercising maybe slower or exclude something but I will try to keep going for the whole time.

Dodge Ball

Today for pe we joined with Mr. Davis’s class and played games together in the large gym. All the activities we played were really fun. Gagan, Guneet, Sukhi and I were playing with effort since we were in different classes it was a challenge. I enjoyed playing dodge ball. I like playing games like these other than the usual general games like volleyball and basketball.

Fitness- Across The Gym

For fitness we did different activitoes across the gym for 30sec - 1 minute. We went across doing different things. Gagan, Guneet, Karyssa and I motivated each other to do it properly and we all put our full effort into doing so. We kind of lacked off on the leapfrog but other than that we did our best.

Fitness- Hill Run

Today we went outside for the hill run. This was a different hill than the one we ran last year. This hill was really steep and it was REALLY hard to run up. I ran with Karyssa again this time. We ran up as fast as we good but it got really tiring towards the end. This hill was really hard to run up. This is one of my least preferred fitness activities that I would want to do.

Fitness - 30 secs on/off

For fitness we picked partners and did a 30 secs on and 30 sec off rotation. I liked this fitness because I thought it was fun. Karyssa and I did everything for the whole 30 secs. We made sure both of us were doing it properly and for the full turn. I tried my best and put effort into this activity and felt really sore the next day. This is the type of fitness I would prefer.

Fitness- Pond Run

For fitness this time we went out and ran around the pond. I really didn’t want to run around the pond because it was so cold that morning and I was freezing but I ended up getting a jacket and having to run. I liked how it was 1 minute running 1 minute walking because that helped us to keep running. I ran with Karyssa and we did our best to run when we were supposed to. We got really tired toward that last 10 minutes so we ran but really slowly. I think in order to avoid getting tired fast next time I will keep a pace and keep running at that same pace the entire time.

Fitness - Running

For fitness we ran through the small gym, large gym, the hub and up the stairs for 40 minutes. I ran for the whole time with Sukhi, we motivated each other to help us keep going for the entire time. We got really tired after 20 minutes but managed to keep running. We didn’t go up the stairs every time because it was really tiring but we did go up every second circulation.

Fitness- Beep Test

My goal for this beep test was to get 5 but I was able to push myself and I run until 5.5. I thought this was good because I wasn’t planning on going that far on the first day since it had been a while since I had done the beep test. Getting up to 5.5 was really tiring; I didn’t go out because my friends went out but because I knew I couldn’t do more that day. Having pe everyday is going to help this improve. Fitness: • Beep Test: 5.5 • Push Ups: 2 • Sit & Reach: Level 2 • Balance: 9 taps • Plank: 1 min • T-Test: 13.38 (I wasn’t able to finish)

GOAL:

This semester in PE10 my goal is to achieve an A. To achieve this goal I will bring my pe strip to class everyday, I will put effort into fitness for example try my best on beep tests (7), and I will participate in games.
