1.1, 11PEA Childhood Games (14-12 games)

Today we played childhood games that were and is stil popular now.  The game we played was Leapfrog, Octopus, 4-sqaure (handball), skipping, hopscotch.  First game we played was Leapfrog, we got split into two equal groups and had a race of leapfrog from one side of the court to the other.  As a class we then played Octopus together as a class after Octopus  with only half an hour left we had free time.  We could play any game until the bell rang.  Everyone played handball because it is a game that is still popular compared to the other games.

I put myself on 'm' because I supported others and encouraged them when they needed it.  I showed enjoyment during the activity.  I was motivated  and reliable during the activity.

Previous experiences was a positive because when I was little, my brothers and I would always play Leapfrog, Octopus skipping and hopscotch, so I was familiar with the game and how it goes.

Skill level was a negitive because now that I'm all grown and not flexible like I was back then I couldn't reallys skip fast like I used to.   Skipping was a big thing in my childhood, I would always skip all day with my best friend.  Fun and enjoyment was a positive outcome in my participation because it was fun to play games that I always used to play in my childhood.

I could increase my peers paticipation by encouraging them to play other games, or if they don't know how to play, I could explain it to them .

1.1 11PEA Turbo Touch (13-12 games)

Today we played turbo touch with the year 9s.  Turbo touch is a very simple yet fast game.  There is a try zone where you have to put the ball down in order to score.  You can't be  in the zone when putting the ball down.  We as two classes changed the rules up abit.  We decided to tap the ball when you get touch, you'll have to pass the ball twice before scoring and two touches only then handover to the other team .

I put myself on a 'M' because I was motivated and reliable to play.  I worked hard towards the goal with my team. I supported my teammates when I'm on and off the field.  I had seeks to try and improve on my performance through development of skills, well-being and fitness.  I had also tried my best throughout the activity.

The competition in the game was a positive because there was alot of people who was into the game and strive to win the game which made the game insane and hard to get to the try zone.  This made me think twice as fast as everyone else in order to try and get to the zone.

The Equipment in the activity was a positive inflence in my participation because we had all the right gears and the right equipment to play.  This helped to make myself and everyone play even more because there was equipment that wasn't broken or missing.

Enviornment was a negative inflence in my participation because it was  very small to play in as we had many people playing.  We couldn't play outside because the ground was muddy and wet from the rain.  We couldn't play on two courts because there was people fixing the light on the other side so for our safety we stayed away from it and just played on one court.

I could help increase my peers participation by encouring them to try harder and help explain things or the game rules if they didn't heard so that they don't waste the teachers time and everyone elses time.

• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria)

I would put myself on 'M' because I encourage my partner to do well and keep going when she felt the needed to stop and we only had about 10 seconds left on the russian Twists. I tried my best on all activity except the burpees but on the last round I tried my hardest.

What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation).

Challenge was a positive influence in my participation because the challenges had given me motivation to keep pushing myself past the limit, for example when we had 20 seconds lef and I was on the russian twits, I pushed myself and tried to get past 10 or 20 twits before the time was up.

Equipment was a positive influence in my participation because we had all the equipment ready and set up for us. No equipment was broken so it was good to use.

Environment was a positive influence in my participation because we were in an environment that had spaces and room for us to do our activity. This made us get around things well and workout well without hurting or knocking anything over.

• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

I could help increase on my peers participation by helping them and motivate them more often when they feel like giving up.

Ping Pong (game 11-12)

• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

Ping pong is another term of table tennis. In the activity, there is a table, ping pong ball and a little racket. On the table there is a net that goes across the table. To score a point you'll need to hit the ball on your side and make it go over the net to hit the other sides of the table. If they hit it back you'll have to keep going until one of yous lose control of the ball.

• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria)

I grade myself a M because I was enjoying the activity, supporting my teammate because she had never played ping pong. I seek to improve my performance and I worked hard to win the game as my partner really didn't participate in it.

• What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation).

My skill level were a positive influence on my participation as I had the skill on how to play ping pong from my dad and brothers.

Sense of Achievement was a positive outcome on my participation because I wanted to achieve on one of my goals I had which was to try my best by my self since my partner didn't want to participate as she felt like she would make us lose, which I didn't mind because all I wanted to do was just play ping pong with everyone.

Previous experience was another positive inflence because I played and learnt how to play ping pong with my family, we would set a net on our dining table and just play it with one other all day and night, my dad taught me a way to hold the racket as I was struggling to hit the ball over the net.

• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

I could help my peers by explaining the rules and how to play it when they don't know. This could increase my bond with them and also help increase their skills level and sense of achievement.

Balance and Stablity

• What are the three parts of balance and stability?

COG- (Centre of gravity.) Point which all parts of the object are equally balance.

LOG-(Line of Gravity) Vertical line straight down the body including through the Centre of Gravity to represent the direction of gravity.

BOS- (Base of Support) Supporting area benearth the body including the points of contract with the ground.

• How can someone increase their balance and/or stability?

TO increase their balance they need to increase their base of support to have good balance. Also the line of gravity will have to be straight down from their head to toes.

• Describe your task from the start of the poses to the end of the Slides. Talk about what you enjoyed and what you found difficult.

This first position we did with all of peers and class mates, this was a easy but hard part to do as some people on the bottom wasn't very strong and didn't have balance to hold the people on the top. We were also very close to each other which was gave us an unbalance surface.

The second position was the easiest and most simple position to do, as we had a big base to support our balance so we were stable enough to hold the person on top of us.

The thrid position was a very hard one for us to do, we had to try and balance the person who is on us and had to get the timing right. Also it was hard to get both boys to get their feets to touch each other so they are stable enough and have the support from us girls holding them.
