Interim Report

I believe I deserve a G for work habits in p.e, because I am very rarely away or late for class. Also, I'm always prepared to exercise and I always have my gym strip. I think I should get an A in active learning, as well, because I try hard to improve my previous scores on fitness days, unless I am not feeling well which is not very often. I help with setting up and putting away equipment and I even set up a game with the grade 8s and 9s in the small gym a few weeks ago. It went well and I think my peers and I did a good job cooperating and organizing the game. I have ,also, started doing more things at home on my own time. With the snow, I've been able to do activities such as snow boarding, which I enjoy a lot.:) I'm am especially looking forward to when the weather starts getting better, because then I can start going for daily jogs and things like that. I am enthusiastic about being more active, because I enjoy so many sports and activies and I can't wait to start doing them again when the weather gets nicer and warmer. I have not only been trying hard in p.e class but I've also been trying to add more daily activity into my life. This is why I think I deserve an A and a G in p.e this semester.:)

Active Learning 9 Semester End Post

To me active learning is a chance for me, as well as my peers, to get physical activity while learning better ways to benefit our bodies and health. I really enjoy active learning, because it is the one class of the day when I don't have to sit at a desk for the whole period and listen to a teacher talk. It's a class where I have the freedom to work on different activities and socialize with my classmates at the same time as participating in a sport or fun game. I think I deserve an A in active learning, because I am at class everyday, with some exceptions when I am away from school for a legitimate reason. I always try to do my best in p.e, unless I am not feeling very well. Also, I have never forgotten my gym strip. I really like that I have so many of my friends in my p.e block, because it motivates me too do better and try harder. Now that the weather is getting nicer I, also, feel more energetic and I want to be more active. This is why I have been doing more outdoor activities, such as going for jogs and playing sports outdoors with my friends. Overall, active learning is a chance for me to learn how to live a healthier life and apply it to my own life.

Final Blog Post of Grade 8

I have had an amazing experience in p.e. this year. I made a lot of new friends, I learned more about physical activity itself, and I also improved myself it p.e. I learned that p.e class isn't meant for the grade, but it is supposed to be for improving your overall fitness and health. This class has really motivated me to continue improving myself in physical activity over the summer. Ms. Phillips was my major motivator though, because she would push me to work harder and do my very best. I am very sad that the year has come to an end but I an also very excited for next year in p.e. My favorite fitness day activity was the beep test. However, I didn't meet my goal for the beep test, I am driven to achieve it next year. I believe I deserve an A in p.e, because I have not only tried my best in p.e, but I have also started to work harder outside of school. on my own time. I don't try in p.e for any reason, except to improve my own personal health.
P.s, Thanks for an unforgetable year in p.e Ms. Phillips!:)

The Last Beep Test of the Year

I was actually, pretty disappointed on the day of the last beep test, because I didn't get to reach my goal of 10.0. I wasn't able to reach my goal, because I forgot my gym strip at home that day and could only start the beep test, so I just went up to 5.1. The beep test before that though I wasn't feeling very good, so I only made it to 8.7. However, if I had my p.e strip I would have tried my very hardest to reach 10, and even if I wasn't able to reach 10, I know I would have still been close. Next year I know that I will reach my goal though, so I have something to look forward to in p.e. Overall, though, the beep test was one of my favorite fitness activities and I hope I get to do the beep test a lot next year.

Physical Activity at Home

P.e class has motivated me to start exercising more at home. I have started to go for regular runs after school, however, with exams I have unfortunately had to miss some runs lately. I mainly jog, but I know that I am still getting exercise, and I am still improving myself all on my own. I enjoy physical activity now a lot more than I did at the beginning of the year, and I have Ms. Phillips/ p,e class to thank for that.(:

What P.E Really Means

Throughout the year, I have learned more about p.e and what it really means. At the beginning of the year I tried in p.e class mainly for the grades, but as the year has gone on I've enjoyed p.e more and I started to work harder to benefit myself and not just for the grade. Now that I know how fun it is to try to improve yourself in I enjoy the class more. I try to work harder now, and improve myself from when I last did a certain activity or exercise. It is fun to see how much you can improve over just one year. I have learned a lot in p.e class and I would just like to thank Ms. Phillips and the entire p.e department for working so hard to be creative with the activities we do in p.e class and working so hard to help us improve ourselves.(:

Mid-term reports

There have been many fun times in p.e, I especially like doing the beep test because I can actually see my improvements based on the score. It also improves my endurance. I enjoyed the day that we used the ipads, as well, because the next day I could feel that i had done a good workout because I was slightly sore. P.e is really fun for me because I can improve myself on so many different levels and its fun as well. I like to keep active outside of school,too. I enjoy swimming a lot and I have started swimming weekly. Now that the weather I nicer I have, also, been spending more time outside, playing baskets ball and jogging sometimes. I think I deserve an A in p.e because I try my best almost always, and when I don't do my best it is because I wasn't feeling well. I plan to continue trying my best in p.e and doing physical activity outside on p.e and school.
