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.(:
