Fitness+and+P.E

**Fitness:**

Skipping:
Starting this term (Term 3) we have been skipping to keep our fitness levels high. Every day we will usually skip for 2-3 minutes continuously and then we skip around our turf. We are able to control the intensity of our skipping which is great. I find this skipping really fun but I'm keeping fit at the same time. Hopefully we will continue to do this activity throughout the term.

Cross Country:
Our annual cross country was held on the 24th of May 2011. It was held at a nearby farm which means the course was very challenging! I came 9th in the Year 8 Girls Race and I am very pleased with that. I have also made it into the InterSchool Cross Country for the first time which I am also very proud about. I definitely think the training we did at school helped me become more fit for this event.

2KM Run:
Now we have replaced our 6 minute court run with a 2KM run that we do everyday. 2KM is approximately 2 laps around our school. This is more intense and is great for those who want extra training. I will update everyday with my scores.

Day 1: I ran the 2km in 11:10 minutes Day 2: I ran the 2km in 11:34 minutes Day 3: I ran the 2km in 11:07 minutes Day 4: I ran the 2km in 11:39 minutes Day 5: I ran the 2km in 11:13 minutes

The Court Runs are when we have to run around our Turf for 6 minutes and keep count of how many laps we have run. We will do this as often as possible. The reason why we do these court runs is because this will help us get more fit for the Winter Sports most of us take part in. WE are also preparing for Cross Country which is in May, 2011.I will keep track of my scores here on my Wikispace.

=P.E:=

Term 1:

For P.E at the moment we are doing Trust and Sensibility games. We learn these skills through a variety of games. We recently did a game where we were in partners and we had to be guided to a place using only 4 commands: Stop, Left, Right and Forward. The only thing was the person being guided had their eyes closed. This was a great way to trust other people. I found that once I was in the dark, I felt as though I had lost all of my senses.

Term 2:
