Buddies #5

   On Friday we had buddies yet again and this time we played lacrosse. We all had to teach the buddies how to play and pass. We had to start a couple of times and we started out with just one ball but then we ended up using to balls. My buddy was on defence during the first few rounds and then we they decided to join the other team members out running after the ball. It was a fun day. We even encountered a frog during the game. We had to use of teaching skills by teaching our buddies the game without our own teacher. I had a really fun time though and we all encouraged everybody to join in a help each other out.

Lacrosse

    On Wednesday we played lacrosse with the girls from our band class and a few guys and well as more girls from other classes. The majority of the teams were made up of girls and let me tell you it was intense.we were scream and yelling and cheering. It was really fun though. We had gotten the game started without the teacher. We organized it and in the end we played pretty fairly we learned to cooperate and we practiced learning everyone's names as well.  I had a great time.

Buddies #4

   On Friday we had buddies again. It was really fun since we had to be the teachers again and show them the rules and get involved. My buddy wasn't there on Friday so Marcia let me tag along with her two buddies which was really nice of her. In the group we also had Sarah and her buddy. We played a different type of baseball where it was in a straight line. The game was really fun and since there wasn't enough younger buddies we decided to join in with them. Later on in the game we decided to create almost a mash up of baseball and field hockey. Instead of hitting the ball with the bat and later tossing the ball to everyone we just passed it with our sticks. The game was way more intense since sometimes it was difficult to hit the ball or it would travel far. In the end it was a really fun day to play and we had a great time.

Dodgeball

   On Monday we played dodgeball and it was nice since we hadn't played in so long. It was fun to see the team competing with each other. At one point in the game I was the last one standing and I had to get the ball into the hoop. I didn't which sucked. I wasn't at all prepared to live till the end. Before that we played a game involving pool noodles and dodge balls. That game was also quite fun. We ended the game with just playing bench ball.

Fitness

So today we were departed in to groups based on how high your beep test score was. In my group we all went at a pace that we knew we could got at. We decided to run two and walk two. I think we could have ran three and walked one though. My group was supportive with everyone. I'm happy to say that I never walked during the running portion. We were able to find a balance between moving quickly and got at a pace were we could live through the whole entire time. I think we ran about four laps maybe more maybe less. I don't really know.I wasn't counting. I'm proud of our group we put an effort and made it through.

On Tuesday we had decided the would do something a little different. I don't remember what it was called but you had a partner that you would compete against. My partner was Marcia. We needed up doing the running portion first even though we didn't even plan on doing it first. The work out we did definitely made us sore the next day. That day was about pushing your self to someone else's limits to try the better you.you could see the sweat and red faces we all had and it was a great day. What I had enjoyed  about that fitness day was that fact that we all got to try something new for a minute and push you limits. Tuesday was a great fitness day. I also took a picture with Anusha of our sweaty faces.

Speedball

   Today during gym we played speedball. The game was really fun and competitive. Today I wanted to try but I know I didn't try as hard as I could. I was still tired at the end of the game. I still tried hard just not hard enough. I tried to cheer on our team when they had the ball or passed it. This game is just full of injuries. I was hit in the stomach with soccer ball. I think its important to motivate people when they do something, because they might feel more confident or round and really have fun out there. I think it was great that we able to play against the other band class. Had a fun gym class today.
