In PE our class has recently finished our swimming unit. Different skill ability students went on designated areas of the pool to secure our safety . Water polo was part of the unit since it involved swimming. We are now working on pacing ourselves in running ,jogging and practicing golf alternately. When pacing, our PE class learns how to consistently stay jogging for a mile without breaking down from weariness. Also, we learn how to stay in a eight to eleven mile pace when pacing or jogging.
For P.E. our class did two subjects: golf and dancing. During golf, our teacher made us swing the clubs at a target, and try to get the balls in it. We each got three balls and were arranged in a very long vetrtiaclly-spaced line. During dance sessions, we had to have a partner to dance with for the "Good Time" dance. There were more female than male in our class, so we had to let the boys have at least two partners. We picked our partners by giving them flowers or a flower and made and exchange. It was fun , but awkward at the same time.
In P.E. for third quarter,our class is learning how to play lacrosse. Lacrosse is a team game which requires a long lacrosse stick to catch a ball with. There are two teams, red and blue. The teams have to team up and practice throwing and catching the ball . Since we barely started playing lacrosse, our class still hasn't gotten the use of playing . Luckily, we are getting better everyday , and will someday get to play a good game of lacrosse.
P.E. fourth quarter consisted of three main sports: volleyball, tennis, and basketball. The first sport we played was volleyball. We had many good sported games against our fellow peers that helped increase our skill and knowledge of hitting the ball. The second sport our class played was tennis. We learnt the right and wrong way of how to face the tennis racket to hit the ball. It was difficult at first since a majority of us didn't have a clue how to play, but then we gradually got the hang of it when the tennis unit was closing in to an end. The last sport, which we are currently playing in, is basketball. Basketball takes a lot of teamwork and cooperation. There are some teams who lose a lot from not participating, and there are some teams who win a lot for giving their all to the game. Our class has been working on skirmishes the past few days , but we did work on dribbling and aiming a couple of weeks ago. Even in the hot sun, most of my fellow peers and I have been trying our best in basketball no matter the odds.
