P.E



Term 3 It is now Term 3, and for fitness, we have being doing skipping to improve our fitness skills. My advice to you is get a skipping rope which is the right size for you. Otherwise, skipping is rather difficult.

**Swimming Sports:** Swimming Sports was a couple of weeks ago now, but I am very happy with my results.  I got into interschool where you swim against other schools and I managed to place in all my races meaning I will go to the regionals competition in a couple of weeks time!! YAY!

**Trust and Sensitivity Program:** At the moment for P.E we are doing trust and sensitivity programs so we can learn to trust our team mates in whatever situation we may encounter. We do a lot of silly games that are really fun and worthwhile!

**Beep Test:** Today was the first beep test for the year. We do the beep test 3 times a year. The beep test is a stamina test, meaning you run back and forth at a certain distance and you keep going to reach different levels. I will record all my levels for the 3 times we do the beep test this year. March: Level 7. 6 June: Level 7 .5 November:

** 6 Minute Fitness Runs ** We are also doing 6 minute runs around the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">28/3/11: I ran for the full 6 mins and I ran 13 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">29/3/11: I ran for the full 6 mins and I ran 14 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">31/3/11: I ran for the full 6 mins and I ran 13 1/2 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">4/4/11: I ran for 6 mins and I ran 12 1/2 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">3/5/11: I ran for 6 mins and I ran 13 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">5/5/11: I ran for the full 6 mins and I ran 14 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">6/5/11: I ran for the full 6 mins and I ran 14 and 1/2 laps of the turf. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">9/5/11: I ran for the full 6 mins and I ran 12 laps of the turf.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">** Cross Country: ** <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 29px;">Cross country is coming up so everyone is working really hard to get reasonably fit. We run around the turn for 6 minutes everyday to this, and this fitness program will also improve our fitness for winter sports. Cross Country has now been and gone, I got 4th place - YUS! That means I'm into interschool! :) Because Interschool is in 2 weeks time, I am going to run around our farm which will be good so I can get some training in. :)
