Beep Test - PE

Hey! This week we started a new Hurumanu. We have PE on Monday and Thursday. We also have groups that we have to work with for the rest of the Hurumanu! My group's name is "Cripsy Chicken", a little weird considering I don't eat meat. Anyways back to what we did.

On Monday, in our groups, we did the 4 different activities listed below!
- Vertical Jump 
- Sit and Reach
- Sit-Ups
- Grip Test

Here are my results for each of the activities. 

Vertical Jump - (M1) 1.9 (M2) 2.14
Sit and Reach - 24
Sit-Ups - 10
Grip Test - 6

I consider these pretty good results, not the best, could definitely improve but I tried my best. Next time we do this I have some strategies in mind which I could use! 

On Thursday (Today) we did the Beep Test.
If you've done this test you know how challenging it is. People challenge themselves for 2 main reasons. People try to either beat their own score (if they've done it before) or they just try to get above level 5 to prove that they're "fit enough".

We do Fitness Training to prove how fit we are at certain things and to maybe compare at the end of the Hurumanu. But we could also do Fitness training because to get us ready for the Hurumanu. We need to know what's coming!

My results for each thing that we did this week are...

Vertical Jump - (M1) 1.9 (M2) 2.14

Sit and Reach - 24

Sit-Ups - 10


Grip Test - 6

Beep Test - Level 4 Stage 2

I feel like one of the areas I need to improve on is definitely on my Beep Test score. I would've liked to get above level 5 but I was pretty close and I'm not too upset about not reaching my goal.

I can reach my goal by practising whenever I get the time, for example at home! If I'm allowed I could also do the Beep Test with my brother at the park.

I worked successfully with others by cheering people who were a little behind during the Beep Test. On Monday I also encouraged my group members so they could achieve their best score.

My actions affected others whenever I cheered for them they had a face of concentration on their face. They always tried their best after receiving support from their peers.

I helped the people who were struggling by giving them advice, for example when people were doing the Sit and Reach I told them to sit straighter and stretch out their arms.

Real Crystals?

                                    Real Crystals?

Right now we're going to make some crystals! No their not real. Well they are, but they're not the expensive kind of crystals. We have to get into a group of 3. Somehow we're in a group of 4. Elisha Mae, Risha, Shalizeh and me have decided to do one each, well nearly. Risha has already done this experiment at home that's why she decided to help us out.

I decided to do the sugar crystal. 

The mixture for the sugar crystal was a wee bit complicated. You have too keep adding in sugar into the water until it doesn't dissolve anymore.

Sugar Crystals

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1) Cup

2) Spoon

3) Salt 

4) String

5) Popsicle stick

Process

Step 1: Get your cup or glass

Step 2: Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Put it in your cup or glass and mix.

Step 3: Mix until the sugar dissolves. When the sugar has dissolved add 4 more tablespoons.

Step 4: After the sugar doesn't dissolve in the water get your popsicle stick.

Step 5: Get your string. Tie the piece of string around the popsicle.

Step 6: Now dip the popsicle in the water and leave it in the water.

Reflection

Our crystals are not done, they should be by our next Science session (Thursday). I'm really excited to see how they will turn out, I wonder if I will be able to eat mine since it's just sugar and water.

Look out for part 2 coming out on Thursday!
