Eva's P.e Leaning Story

Eva’s P.E Learning Story.

“There may be people that have more talent than you, but there is no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.

(Quote by Derek Jeter)

Our P.E is purpose is to...

“Expect the best from ourselves and each other when we play team sports”.  

During the past few weeks for P.E my class has been having amazing learning experiences while playing dodgeball and working our way up to softball by playing rounders and then t ball.

While playing these sports we had a really fun time. In rounders I thought I was good at...

• Calling out our team mates names to help relay the ball in.
• Have team talks to discuss our strategies.
• Trying our best and never giving up.
• Sharing the ball.

I was good at these because I never gave up and I kept giving it my all even if my team wasn’t. If you don’t know what rounders is let me tell you a little bit about it. There are two teams one is feilding and one is throwing. Someone from the throwing team throws the ball then has to run around all four bases as many times as they can. If the fielding team catches the ball the thrower is out. The only time the runner has to stop running is when the ball has come back to base one. It is basically like softball without a bat and some slightly different rules.

The K.C skill that I think I used well for this game was…

Participating and contributing because I put all my effort in to the game and never stopped trying.

I think my next steps with this game is to spread out when my team is feilding, also try to catch the ball and get people out. I will do this by not being afraid of the ball and going in to a space and that will make it harder for the runner.

In T ball I think I was good at…

• Calling out our team mates names to help relay the ball in.
• Sharing the ball.
• Support each other by cheering and giving out high fives.
• Try our best and never give up.
• Including and encouraging our team mates.

I was good at these because I took on leadership roles by making sure everyone was having fun, playing fairly and no one was left out. T ball is just like softball, but you don’t pitch the ball, the ball is sitting on a little stand that makes it easy to hit.

The K.C skill that I think I used well was relating to others…

by explaining things to then that they might not understand, helping them when they need help, calling out for the ball, and encouraging them when they are batting.

My next steps would be to think more strategically by making sure that there are no gaps for the batter to bat the ball, making sure I hit the ball in an open space and trying to run as fast as I can. The way I will achieve this is not worrying where the ball is going and just running my heart out, making sure everyone is in there own space so that there are not gaps, and looking for an open space and hitting the ball into that direction.

In dodgeball I think I was good at...

• Sharing the ball.
• Helping others.
• Thinking strategically.
• Trying my best and never giving up.

I was good at this because I would not give up even when my whole team was out and I was the only one in. Everyone knows what dodge ball is right? Yeah I thought so, I won’t have to explain this to you.

The K.C skill I think I used was thinking...

because I had to think of ways to help my team win and to get the other team out faster.

I think my next steps would by to step out of my comfort zone a bit more because I don’t really like being hit with balls but I guess it’s all part of life. I think I will do this by just going for it trying my best and if I get hit just keep playing.

P.E is not one of my favorite subjects. I don’t mind it but when I am playing against really serious and competitive people I don’t really like it. I guess it’s all part of trying new things, what my family always say “suck it up, get on your feet and keep playing”.
