Field Trips
Recently we went skating at newton arena and it was great! The fact that only ten of us showed up gave us more space to skate. I've got to say that having fieldtrips is awesome. I love getting to do a weekend activity on a weekday but I really hope though that more people would show up. Twice the people twice the fun!

THANKS...
Get Fit is one of the best things I've ever joined. When I switched out of PE 10 and into Get Fit, I was expecting long runs every day acompanied by a soar backside and grinding bones. And I thought to myself, well I don't think I'll really have to try, why would I its just PE. But the truth is, I'm trying and willing to put in the work. Even if I am ending up with armpit muscles that feel as though they will never forgive me, I love knowing I'm doing something beneficial in life.
I am more than ever inspired to do my best in this class, and I have got to give thanks to my BFF DellyBeans (delphine) for pushing me to keep enduring on the dreaded Fitness Days. On a run that would usually take me 35 minutes to complete, we completed it in 25! I never believed that running with a partner could help, but if it shaves of 10 minute from every run, I'm willing to do it! DellyBeans has improved my ability to complete something to the best of my abilities and even if she's not always going to be there on fitness days, I know how to keep going.
Lastly I also want to thank Ms. Phillips for being a great teacher. She's motivating and most of all kind. Someone like that makes you want to try. Previously I've head teachers who made me want to slack off. I really didn't want to get a good grade in their class because in their being miserable made me miserable. Because of Ms.Phillips attitude I know I'll continue to expand on fitness.
As far as the rest of the semester goes, I want to have a healthy body that doesn't get tired from walking home after school. Or even a body that can endure through 8 levels on the beep test. And if I can't I'll keep going and keep on joining get fit because I can and will do anything to be fit! Go Get Fit girls! Keep on Going!

SPLITZ Gymnastics
In the grass or on carpet I can't, or aren't willing to try to do flips and tricks galore. But when we went to Splitz, it was a whole other story. I willingly tried to do a sommersalt in the air, bounce off a trampoline and smack onto a foam cushion, and even cartwheeling on the springy floor.
Whatever I was previously afraid to do was now accessable in the facility. I could do anything I had always imagined of doing, like swinging on a rope as if I were a monkey, or jumping on the balance beem like a seasoned athlete.
In all of my fun and bouts of courage I even tried to do a hand stand, I did one successfully for about 3 seconds, then fell on my head. But all in all I was willing to try, something I wouldn't have done unless it was academic. And I truly did have fun, and even if I never ever jump into a foam pit again, at least I can say I tried and succeeded.
