Buddies.. Again!

Last Tuesday, we went to see our buddies again. My buddy wasn't here so I was paired with Natan's buddy (Natan was at intramurals!) Natan's buddy is also quite chirpy and isn't too shy, I've worked with him before though! Natan's little buddy and I talked for a bit, and got to know each other more, and then we started the class.

We played rock, paper and scissors in various ways. Natan's buddy is definitely a fast learner, I showed him once and he caught on. He knew how to play regular rock, paper and scissors already,  but he understood the body version right away. He did really well while playing the game and had great team spirit; he was still happy and chirpy if he didn't win. Natan joined us afterwards, and his buddy was quite happy. In general, this class was pretty successful, but I missed little champ.

SALAD 😍

Okay, so the other day I was eating salad in class.. it was my lunch whoops. Nimrit and Aaron gave me the idea of taking a picture and posting it on my blog. I've noticed that my eating has gotten healthier, I look more into salads and vegetables rather that burgers and fries. For snacks, I go for yogurt and fruits. I've been quite happy with my eating improving. Here's a picture! 

Fitness Friday

Okay, so I didn't do this fitness activity because I was having some issues and wasn't able to participate. I got the honour to take pictures; pretty sure I can go in professional photography now.. jokes. Either way, this Fitness activity seemed like a lot of fun. It was relays! These relays were on the lower field, and I have to say everyone was working hard on this. Everyone was participating greatly in this activity and there were a lot of red faces! I was able to take pictures of our class and I think I got everyone.. hopefully! Either way, I hope the next time we do this, I can be part of it! :)

Healthy Eating

I got hungry, and wanted some kind of snack- instead of having junk, I ate strawberries! I personally love strawberries, and eat them often. I've noticed my eating become healthier, and I'm quite happy and proud of it.

Choice - Handball

     Today in P.E. we got to do choice. The choices were Handball, Badminton, Soccer, Zumba and Ping Pong. I chose to play Handball with a couple other band kids. Shout out to Stroh for helping us with like all of the equipment. We were split into three teams, so we were on and off pretty quick, this was a good workout. We were able to run and throw and it also required teamwork, it was played well. I liked my team, we cheered each other on and we involved one another. This actually turned out really well and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. If you look at Nimrit's blog, there are some pictures of us and our teammates! :)

All My Buddy Posts :)

First Meeting With My Buddy:

Alright, today was a great day in P.E. I got to meet my buddy! We have a buddy program with Cambridge Elementary and are big buddies to grade 1's and 2's. They are such adorable young children and just make you smile instantly. 

My buddy is absolutely adorable, he's so funny and energetic; just like me! He starts off shy, but then becomes quite open. He loves to talk and always has a smile on his face. He's got a long hair and his this mushroom haircut kind of thing going on. It was so nice talking to my buddy because he isn't very shy and likes to talk about things. He loves playing basketball and it is his favourite sport; he also likes other sports like soccer or something that involves running. My buddy has two sisters and two brothers, all older than him except for his youngest brother. He loves playing outside and enjoys school. He likes nature and being outdoors. He loves spending time with his family and likes to go out with them. My buddy claims to like all subjects and enjoy each one; he likes being in class. He's got this great energy to him and I swear he could become an actor or something. We were asked to do certain walks, happy, sad, angry, etc. He rocked it, and did all the walks with such emotion; he needs to be in theatre! He's so cute and funny, and he always has a smile on his face. He cooperates really well and likes to communicate with others. I loved meeting my buddy and hope to meet him again soon.

Buddies again! :

YAY, I got to meet little champ again today; my buddy is such a pleasure to be around and he's just such a great kid. He loves running around and he;s got this energy in him that just makes things so much more enjoyable! Today we played music and did different running around exercises, like the different kind of walks, hopping.. etc. We're gooing to call my buddy little champ, because it just suits him (he's adorable.) Alright so little champ did great a this, he was hopping around and running, I had to catch up with him! Kids run so fast with so much energy, you really have to keep track of them. I personally love having a little buddy, it really kicks in the responsibility aspect of you. Having a little buddy really gives you the instinct of putting them before yourself and making sure they're okay; you want to make sure they always are safe. Even when doing a simple running activity, you want to make sure they aren't falling or hitting themselves. I think that's really what connects you, it's the instinct of having someone younger than you to take care of. Having a little buddy is such a great experience, and I'm really happy that I am able to be part of something like this. 

Buddies.. WOOHOO:

Alright, so another great experience with our buddies today. Class started off with talking to our buddies about what they did over the break! I wasn't able to meet little champ last time we had buddies, so it was nice to see him again. He got a haircut, no more mushroom cut! Aw, I'll miss that cute hair he had. Either way, he was still the same chirpy, cheery boy I had met the first day. I talked to him about what he did over his easter long weekend, and he did lots. He went to dinner to his older sister's house and had loads of fun. He played soccer till 12 at night and loved the weather. I asked him if he had lots of chocolate and he said no, but  talked about having a grand dinner at his sister's. He talked about playing with his friends and enjoying the weather.

In this class we focused on underhand throwing, and using the opposite foot to step forward when throwing the ball. My buddy was good at this, except just needed to get the hang of taking bigger steps. I was quite shocked because he already knew what to do, and how the left goes with right, and right goes with left. I learnt something new about little champ, he plays tennis. He talked about how his parents have him in tennis and how he practices throwing the ball with them all the time. He enjoyed throwing the ball back and forth, and was able to understand the concept of taking bigger steps. The golf game went well, I gave him little hints and advice, and he got the hang of it. He understood that the farther away the hoop, the harder you throw, and the closer the hoop, the lighter you throw. It felt good because I was able to teach him something, and have him understand the concept. I also learnt that little champ likes to take care of injured or dying worms. A group of his friends and him take care of worms that are dying or injured and make sure they are taken care of. It was so nice to see a young kid, be taking care of the environment and nature around him. Overall, this was a great day and I really enjoyed spending time with my buddy. 

Dragon Tails.. Part 2!

GUESS WHAT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN; WITH MORE INTENSENESS.


       Okay, this was lots if fun, but let's take a moment of silence because John was not part of it.. *crying inside.* We missed you lots John, and hope to see you again soon, Good luck with your studies. Bless. :)




       Alright so basically we played Dragon Tails, except... Day 1 Band vs Day 2 Band. That's right, we battled each other. 




       Now of course the rivalry between BBW's and Wildcat's had to somehow end so we could become a team together and do this. So we became one team.. but we didn't have a name..? It just wasn't happening and we couldn't find a name.. but then we realized something. Quoted from Nimrit, "We weren't a team. We were a Squad." We became a squad, and slayed everyone. Alright, this game was really fun and I personally have never enjoyed myself this much. Honestly, bless for having such amazing people in our class. Alright, so our defence was a little weak; our strategies weren't working. We tried to come up with some really crazy stuff but it like wasn't working.. and so we just tied it. We were good with offence like slay. At the end, it was tie, and then came the last round. If we were able to stop the other band we won, but if they got a cross it was a tie. Now of course, our inner souls were like um what? Did you say tie? Like equal? I don't think we're letting that happen. So we put all our efforts in.. and guess what? As I always say teamwork makes the dreamwork. WE WON YAS. Okay, so we won and there were some great celebrations. This was really fun, bless the other class; you're great people. Alright, so we ended this class off with fitness. We ran post to post, back and forth three times, and then got changed. The last part was hard, but hey; after that victory we were cool with it. I did pretty good with the laps, jogging back and forth each time, so bless. This gym class was very enjoyable and I would love to do this again, wish John was here to watch us though! Either way, let's just end this off by saying... bless. (: 

Blog Posts

Okay, after like I lost count how many tries my blog is finally not being annoying and working yay. Here's some advice; do not create more than two blogs on your blogger account, it screws up the whole thing. 

Either way here are all the posts I have written through these past months, weeks.. etc. Sorry for making you read so much :(

Speedball:
Our class has a new addition, a student teacher named John! John is so fun, and has such  great personality, he's quite funny and blends in with all the students. He's really good at soccer, because today when we were playing speedball he was really good at moving fast with the ball. Today's class was really fun and I personally really liked it, lots of scoring today. I was able to help score a couple goals and was running lots! It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of team spirit today, which was great. I have to say, everytime we play speed ball, everyone has this energy and positivity in them; this game brings out the inner wildness in us. I personally love when we play speedball, it really shows teamwork. 

 Dragon Tails:
Can we just take a minute for John's creativity in this game? We played a new game that was learnt today, called Dragon Tails. Dragon Tails is basically like football, but using humans. Does that sound a little odd? Don't worry, we weren't throwing people across the field. :) Basically you are split in too two teams. I had the honour of being on Team Wildcats; that's right. What team? WILDCATS. Don't even mess with us, I swear. This game was such a success. Everyone was cheering and has such great spirit and sportsmanship in them, it was such a great sight to see. I absolutely loved seeing everyone screaming and celebrating victory; this game just made everyone cheer and scream with joy. I think it's fair to thank Chris for being a great leader. Chris honestly did a great job and helped a lot. Chris was a wonderful team leader, and Wildcats really became a family. Of course in the end Wildcats won, and we were able to succeed in victory. I hope to play this again! 
What team? Wildcats.
What team? Wildcats.
What team? Wildcats.
Get your head in the game.
Wildcats >> everything.

Memory Pinnie Game:
Another one of John's amazing creative ideas. Can we just take a minute with the amazing game ideas? This game was kind of like a fun game mixed with fitness. It involved lots of teamwork, and again lots of cheering. John's game always have teamwork and cheers in them, which I personally feel is great. Okay, so basically there are four teams, each team is given a pinnie colour. The four teams were red, blue, yellow and green. My team was originally blue, but of course things happen, people don't listen and we got switched to red. Red is a great colour, still loved it as much. Either way, each team had their colour and four extra pinnies of that colour. Those four pinnies were hidden under different yoga mats. There were four rows of yoga mats with four in each section. Now, all the pinnies were hidden under yoga mats. Each team had to lift up a yoga mat and see if their team colour pinnie was there; if it was you take it, if not you don't. You need to memorize which ones you've checked so you don't go back to the same mat and waste time. The fitness aspect came after each round of the game and in each round. While Neuf and John hid the pinnies under the mats we had to run a lap around the school, or walk. That was the first aspect. The second one, was when you run to the mat of your choice you have to do a given exercise. Everytime you go to a mat, you do the exercise and then check under the mat. This game required a lot of team work because as a team you had to work towards memory and strategy. Our team did very well, we won! Despite, having some difficulties with pinnie colours, we still won with red. I liked this game and would love to play it again. :)  

Fitness By Choice: 
This was a different kind of fitness, you were able to choose what you wanted. There was pyramid, community run and Zumba. A couple band kids and I decided to do Zumba. This was honestly lots of fun and quite entertaining. It worked you out real good but gave you a good laugh. I was pretty tired by the end and had put a sweat on, so this did work you out quite a bit. It was hard to catch a long with some of the steps, as they were harder than they looked. Some steps also went by so fast, you couldn't catch them. We put on a good laugh though and has a great time. This fitness activity wasn't grand or anything, but it was enjoyable and did work you out to a good extent. 

Chariot Game:
This game was another masterpiece by John. I don't know how he comes up with such different and interesting ideas..? First off, let's just take a minute to realize we had to jump a fence. Okay, for next time; be safe when you're jumping fences. We had a couple people rip their pants. I think it's fair enough to say, as a PE class, we are going to take jumping fences classes. Basically you're in teams of 5, and have a hula hoop. Along with the hula hoop, 4 people get 1 pinnie each, and 1 person gets 2 pinnies (the driver.) My team consisted of, Pallvi, Anusha, Hardil, Peyton and I. This team was so fun to be with, we had a couple good laughs. We got a couple pinnies, but ours got taken a lot... :| We combined teams with another team, but then we stopped because that didn't work and there was too many people. This game was pretty fun and again lots of teamwork, cheering and screams involved. Teamwork was really the key to this game along with strategy. Even though there was ripped clothing, broken hula hoops, scratches, bruises and people falling over, this game was pretty fun, and I would like to play this again so we can make new strategies to win. :)

Dance Week:
Our favourite; dance week! Who doesn't love this, like god bless. So we were able to do two of the dance days; Jazz and Bhangra. We won/ dominated everyone both days because our class is just wow. I pretty much fail at Jazz, trust me I was trying. Either way, our class just has this amazing teamwork and energy as we get together. We danced it off, and won the battle. Now, let's move on to bhangra. Neuf is quite serious about these things, especially Bhangra. First off, hats off to Mr.Williams for beating all the teachers in the teacher battle. That was well deserved and let's just say, no one can beat Mr. Williams. Of course Neuf was  like amazing as always..? That isn't a shock, he has like super dance skills. Both band classes were combined for Bhangra and together, we dominated all, like SLAAY. The energy was great, and let;s just say band kids rock. Sullivan dancers are so amazing and put so much hard work and effort into teaching students, so thank you. It was a pleasure having you guys teach us, despite how annoying we can be.. :$ Dance week is always loads of fun, and I was so happy to have been able to be part of it with all band kids. :)
