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. :)
