Skeletal System

For the past weeks 1101PE have been and are still studying about Anatomy and Bio-mechanics. There are many components to Anatomy and Bio-mechanics which are Bones & Muscles, Bio-mechanics, and Exercise Physiology. This week we learnt about Bones & Muscles, types of bones and the purpose of bones (our skeletal system). There are 4 types of bones in our body which are called Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones and the Irregular bones. An example for one of these is a Humerus which belongs to a Long Bone. The purpose of a long bone is it produces red blood cells for our body. Some roles for the skeletal system is our posture, movement, calcium storage, protection for our organs, and blood cell production. Something interesting I learnt during the lessons is that babies have more bones that us, that is why they are so fragile. Another interesting fact I learnt is that the front of your skeletal system is called Anterior, and the back of your skeletal system is called Posterior. This photo represents one of the ways we revised for each bone in our bodies. We were told to get equipment out of our sports shed and make our own skeleton. These are the bones, that we have learnt.

Futsal - R3

• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

We played Futsal. Futsal is similar to a normal game of Football/Soccer, except there are maximum 5 players per team and no boundaries. Futsal can be very tiring, but the amount of fun it creates distracts you from being tired.

• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria)

I give myself an achieved because I did certain things (good things) to get this grade. Some things were contributing to the team by taking up a role or functional performance (being goal-keep), being organised and prepared for the sport (having my gear), and being actively involved in the task (not sitting out of the game).

• What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation).

Environment -, Challenge +, Previous Experiences +

• Explain HOW these factors affected your participation (with specific examples)

Environment affected my participation in a negative way because we played in the rec with our bags. The rec was good to play with, it was just our bags that were in the way. Whenever we kicked the ball in its direction, the ball would land on them, making it hard for us to get the ball without using our hands.

Challenge affected my participation in a positive way because I've had past experience with football, but not Futsal. It was easy to get used to how there are no boundaries and less players in my team, but it was hard having to use my team mates without having to pass the ball all the way on the other side of the court, without making it hard for the players, due to the less amount of them.

Previous Experience affected my participation in a positive way because I know the basics of what is needed in a game of Futsal. It was also easy to defend and attack due to previous experiences of playing Futsal.

• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

I could increase their participation by using them to move closer to the goal. Also by allowing them to accept each other's mistakes, for example, passing it to the wrong person, letting our opponents getting a score. Perseverance will be the key to increase their participation.

Spikeball - R2

• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

Spike Ball is a game where Volleyball and Tchoukball are combined. The purpose of the game is to spike the ball onto a round trampoline and catch it before it touches the ground. If it isn't caught the point goes to your opposition. You 2 players per team, you can pass the ball to your team mate within 3 passes, just like a game of Volleyball.

• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria)

I give myself an achieved because the things I did during the game relate to the marking criteria. For example I showed 'Attempting to improve my level of participation' (learning how to pick up the ball with the hockey stick before we started the game), 'Contributing to the team by taking up a role or functional person' (being a guard for our team), 'Demonstrating skills related to the activity' (showing the basics of hockey when hitting the ball), 'Being organised and prepared for the activities' (bringing my gear for Spikeball).

• What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation).

Friends/Team-mates -, Previous Experiences -, Fun and Enjoyment +

• Explain HOW these factors affected your participation (with specific examples)

Friends/Team-mates affected my participation in a negative way because they weren't playing the actual game. They were doing their own thing shooting hoops. This affected my participation because I wasn't able to play and learn how to play. An example was when we versed Jayden and Ivan, they were messing around with the ball, shooting hoops instead.

Previous Experiences affected my participation in a negative way because I had no skills in this game what so ever. This affected me because I kept on asking questions to understand more. This wasted my playing time. An example was when we played our first game, but I didn't get to play because, I was too busy asking questions.

Fun and Enjoyment affected my participation in a positive way because it was new, but I accepted to learn how to play. This affected my participation because even though it was hard to latch on it was fun to pick up the rules and how it is played. An example was when we played Charday and Miss Dougherty, we all were learning but it still was a fun game when we played to the rules.

• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

To increase my participation in Spikeball is to learn how to play the game well, be fit, and also teach other's who don't know how to play, play. This will increase it because I will have at least some skills when playing, which is what I didn't have when playing this game.

Chop Sticks - R1

• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

Chop Sticks is a game similar to Capture the Flag. Instead of a flag/cone, we had to steal a hockey puck, and without picking up with our hands, we had to use two hockey sticks. To take the puck we had to pick the puck up like chop sticks (with our two hockey sticks) and go to our side of the court, without being tagged by the opponent.

• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria)

I give myself a Merit because I did things relating to the marking criteria such as I tried my best when this was a new game, I helped others out when they were stuck on something like how to hold onto the puck, working towards my goal by stealing at least 3 pucks on the other side, and being motivated when I set myself a goal to achieve.

• What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation).

Competition +, Fun/Enjoyment +, Well-being -

• Explain HOW these factors affected your participation (with specific examples)

Competition affected my participation in a positive way because the puck wasn't easy to get when attacking, it was challenging, which I like in games. An example of having Competition when I was attacking for the ball, but I got tagged by the opponent.

Fun/Enjoyment affected my participation in a positive way because the game wasn't boring, so it made me want to play. An example of having Fun/Enjoyment was when we laughed throughout the game.

Well-being affected my participation in a negative way because I was tired. I didn't want to play but I made myself play. An example of this was when I let the player get the puck, instead of tagging him.

• How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

To sleep early the night before, so I won't be tired for our practical. This will give a positive affect in my participation because I am wide awake instead of being drowsy and sleepy.

Being Adaptable

Being Adaptable in PE.

A strategy that I chose was being adaptable during class. This means to accept a change of plan and to manage myself throughout the change. I am going to apply this in my learning if my teacher changes her mind in what we are doing for class, for example, if we were told it is going to be a practical period but then is changed to a theory period, I will not be upset and slow to latch on to her decision in class. Getting on with my leftover work or continuing to play in practical is what I will do to be adaptable in PE.

SWOT Analysis

A SWOT Analysis identifies our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in different tasks. SWOT makes us look back on our progress and allows us to improve more in what we do.

Strengths:

• Getting my work done
• Bringing my gear
• Volleyball
• Mixing with the class during class time

Weaknesses:

• Encouraging others often
• Working for my goals
• Motivating myself
• Disagreeing with people who are wrong lol
• Getting angry haha

Opportunities:

• Miss Dougherty
• Listening in class
• Working diligently

Threats:

• YouTube
• Instagram
• Class members who don't listen lol
• Not coming to school
• Ivan's music

Self Management

• What is self-management?

To me, self-management is an instinct that us people have. It controls what we do and how we do it. It also means to me whether we can look after or manage ourselves when nobody is around. If I was to go off task while doing an important assessment, that wouldn't make me self-managed, due to me losing study time for a good cause. Some strategies you could do to be self managed is put away or hide what ever is distracting you and get on with your given task, this is called self control. Another strategy you could do to be more self-managed is not give up and let someone else finish your task for you, this is called resilience.
