For the past 14 weeks, we have been doing Mind, Body and Soul. In the mind rotations, my favourite thing was meditation because it was really relaxing. In the body rotations, my favourite rotation was sences because we got to taste a marshmellow and fairy floss, which was really yummy. In the soul rotations, my favourite rotation was yoga because I could stretch out all of my muscels.
For my negotiated task I will do 2 posters on Libby Trickett and one on Stephanie Rice. It will be about what their diet is and what their training schedule is. I will print off a picture of a person with the muscles inside it and highlight the muscles you use in swimming and branch off what the muscles are. I will also write some recipes that Libby Trickett and Stephanie Rice use. So far for my negotiated task I’ve done 2 posters, one on LIbby Trickett and the other on Stephanie Rice. I’ve also done the person with the muscles inside the body.
I have learnt that Stephanie Rice has a protein shake after the gym, so her body can recover and re-build. I have learnt that Libby Trickett has poridge or muesli with yoghurt for breakfast so it keeps her going for the day and so she stays healthy. I also learnt Stephanie Rice trains 5 hours a day, 40 hours week and Stephanie Rice trains 6 hours a day and 42 hours a week.
I now need to write the recipes. I have already found one recipe which are a ham and salad sandwiches. I need to find out how Libby Trickett makes her pasta. I need to make the recipes and if I have enough time I will need to print off pictures and stick them on a poster.
I have been wondering what muscels are used. I have been wondering how Stephanie Rice makes her protein shake. I have been wondering what there training schedule is.
Big idea-Term 3
For the past 9 weeks we have done a new negotiated task proposal. The topic is geography, history and economics. Overall it’s to do with the Olympics. For history I made a board game. Its to do with the history Olympics because I’ve chosen sports from the ancient Olympics and I wrote cards that have questions from the ancient Olympics. For geography I drew a map of london and wrote what years the Olympics have been held in London. I also made a grid and asked questions on cards about the different sports. For economics I made two cubes and I wrote how much money swimmers pay a year and how much money people who do archery pay a year. During these nine weeks I learnt how much swimmers pay a year and how much people who do archery pay a year. I learnt what sports were in the ancient Olympics and I learnt what years London have held the Olympics. I have been wondering what equipment you need in archery. I have been wondering what years London have held the Olympics.
