Cluster 1 Reflection

1. What are your friendship strengths and challenges?

My friendship strengths are that I listen carefully to what others say and are responsible so I can motivate others to do what they are supposed to do. I also respect the fact that everyone has different ideas and perspectives and that none are wrong. A challenge that I have is being too quiet with my friends, only with my good friends to I actually open up. I need to showcase my ideas more and give my input. For the Pooh character test, I learnt that I am Eye-ore and are status quo. I need downtime to relax and clear my head and cannot work in a messy unorganised area.

2. Explain what you've learnt about the movement pattern(rotations) and concept(Tactics and Shots).

I have learnt about hip rotation and arm movement during our softball, badminton and tennis unit. I learnt this because for all sports you need to have the proper rotation to hit the ball far, or over the net. For example, in Tennis, you need to rotate you hips when you serve so that the ball goes crosscourt and use the proper arm movement so that the ball goes over the net with as much power as you can muster.

I have learnt about the concept during our cluster 1 units because for all three you need to think about the placement of the ball and where you want to aim it so that you have the best possible result. For example, in softball, you need to aim the ball into open space - where less people are, and away from first base so that you will not get out immediately and have a chance to score for your team.

3. What are 2 specific things you'd like to accomplish this year in P.E?
1 specific thing that I would like to accomplish this year in P.E is improving my mile run time as I really don't want my time to increase instead of decrease because that will not show improvement.

The second thing that I would like to accomplish this year in P.E is to grow and improve on my weak topics such as soccer and water polo, just like how I improved on badminton which used to be my worst unit/sport.

Elements of Design

Battling Softball Batting

1. What are two specific movements I am doing well while I am batting?
a) My feet are approximately shoulder width apart, parallel and facing base.
b) My hands are together on the bat. The hand which is the catcher is on top, the other closest to the back.

2. What are two specific movements I can work on?
a) Loads, (put weight on back leg), strides(picks up front foo or shifts weight to it) and swings through the zone.
b) Knees are loose, shoulders forward over base support.

Portfolio Theme Brainstorm

1. WHY you want this theme?

My theme is shops. I want this theme because it is something that we see in our daily lives but don't pay much attention too. We don't notice the layout or how pretty shops can look. I will mostly be shooting shops in Great World City as I go there often and will show the outside as well as the insides of shops. I think that shops have a lot of cool hidden secrets that we fail to see and I would like to capture that.
