Final Sport Science Blog

 What tests did we do? To test our power we did a standing vertical jump, to test muscular endurance we did a plank, for speed we did a timed 30 metre sprint, for flexability we tried to touch our toes, for agility we did a agility course, for strength we saw how long we could hang from a bar, for coordination we threw a ball at a wall with one hand and caught it with the other for seconds, for balance we saw how long we could stand on our toes on one foot, for cardiovascular endurance we did the beep test, and for reaction time we had someone else drop a ruler and we then saw how fast we could catch it.

What were you trying to improve? The things I was trying to improve the most were power and coordination. 

How did you improve those skills? To improve these I did squats for power, and catching with a partner for coordination.

Did you improve on any skills? I did improve on strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, coordination, reaction time, speed, power, and balance.

Why do you think you improved on those skills? I think that I improved on those skills beacuse I practiced them all during the practices so I could improve.

Which skills do you want to spend more time improving on and how are you going to improve? I would like to improve more on my power and I will do this by doing squats everyday to try and improve.

Market Day

What did market day get you to do? Market day got me to budget for our group, write a letter applying for finance, and make decisions on what could earn me more profit. 

What were your learnings? I learnt how to budget easily, make a bigger profit, and apply for finance.

How important were decisions that you made? Some of the decisions that we made were very important, like changing what to package our product in, making us able to sell more product and earn a bigger profit.

Do you believe your group was successful? I believe that my group was very successful in market day, because we sold out and made a good profit.

Do you believe you held up the values of HHS? I believe that I did hold up the value of HHS during market day, because when at my stall I was kind and respectful to everyone, andthen while looking at other stalls I was respectful to the people selling their products.

Balance

 What is the human balance system? The human balance system is a combination of your brain, muscles, and a small system in your inner ear.

What are some techniques you can do to improve your balance? You can stand on one leg and close your eyes, look side to side fast for 30 seconds, you can try to balance with your eyes closed.

Why do some people feel dizzy after spinning around? Because there is a small amount of liquid in each ear that tells your brain about balance, and they still spin after you finish spinning.

Lawyer paragraph about romans

 The romans changed the way we constructed buildings by inventing concrete.

The romans have made life easier for us by inventing concrete, because it makes it easier to keep buildings together, while making it stribger. The way they moved concrete also made it easier to get concrete around.

Evidence of this is the strength of buildings that have concrete, compared to the buildings that don't have concrete insisde of them. Concrete is really strong and strengthens buildings that use it. Concrete also makes it faster to keep parts together rather than using other stuff such as dry mud.

The romans have made life now much easier by inventing concrete.

The gladiator games advertisement

 Recently in social studies we have been learning about ancient rome and what they have done for the future/invented. The romans invented many things like aquaducts and concrete but the biggest thing they are known for is the gladiator games. We had to then make an advertisement for the gladiator games and here is my work. 

Gymnastics in PE

 For the oast 4 weeks we have been doing gymnastics in PE. We have been using 6 apparatus - bar, beam, parralel bars, mini tramp, floor/mat and trampoline.

One challenge for me was the lower arm walk on the parralel bars because it was harder than I expected.

One achievement for me was being able to land a flip on the mini tramp.
