Hurumanu 7 : P.E - Table tennis and Juggling

For three of the weeks that we have spent this term on P.E; we have currently been doing coordination practice as well as table tennis. There were tasks for each of the activities, for juggling/coordination practice. We first started to use scarves and use one of our hands to juggle the two scarves until we have reached a score of 10. The next task for the same activity, using the same equipment we then added an additional scarf; three scarves now using both hands. Likewise, we had to achieve a score which is the 10 as well. Further tasks were included in the juggling, moving forward the next task was looking at doing the exact juggle, yet, using balls. Again first with one hand then the next with another.


Further tasks were presented, as mentioned not so long ago; we also had a choice of doing the activity which is table tennis. Previous to playing the game, we were given and explained with the rules. Before long we began to play, with only being introduced to the game, we did not yet start at a goal. However, in the following sessions, we were then presented with looking at playing by ourselves; the task being able to spar with a wall up to again, a score of 10. After being achieved the goal, moving on, was looking at sparring with now a partner. But this time the score was raised to 20. More sessions followed, teachers then challenged us to see up to how much we can spar non stop with a partner. (We reached 46).

Both of the activities that we have been given the choice into were not of my norm. I have not tried to do much of them before, however, these following weeks have given and taught me skills. Steadily I improved. They pose--the juggling especially-- a challenge that needed much resilience. Constantly I got better, which proved that practice makes you better.
Concluding this experience [that is still ongoing]; I felt that doing these practices and looking at new experiences has taught me more than just only the game. It has also taught me about being more resilient, practising and trying new experiences. This has been an insightful experience, and I am looking forward to further pursuing more about this topic/s.
