=**Reflection Warm Up Unit**=

In this unit, we learnt how important it is to warm up and not just get to it. We also learnt how to work in groups and the importance of teamwork. The importance of warming up is that it prepares the body both mentally and physically to the physical activities. It is also important in corr**elation to health as the bones of the body needs to be stretched slightly before the activity. There are chances of broken bones and muscular damages if you do not do a proper warm-up before the activity.

When we entered our group, which consisted of Markus, Floyd and Myself, we decided to a funny but interesting warmup which was not the old boring "run as fast as you can" warm ups. We chose basketball and we divided tasks.

At the end, we felt happy because we got good grades and were of course happy with that. Everyone did their part of the job very well

= = =**Reflection: PE Cycling Unit.**= This unit was mostly related to Criterion B in the Pe Guide: Movement Composition. Mr Richard originally wanted every student to fly planes and make these moves they do on special occasions such as national events. Because of economical reasons, we decided not to. We therefore wanted to do something similar with bikes and try to make a performance with bikes in groups. We were asked to do a small performance within a specified area with bikes and we were free to use our imagination. Mr Richard did not give us any paper or rules to follow except a copy of the PE criteria. This made it more open for us as we had to use our imagination. Our group consisted of Floyd, Piotr, Andreas, Roman and Simen. We wanted to do a combination of different sequences. We therefore began to see what we could do within a small area and we used the lines at the parking lot as measuring points. This helped us a lot especially when it came to co-ordination.

Overall, the presentation worked well. The reason was that we met the time frame. Some of this was due to a genious invention made by us which we call the «TO EN Pang!» method. This worked by saying «TO EN Pang!» repeatedly and it helped us keeping the rythm and timeframe. We also agreed on that the sequence worked well for everybody in the team. This was due to good teamwork and collaboration. The sequence was also our own idea with no copying or inspiration. We liked that because we were proud at the end to have accomplished this routine al by ourselves.

Some of the things we could have done better was to focus more on the very small area we were given because we sometimes went over the limits which destroyed it a little. Also, one member of our group, Piotr, was absent the performing day and the week before which destroyed some of our routine. Also, during the performance, we were not aware of how much time we used other than a rough idea. It turned out that we managed to do what we wanted to within the timeframe. We all had a minor stage fright as well which made us nervous. There are so many things that could have gone wrong on a bike but we accomplished the task very well at the end.

Overall, I think we were all happy about what happened and how it came out in the end. We also felt that we used the proceeding practice lessons well. We therefore felt satisfied at the end despite the missing team member.

Reflection Gymnastics Unit.
The Unit gymnastics focused mostly on Movement Composition and our performing skills. We all joined a group and we set of trying to make a routine or a performance demonstrating our skills in gymnastics. One go the first challenges we encountered was the diversity of ability levels. I was nowhere near to a professional and thus the group we started off with was not too happy having me on the team. There were certain skills that was expected in the routine which I had never learnt or tried. Unfortunately, there were certain events that occurred during our practice time which conflicted with the time management. In the end, it turned out that I could fill the position/role in a group where a member was missing. Therefore, I got a place in the play. The performance went better than I expected but probably much worse than the other group members expected. Some of the factors which led up to the quality of the performance was that I was only a substitute, I was unprofessional and "bad" in that field, I let the group down and therefore led to some nervous minds in the group, I was afraid that my low level of ability would affect the others and a general haste in the group.

Because of my low level of ability, I really had to step out of my comfort zone to do this performance. Perhaps I didn't go much further with the skill ability this unit, but this was a big step when it comes to attire in PE and considering the Area Of Interaction: Approaches to learning, which deals with ways you learn, and the learner profile Risk Taker. Even though I looked really horrible in the lessons, I can definitely see room for Improvement. not only in P.E. but also in other areas where I might need to take a risk and look horrible to manage a task.

During the last weeks, there has ben some things going on which has conflicted with PE and it has conflicted to a so great level that it has affected my grades. I have been scared and nervous lately that the perception and interpretation of my actions the last weeks has been misunderstood. I try, and I will keep a positive attitude towards PE even though my behavior may have seemed like I have burnt the wrong bridges, metaphorically speaking.

I am still afraid that what I have done can affect the others grades, and I would rather fail in PE than to steal someone else's efforts and abilities. I guess that is a sacrifice I as a grown up need to take.
