What was the event? This unit was about sequences. I was in the group of Simen, Andreas S, Piotr & Roman. We made a cycling sequence with different combinations and styles.

What was I expecting to learn? I saw forward to learn alot about different sequences and exmaples of them. I was also expecting to learn how to do a wheelie...

What have I learned? Our PE teacher, Mr. Richard, showed us different examples of groups doing some sort of sequences. This might have helped our group when trying to discover new sequences.

What is significant about this learning for me? This learning made us think "out of the box" when creating our sequences. We had a broader and wider perspective of it to create creative sequences.

How does this learning link to the competencies for my future? It is hard to try to involve this unit into the working life unless you work at a circus or other related jobs. This can also be useful in sequence swimming.

What were my feelings about what happened? I personally dont really think it went well the last time we did it in front of the camera. The reason for this is because our group does not feel comfertable in front of the camera.

What went well? I also think that we were quiet successful because we were able to fill our sequence with as combinations as possible within our timeframe.

What didn’t go so well? To perform in front of the camera, I am just too afraid of making a mistake. I try to focus that much that I do something wrong. Very annoying.

What were the feelings of others involved? We as a group made it logical for all of us to do what we were supposed to do. An imprtant factor was that we had beats when doing our sequence (e.g. 1,2,3,pang!)

What evidence do you have? This is how we started out in the beginning our our sequence (Piotr is absent, Simen took the picture)

I enjoyed the whole unit. I think it was very nice to be able to make a sequence with bikes. I also think that we were successful, although it could have been better if it was not perfomed infront of a camera. Or, if i did not know that we were being captured on film. -- Gymnastics

What was the unit about?
Our unit was about gymnastics. This is where Andras, Simen, Sander, Piotr, Andreas, Roman and I had to work together in a team. We managed to do the required amount of “positions”. These positions were 5 rolls, 5 travels and 2 counter balances.

What have I learned from this unit?
I learned a lot of moves and postures within gymnastics. These moves were ranging from rolls, travels and counter balances. I thought that this assignment would be easy to perform. But I was wrong, it’s rather hard to stay in these counter-balance-positions for long and it requires a good amount of strength. I also learned that gymnastics is a “sport”, and many people are practicing this type of exercise.

Why is gymnastics important for me?
I consider gymnastics to be a very big branch of PE. I think that this type of physical exercise requires knowledge and technique, which PE is all about. And if I were to become some sort of enthusiast or instructor, I would consider knowledge within gymnastics to be essential.

What went well during this unit?
Almost everything went well during our practices for the final show of our gymnastic sequence. All of us were able to do most of the moves, ranging from jumping over each other to rolling.

What didn’t go so well during this unit?
Not all of us were pleased or comfortable by doing the “wagon-wheel”, Although Roman and I were able to do these “wagon-wheels”. We chose however not to have this move as a part of our gymnastic sequence. This is because it was not necessary.

What could have been improved upon?
I think that our timing. A good example of this is for example when I was going to jump in-between my other team mates. This is when some of the team mates reacted too slowly. We could also improve upon using the area we had within the camera. This could for example be to limit the distance of my jumps. I also think that some did more than others, and was therefore more physically challenged (aiming towards me). I think it would be better to let other team mates have a go in the “spotlight”, and do something special.

What were the feelings involved?
Not everybody in our group was comfortable by doing certain moves and postures within gymnastics; I think that this can be because of other people’s physical condition. We all had different ideas to add to our sequence, but we concluded not to do so, because it is not necessary if we already have fulfilled the requirements.
