__**Cycling**__ **Hovet to Grønliskogen**

**Map:** Starting at (A), School, Down Deichmansgate, stopping at the forest (The map goes to the school) The trip takes ca. 15-20 minutes to get there, then some 10-15 minutes into the forest. Same the other way.

__What to do:__ There are many things to do in the forest; particularily this one. It is used by at least one school, and there are many campsites there, some of them stocked with firewood. It has an easy terrain, and is very open and airy. Many activities can be planned here, all depending on the site you choose and the size of your group.

__Reflection__ Overall, I think this has been a very nice unit. Although I'm not exactly the most athletic of people, I do enjoy a bike trip every now and then. The trips have all gone to enjoyable places, without being //too// murderous. However, the limitations of the sitouation of the school has been somewhat annoying. Besides that, though, there hasn't really been all that much negatives to this unit, and in the end, I've enjoyed it quite a bit, particularily the breakfast at Kattøya, and the trip to Mule Varde. However, I do believe that the unit could, at least, have been begun either earlier or later(In spring instead of autumn). My own trip was fairly successfull as well, I think. It lead where it should, was not too long, and left time for talking and a break in the middle. Overall, a successfull trip. I do wish that we would have had better time, and/or brought sausages and a minigrill, or used the firewood there. However, if we had made a fireplace or used a grill, we would also have had to wait for it to heat properly, meaning it would have been better suited for a whole-day trip instead. While it's cool to get to know these routes, I doubt that I'll use them later, seeing as I live far off from the school; I am more likely to only use Bjørkedalen despite how far off it is - simply because it's still closer than both Olavsberget and Mule Varde, as well as being an easier trip from my home.

__**Gymnastics**__

Sofie and Markus stand behind each other in preparation for being a supporting beam for Tollak’s flight. Mirre and June then log roll in at either side before they stand up, creating an arch with their arms. Simultaneously, Tollak then frog leaps over Sofie and Markus, forward-rolls and rises underneath the previously mentioned arch. Mirre and June then help Markus and Sofie doing a forward-roll to either side before Markus and Sofie teddy-bear roll so they face each other. By supporting their backs with their arms they then lift up their legs, straightening them in a 90 degree angle to the floor, assisted by June and Mirre. Meanwhile, Tollak does a backward-roll. Then everyone walks to the wall bars and Sofie climbs up before dropping herself into the other group members’, which have pairwise linked arms. After letting go, Mirre and June do half a butterfly on either side of Markus and Tollak who then carry Sofie. Markus and Tollak take a couple of steps forward before Sofie takes two continuous forward-rolls. The group members stand in two parallel lines and lift up their legs like Markus and Sofie did earlier. June, who is still standing then “pushes” the others down again. Then the group members went into a pyramid with Markus and Tollak at the bottom, Sofie standing at the top, with June and Mirre supporting her.
 * __ The sequence: __**

While the assignment started out promisingly, we were forced to include new people in the sequence fairly early on, as Anisha left to travel to India and thus could not practice the sequence. Instead, Mirre, Markus and Tollak joined our group, which gave us a greater range of possibilities when it came to the sequence. We had a good bit of ideas we wanted to be implemented, but we were very unfocused. This meant that we did not actually manage to begin practicing properly until the lesson we were supposed to perform it in. At one point, Sofie was ill, and we could therefore not practice that lesson. Once we actually performed the sequence, we needed two attempts, as we managed to screw up the first one. On the second attempt, though, we did manage the entire sequence.
 * __Evaluation:__**

Some problems that arose were: 1) Mirre didn't know how to do a forward roll, meaning we had to do a log roll instead, which took slightly more time and considerably more space. 2) Being as unfocused as we were, our performance was a lot poorer than it could have been

If we had been more focused, our performance might've been a lot better. Even though we managed it in the end, we could have worked a lot better as a team.

 * __Formation biking__**

While Mirre and I did practice beforehand, the final result ended up as a bit improvised ("Ta det på sparket" as its called in Norwegian). We were nervous, both because we had trouble remembering the sequence, and because the parking lot was slippery due to ice the Friday we performed our sequence. We decided in the first lesson that we would not use music, which I think was good, as we would not have to work the choreography around the music, or find music fitting the choreography. However, it may also have affected us negatively, as music might have helped us remember what we were supposed to do. We had to film twice, as there was a slight issue during the first attempt, but in the end I think it was good.
 * __Evaluation:__**

I think we have worked well as a team. We have listened to each other's opinions and ideas, and came to conclusions of what to add and what not to add together (An easy job seeing as we're only two people).

I really liked this unit. The reason is that we were given plenty of freedom to do what we wanted, and even if we forget something, we can use something else instead.

We divided into groups, in which I ended up together with Mirre (As always). At first, I was a bit worried that it would affect us negatively. However, it turns out that it it was good that we ended up as (the only) pair, as we quickly got the moves we wanted practised and put in sequence. (Pictures coming later)

Today we are working on reflections and our process journals, as mister Richard mistakenly thought that grade 10 wouldn't be in.
