Because of my injury I was unable to do any physical activities outdoors during this unit, and therefore could not cycle. This was bad news for me because it sounded really fun and I was really looking forwards to this unit. Anyways I got to hear from the others in class where they went, and also create my own cycling route.

 * May 2013 - Planning the PYP Sports Day**

This gymnastics unit was very different from the last one. This time we were allowed to be more free, this let us help each other out and teach each other new stuff. The assessment was the same as last time, we had to make a gymnastic sequence. I was allowed to do a gymnastic sequence together with the girls as last time, but I don't really work well with all of them and I thought of trying something new. But when it came to planning the assessment our group struggled, it was a mess and the sequence was difficult to remember and only parts of the group contributed to the planning and were incredibly easily distracted. We scrapped our first sequence, chose 5 rolls, 5 balances, 2 levels of flight and 2 equipment to use and mixed them together. This sequence was easy to remember but we had to change some parts on the day we were suppose to perform because we were missing one person. The sequence was delayed 1 month due to absence of group members and the easter holiday. But when we finished the planning the group memorised the sequence very well and we didn't really need a lot of practice but we used the time we had just in case. The music we, or Benny chose, was very inappropriate, but that was the only song we had with a beat. Otherwise the sequence went very well, even though we could have used less time planning the sequence.
 * 18. April 2013 - Gymnastics Unit 2**

In gym this semester we started with gymnastics, today we didn't do much. We practised the foreward roll, backwards roll, cartwheel and teddy bear roll, I find the teddy bear roll the most difficult one and also the wierdest one, but otherwise I have no struggles.

The last weeks we have been playing some table tennis! It's been loads of fun, so far we have been looking at different handgrips such as the pen grip & western grip, some rules, servings and different spins e.g backhand/forehand push & smash.
 * Oktober-November 2012**

We have finished the unit - synchronised cycling- and I thought it was very exciting, because it was very open and we could do whatever we wanted to. I thought the assessment was easy because my group had somewhere to start. The good thing was that we didn't stumble up in our video, that we remembered all the moves. The timing was perfect exactly between 1:30 & 2 min. Another thing was that we didn't crash, when we practised I sometimes crashed into Katharina because she was had to cycle slowly to not crash into Irene or Gunhild. But in the performance Katharina came a bit late into the circle so I had to cycle incredibly slowly before coming into the circle. I thought the group work went fantastic, we listened to each others ideas and we had no conflicts. We all contributed to the sequence, so it we all share the credit, we also got the sequence fairly quickly and we didn't waste our time. We were also supposed to wear the same colors and wear helmets, but we forgot it in the last second. But next time, if I were to do this again I would have included different types of speed, so it would be more entertaining, and maybe use more speed, but this was a bit hard because the music would be to weak, we had some lighting problems and we couldn't vary our speed so much because of the space and because of our own abilities.

Step one: we all stand in a cross, we lower our bikes twice. We take two steps back. Step two: everyone get on their bikes, Katharina and Mai Ve go past each other and each go on their own side of a line. Step three: Gunhild went around Irene and went next to Mai Ve. At the same time Irene went straight ahead and ended in-between Katharina and Mai Ve. Step four: Everyone get of their bikes. And take a 360˚ turn. Step five: everyone gets back on their bikes; Mai Ve goes around to the left, after that Irene went right, Gunhild left, Katharina right. Step six: everyone ends up in a line; Mai Ve, Irene, Katharina, and Gunhild.

Step nine: We get back on our bikes and everyone goes straight ahead, making Gunhild go through Mai Ve and Irene. Step ten: Katharina bikes in front of Gunhild, Mai Ve bikes in front of Irene, we form two straight lines and go into a cross. Step eleven: Mai Ve and Irene stops and wait for Katharina and Gunhild, Mai Ve bikes infront of Gunhild and Irene come after Gunhild.
 * Part 2**

Step twelve: We all go around in a circle twice. Step thirteen: Katharina leads us out in a straight line. Step fourteen: we lay down our bikes, Katharina and Gunhild lay them to their left while Mai Ve and Irene lay them on their right. Step fifteen: we are now on a straight line and we crouch down one by one. Step sixteen: Irene goes back up, with her arms in a 180˚ angle, Gunhild follows and puts her arms in a 90˚angle, then Mai Ve with her arms in a 45˚ angle and Katharina with her arms straight up. Step seventeen: we end by forming a line where Mai Ve stood Step eighteen: we take of our helmets and do a bow.
 * Part 3**

A new semester and the first unit this year is syncronised cycling, probably a wierd unit. But any way, in the last P.E. lessons I have been derping around on my bicycle with Katharina, Gunhild and Irene to come up with some cool moves for our assignment. So far we have come up with a few things, we are also going to add some music to our performance to make it a bit more interesting. We have been practicing some wierd stuff in the MYP playground, cycling around and past eachother. Katharina has also made a small plan so in the next lesson we are going to sit down and develop that plan.

MYP C

In March we have been doing a anew unit, fitness. We started the unit by doing the bleep test, which was harsh although I did not get very exhausted after I failed the third time. We then tested our agility, our reaction, vertical jump, push ups and sit ups to be able to compare the results with our results in a few weeks time. The week after we did some running outside and recorded our pulse, timing and RPE. The week after that we did some circuit training that we had put together ourselves. During these weeks we also received a booklet that has to be completed the 20th, in the booklet there were tables we have to fill, some theoretical questions, we also have to create a poster about fitness by the 20th.
 * March 2012**

This unit was a very good unit, I learnt new vocabulary about basketball that we did not learn the year before. I think I have improved since last year, we also did some activities that we have not done, which I find very effective. I have become better at shooting & aiming, but still I do make some fouls such as standing in the key to long and traveling. Also in my assessment I did some traveling, leading my team to lose the ball. Also I have to train more at aiming, dribbling and get used to do the wrist flick.
 * Reflection**

Katharina's set shot was very well. She did many things correct, but there is some parts she could improve. From the view point we learnt this was a very well done set shot, she did what was required, but she forgot to do the wrist flick and took of with the wrong leg, she needs to take up the opposite leg to help block the defensive team. She took the right amount of steps and to improve she could practice dribbling at the same time. And she starts close enough to the basket. Also she could try to stretch out her elbow when shooting and ry aiming at the square to get a better chance of getting the ball in the basket.
 * Set shot Analysis**

We have practiced the sequence since the 18th and it became quite good. We did some changes thorough out our training. But when we were performing it became a bit messy, we did not stand where we were suppose to and forgot what we were going to do all the time. If we got time to practice with the full space I think we would had became much better. But all our moves were well presented, not only me but from the whole group. Our teamwork in the group was good, we discussed our ideas and tried to help each other. In appreciate how much the others in the group tried to learn how to do things, especially Sharish, she had some problems in the start, but with some help from Gunhild, Katharina and I she was able to do many things which she did not dare to do before. The overall unit of gymnastics was very amusing, the unit was unique and creative. I am sure many other students liked it to. We learnt a lot of ways of traveling also some balances that I had never tried before.
 * Reflection - Gymnastics**

Today we did a set shot lay up so we can analyse it as a assessment, we also did a 3against 3 game.
 * Friday 10. February 2012**

We have started on a new unit called basketball. In todays lesson we have been training at aiming at the basket and doing the wrist flick when shooting a set-shot.
 * Friday 6. January 2012**

Today we have had an extra long PE lesson starting from 8 o'clock in the morning. We practiced the first 45 minutes and performed our assessment afterwards.
 * Friday 25. November 2011**

In our group, we have practiced our sequence and did some changes because it was to challenging. But it worked fine, we are hoping to get another practice session before school next friday so we can memorize our sequence and practice some things a bit more. I will also try to take some pictures of our performance.
 * Friday 18. November 2011**

Today in class we had discussed our assessment. For our assessment we are going to make a gymnastic sequence including 4 different types of rolls, 4 different balances and 2 different travellings. In a group, Katharina, Gunhild, Sharish and I, have made a rough plan of what our sequence will look like.
 * Friday 11. November 2011**

We have continued the unit about gymnastics by looking at different rolls and their supports. We specifically looked at the forward roll. But there are many other rolls like backwards roll, cartwheel, roundoff, handspring, flick, somersault, ect. Near the end of the lesson we look at our own counter balances. I tried doing the pyramid together with 5 other students, but the best was when I stood on top of Adrian's shoulders while Gunhild helped me by supporting my hands so I could stand straight.
 * Friday 28.October 2011**

We have started a new unit about gymnastics. Today in P.E. we have practiced backwards roll, forwards roll, headstands and some counterbalances, also the support for these exercises.
 * Friday 21.October 2011**


 * Gymnastics; cover sheet**

This unit was not the best unit, I thought it was a bit hard because we had to do the pulse racer every lesson. But still it can be helpful when we are doing a hard sport. For the assessment we had to work in groups creating our own pulse racer. I worked together with Youssef and Per Einar, which turned out very well. But off course we could had done something to improve. I think we could had held the first part a little longer, maybe be bit more creative and use more daily language.
 * Reflection - Warm ups**

In my own free time I do other sports, [|Gymnastics] and Nanbudo. But also in winter I go snowboarding, cross-country skiing, down hill skiing and indoor swimming. In the summer I do cycling, outdoor swimming and mountain walking. For the next summer I am going to learn water skiing and [|windsurfing].
