I have actively participated in our class's activities all year long and put my best efforts into the class activities. For all the classes I have showed up on time with my strip, and without any unexcused absences. During both game days and fitness days I work hard to participate in the class activities; this gives me a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, and when I actively participate I can have fun too. Usually by the end of class I would have worked up a sweat from the activities and out of breath, because I push myself to participate as well as I could - for example, I keep running up and down the field to participate in Speedball, even though I could just choose to stay on one side and play simply offense or defense. I'm pretty skilled in most of the games we play; this is a combination of my eye-hand coordination, understanding of the game rules and method of play, and my efforts, which many of the times can make up for the skill level. On choice days I choose activities that interest me, and try my best to participate and do well in them. I would encourage my friends to participate in the same activities as me, but will not join or quit an activity just to follow my friends. I have collected evidence of my participation below, and for the participation section of the course I deserve the full 25%.

I have tried throughout the year to make active contributions to the class and participate with a positive energy, and I believe I have done well in this area. During classes I have often taken leadership by figuring out an activity to do for our class and organizing everyone into teams and setting the rules; I have helped to organize ultimate games in the upper field several times. Through organizing the games, I have learned many leadership and people skills, such as how to get a large group's attention, and deciding quickly on a game and taking in everyone's opinion at the same time. I feel I have improved my leadership abilities by a great deal through doing these things. As well, I have actively looked to be initiative and help out with setting up games and getting equipments, not only for our P.E. classes but also things like helping loading the ping pong tables for Dry Grad and helping Tony put the chairs away in the hub. I also constantly reminded myself to encourage others in fitness and games, and not to get frustrated and blame my teammates; I still have room to improve on in this area, but I feel I have made big progresses since the beginning of the year and developed some good teamworking skills. I had been honesty in competitions and fitness scores, doing my best but not lying about the results, because I know the goal is not to beat everyone else but to learn and improve my fitness and knowledge. Outside of school I have connected to the community through extracurricular activities and such, but didn't really do any volunteer work; this is something I look to improve on this summer and next year. Overall, I believe I deserve a 23% for the leadership and social responsibility part of the class.

My fitness level, as my results in the fitness tests show, have dropped from last year at the beginning of the year, the beep test going from 13 all the way down to 11. However, I have improved my beep test results back to 12, and the push-ups and body bridge times also improved by some. The drop was because of my lack of activity and exercise during the last summer vacation, and the difference of the results showed me the importance of regular exerting regularly to maintain and improve my fitness and health level. The main reason for my lack of exertion was my unwillingness to take time and go exercising; I have looked to improve this by joining the school badminton team and going with my family on the weekends to the recreation centers, having fun and at the same time exerting and improving my overall fitness. I can now do over 50 push-ups without stoping, which is a great improvement from last year's 25; other than that, I have a better endurance now than before and tires much less quickly in activities. I have learned in the course of this year - both in and out of school - some important knowledge about my body and fitness level. For example, I now know that my body can work at it's maximum capacity for about 45 seconds before "shutting down", and it is important to stretch before and after exercising to prevent injury. Through the constant activities, I also got to know my body's capabilities and limitations better, so that I have better control over when I get tired and when I might get injured. For diet choices my family and I try to have a balanced diet of the four food groups, drinking a cup of milk everyday and making sure we eat different colours of fruits and vegetables as well as meats. Also, we do our best to eat the three meals at a fixed time and avoid skipping meals. Getting enough sleep every night is also something I pay careful attention to. Because of these things, I have a health body that has no significant problems such as lack of nutrients. For the summer I aim to have at least 1 hour of exertion everyday, and work to improve my muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility. I will start with the upper body workout I found on Youtube for the weight room, and then go from there. I believe I have made good connections from the P.E. class to my regular health, and deserve 25% for healthy living.

For my blog (or digital portfolio) I have included over 30 posts, covering all aspects of the course and my healthy living outside of school. In these posts I have provided both video and picture evidence of my fitness experiences, and made reflections in most of the blogs about what I have done well and needs to improve on. I am missing a video of me working out in the weightroom, and I feel I could have including a bit more picture evidence of my participation in class; other than that, my blog is well constructed and reflects my learning and experiences in this course. I have also successfully summarizing all my learnings and reflections in this final post, and deserve a 22% for the blog.
Overall, I have done well in this course and deserve a 95%.

Semester End Report
Throughout the course of this semester, I have done very well on my participation and involvement in class activities. I have showed up on time every class and changed into gym strip, which I changed back to my regular clothing after class. During both regular classes and fitness days I have put a lot of effort into the activities, and worked hard to raise my heart rate and make the class a good exercise experience. During fitness days such as the pond run, locomotion, etc. I always pushed myself to do the exercises at the limit of my abilities, and fought through the exhaustion to actually do the exercise for the full 40 minutes. In choice days I would choose an activity that I was really interested in, then participate in it with the best of my skills and efforts and have fun at the same time.
In this semester I have learned to work better with my peers, especially in organizing activities on our own, without a teacher to direct us. For example, when we were doing ultimate and football in September 25th, it was the first time we had to organize ourselves as a class, and it took a while for us to actually organize the game. However, we did get the experience that would allow us to do it better next time, knowing that we should get everyone's attention and have one idea that we can improve on. Other than that, I have tried to take the initiative when class activities are being organized, like helping set up games, clean up the equipment used afterwards, etc. I also try my best to play as a team in sports and on choice days, passing to my teammates and encouraging them to be more involved. I have found that doing this really helps to keep everyone interested and maintain a positive atmosphere, and most of the time our team also play better as a result. In terms of community service and volunteering I have not done much, but I am looking for opportunities in and out of school and hopefully I will be able to make more contributions next semester.
I pride myself in having a balanced diet, and try to eat foods from all four food groups for every meal; also I avoid missing meals and try to have a fixed time for each meal (breakfast at around 8 to 9, lunch around 12 to 1, and dinner around 6 to 7).
As for my fitness, my score on the beep test this semester had started lower compared to last year - 12, 11, and 12.3 for the most recent one. My fitness level had gone down over the summer due to lack of exercise, and did not improve much in the first two months of this semester also because I didn't do any extracurricular activities. However, I have started going to the YMCA on Fridays for basketball from December, and tried to do more exercises on my spare time, such as jogging, swimming, and just going outside for a walk or to run around. As a result, my fitness level have been improving by small margins, which is reflected by my fitness test results Friday compared to 2 months ago. Looking at my fitness scores, I would say my endurance level is the strongest, and I could really work to improve my balancing and core strength; I'm confident that with more exercise, my balance board, push-ups, and body bridge results can all improve by quite a bit.
For next semester, I plan to try and have a fixed exercise routine, doing at least 100 push-ups a day or jogging for half an hour to improve my fitness level. Other than that, I will attempt to participate in more sports activities, such as basketball during lunch and on Friday nights at YMCA. I will also be looking to join the badminton team in the spring. My goal is to reach 13 on the beep test and be able to do 35 push-ups without stopping by the end of this school year.
For my digital portfolio, I have not done very much this semester on blog posting and providing pictures and videos as evidence for my participation and learning. I will be looking to make more posts and really connect and relate my in and out of school activities to the blog, and provide more evidence to reflect my overall health and learning. Also I have not paid too much attention to my classmates' blogs, and I will be looking to comment on their blogs to help the whole class and myself further our understandings on all aspects of our healthy living.
In summary, I believe I have done well on my participation and contributions to the class, but can further improve my health living habits and put more efforts into the digital portfolio. For this semester, I will give myself a 80%.

November 4th, Fitness Test - Interim Report
These are the results of my fitness test, which is also the test for my interim report:
Beep test: 11.0
Jump: 50cm
Push-ups (without stopping): 23
Body Bridge: 90s
T-test: 11.14s
Balancing Board: 12 touches
Sit-and-reach: level 5
Over all, I think my fitness level is not as good as it had been last school year. Compare to the first test at the beginning of this semester, my test results have improved a little, with the exception of the beep test, which was 12.0. My poorer results may have partly been because of our band practices taking up the P.E classes; I need to exercise more on my spare time in order to improve my body's fitness level.
My goal in this school year is to more actively participate in sports and do more exercises like jogging or weightroom workouts. I hope I can get to a beep test score of 13.5 or 14 by the end of the year, and be able to do at least 40 push-ups without stopping. Wish me luck!
