Inquiry Term 3 - New Skill (Double-Dutch)

Hey there, Bloggers! For the past 4 weeks, Team 5 at P.E.S has been given a task to get into groups using the people in their classes, and find a new skill that they haven't learnt. I had 10 other people in my group. Their names were, Angels, Tata, Mata, Tehillah, Armanielle, Fetuao, Maree, Angel, Calais, Maryanne and myself, Atareita. Altogether, none of us had experienced the skill we were learning before. The skill that we chose was, "Double Dutch." We particularly chose to learn this skill because no one in our group had learnt it, and we found it challenging which was exactly what we wanted. So, that was the skill that we were meant to be learning for the past 4 weeks, and finally today was the day where everyone had to show off the new skill that they chose and learnt.

My Perspective:

Our groups performance was round about average. I controlled the ropes majority of the time, but yet I still tried my hardest to jump in between as well. That was the thing I found hardest. Jumping in between and timing it. I think that next time, I could try to practice more than I did in the past weeks. I could've tried harder and maybe then I would've made it longer jumping in between the ropes. To perfect our skill we tried to ask others if they had experienced it before but that didn't work so we moved on to using YouTube videos and tutorials which helped us majorly.

Positives of learning our new skill:

The positive side was learning something new and at least giving it a try. I was proud that everyone in our group had a go even when they didn't want to and even though they knew they couldn't do it. We found double dutch really fun which was a positive side of our new skill.

Negatives of learning our new skill:

I couldn't really point out anything negative about double dutch, because everyone had a go and we all had fun. No one found it boring, so I couldn't find anything negative about this new skill.

Perseverance:

I persevered when we performed and throughout the past 4 weeks by controlling the ropes when no one else wanted to and kept swinging them even though my arms were getting tired. I also tried my best to jump in between on time and I did my best to encourage everyone else in my group as well.

Move Ya' Body Workbook - #2

For the past 4 weeks we had to find a new skill that we had never done before.
My group decided to do, "Double Dutch." This was quite hard at first and still is.
But we tried our best and this is our workbook that we had for this skill.

Statistical Inquiry Wk 3

WALT: conduct a statistical inquiry.
On this presentation we did a bit of fitness/exercise in class and test our heart rate (bpm)
6 seconds by 10! We found our results pretty accurate.

Benefits of Physical Activity!

Benefits of "Physical Activity!"

Physical Activity is also known as Fitness or Exercise. And like everything else, you get benefits
out of being a regular exerciser. This means exercising on the daily, and committing to keeping
yourself healthy. Like I said before, benefits come out of it. Such as, getting fit, improving your body
image and you are able to do a lot more things than the average person can. Here are some benefits
that you can get out of becoming a regular exerciser!

#1. It Strengthens the Heart! - First of all, you may not know, but your heart is also a muscle.
Like any other muscles, exercise can strengthen them as a result in making you stronger and stronger.
This means that when you exercise, you’re muscles may get bigger and stronger each day.
Since the heart is also a muscle, fitness improves the hearts beating speed and keeps it strong and
healthy. Having a weak heart can lead, “Ischemic Cardiomyopathy” which occurs when your heart
becomes too weak to pump enough blood to the rest of your body due to coronary artery disease.
The blood vessels attached to the heart muscle narrow and eventually become blocked. Approximately
90% of people that are diagnosed with, “Ischemic Cardiomyopathy” aren’t able to live past a year.

#2. Reduces Risks of Deadly Diseases! - Fitness does a huge part when it comes to illnesses
and keeping your body healthy. On the inside! I say on the inside because some people think that it
only improves your body image, and how you look on the outside. But, no. It affects majorly on the
inside of your body. This means that some exercise could do damage but most exercise helps you
when you are sick or when you have failing body parts. Scientists haven’t found exactly what exercise
is needed but try anything and see if it works. Exercise helps to reduce the risk of developing heart
disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes.  

#3. Gives you a Longer n Happier Life! - Scientists believe that fitness has a big positive impact
on depression, anxiety and ADHD. It also boosts overall mood. The average person, is happy less
than 50% of the time, compared to exercisers which are happy most of their lifetime due to the kind of
different body-movements they may do during their lifetime.  Research on depression, anxiety and
exercise shows that the psychological and physical benefits of exercise can also help improve mood
and sleep as well as reduces stress and anxiety. Regular physical activity also lowers blood pressure,
burns body fat, and lowers blood sugar levels, all of which benefit heart health. The power of exercise
to help the heart cannot be understated. Regular exercisers have been proven to live at least 4 years
more than the normal age rate.

So, overall exercise is amazingly good for you! It helps you not only on the outside but on the inside
as well. Majorly! At first, I didn’t know so many good benefits that could come out of exercising until I
did a bit of research and, BOOM! Its amazing how the Internet can help you these days. Yeah, but
anyways, exercising is a major thing in everyone's lives and like I said before, keeping fit and healthy
leads to happiness. It also gives you options to be stuck on the couch or day playing fortnite these
days and stuffing your face, but you also have to option to get up, go for a walk/jog/run and have a
bit of exercise as well as enjoy your day! There are also gyms that are useful when you can’t workout
outside because of bad weather. So, today is your day! Your day to get off that couch and get up and
benefit not only you, but the people surrounding you. I was told that, “If you believe, then you can
achieve!” If you believe in yourself, than you can do anything you put your mind to. Today is YOUR day! All you have to do is...BELIEVE!

Angles

These are 3 different angles that I have learnt about in the past 2 weeks. Besides them, they have 

their names, degrees, and a picture of the angle. In the bottom corner, there is a description of what I have learnt about angles so far.

Definitions of, "Functions and For Loops!"

What is a "Function?" In Coding...a function is a type of routine. Which means it is a name for a set of commands telling someone or something to do whatever the function says. A function can be made up of different instructions that have been put together to complete a task or challenge. Functions are similar to routines. Like... a dance routine, morning routine or even a cleaning routine.  These are all functions in life, not only in coding and mathematics. Functions are also sort of like shortcuts. Instead of writing an entire line of code, you can just use functions that will do what you want.

What is a, "For Loop?" A For Loop is a sequence of instructions/commands that continuously happen as long as the loop tells it too. So... for example... If you get told to jump 3 times. That is a loop telling you to do the same thing over again 3 times in a row. Loops are not only in computer programming and coding, these such things can also be used to solve problems, complete challenges and can also help you in life.

So... Now you know what a function and a for loop is. Functions and For Loops are quite important to know about when you are interested in coding or computer programming. I hope that this has been helpful to those fellow bloggers interested in programming. Feel free to comment down below and give some feedback.
