The Marshmallow Challenge…..

by 100069 on February 28, 2013

Today, wait no… 15 minutes ago we did….. The marshmallow challenge…. *spooky music* *stifled screams*. We had a piece of rope, 20 pieces of spaghetti, uncooked, some duct tape, and.,.,.,., a marshmallow. *lightning flashes outside the cobweb filled dark window while rain falls in wild torrents, the windows creak open, small figure jumps in, it is, it is…… A MARSHMALLOW!* *stifled screams*. We had to then make a structure that was free-standing in 11 minutes. To be free-standing in this case was where it could stay upright/holding together without “us” holding it up. The contest was to make it to be the tallest. Ours was really tall, but when there was 15 seconds left we put the marshmallow on the top of the “structure” and the flimsy excuse for a “structure” ‘s ”structurally” dry spaghetti snapped. 

That was our “We-were’nt-allowed-to-eat-our-marshmallows-at-the-end-but-we-did-anyway” challenge. JUST JOKING!!!! BWAH-BWAH-BWAH-BWAH-BWAH!

P.E; What sportsmanship looks like

by 100069 on February 6, 2013

Wasup, Dudes?! This article was requested by our P.E. teacher, requested to finish and then pøstë it. So here it is!!!

What does sportsmanship mean to you/look like to you? Give some examples.

Sportsmanship looks like….

People getting along and passing to each other, no one is left out in the cold. Nobody complains or makes up excuses when they lose.

Why is it important to follow the rules of a game? It is important to follow the rules of games because…. If you don’t then even when you finally do make a goal then you might have to either; not count it as you stepped in the crease or the point doesn’t really matter because the other team is already so far ahead of you.

Why are good team strategies important to success in team games? Give examples of strategies for team handball? Fake a pass, them pass it to another teammate or you can take three steps throw to a team mate, then get them to pass it back, take three steps and then pretend to throw it to them and then throw it into the goal.

What is a strategy you/your team used in “Capture the Flag” to be more successful? Others distract while a couple of people either try to go and get the balls, which will usually create a distraction that causes the others to have a chance to get the caught ones out of jail.

Team strategies are important because…. The other team doesn’t know your tactics and then you could fool them into thinking you’re doing one thing while really you’re doing the opposite

How would you create and/or deny space in team handball?

You create space by… Moving away from the game and in the process not bumping into others and giving your teammate who has the ball options to pass to.      

You deny space by…. Moving in on the person who has the ball and in the process stopping them from passing the ball to their team and blocking the ball
