Basketball Reflection




In this basketball unit, I learned lots of variety of skills from my mentor (Daniel P). We played basketball with our class mates to learn more about new skills. I learned how to dribble and how to shot the ball properly by my mentor. We shot the ball in many different places but we first shot in same place so we can learn better to shot.

My mentor who is Daniel P, thought me about dribble and my right shooting positon. It really helped me to learn basketball by communicating with mentor because my mentor knew how to play before. Important thing is that I developed on hand shooting position because when I don't know how to put my hand properly to shoot, otherwise I cannot able to play basketball properly.

Climbing Reflection


After our P.E class finished climbing unit, I have been improve my climbing skills because I knew that the equipment and my partners can make be safe which makes me comfortable and learn more about climbing. The most important equipment that made me relax is harness, carabiner and lots of daisy chains because they made me stop falling when I abundantly fall down from the rocks. My belayer and assistant belayer's are trustful because they are the person who watch me and communicating which rock do I go to.

Steps Must Be Done Before Climbing
1. Climber, belayer and assistant must wear his or her harness.
2. Climber must wear helmet so they can protect their head.
3. Make the rope straight so it is easy to v-sit later when climber reach to top.
4. Climber have to make 'double 8 knot' to connect climber's harness
5. Belayer's also have to make 'figure 8 knot' to connect belayer's gris gris
6. Order to connect the rope and harness or gris gris, you should use carabiner.
7. Before you connect 'figure 8 knot' with gris gris, you should check by try to shoot the bird face (gris gris)
7. Check it's lock or not.
8. After you done everything, double check with Ms.Palko
9. After checking, climber have to say 'On Belay' and then belayer have to say 'Belay On'
10. Order to belay properly, you should pull the rope, reach, cross and you should do it again and again until climber reach top
11. After climber reach top of the wall, you should check by teacher and make climber v sit
12. Climber have to rappel and abseil to make himself safe to go down.
