Wheel chair basketball

In our P.E session, we played wheel chair basketball which is a game especially made for people with leg disabilities. At the beginning of the period, the game was explained to us by two professional wheel chair basketball players Mark and Mii who play for the New Zealand wheel breakers. The game was explained in depth about the rules and strategies that we could use after we learnt the rules and strategies we then practised them in the wheel chairs our class was built up evenly which meant that everyone had a wheel chair.

My level of engagement was an merit have chosen this grade because I think that my actions in the game were at an merit level as well as my teamwork participation, The grade merit that I have graded myself is based on participation and engagement at a medium level which I think that I did because throughout the lesson from start to finish I was engaged and put in 100% effort towards the sport that i never knew ow to play. The three key factors that influenced me were challenge, sense of achievement and fun and enjoyment.

Challenge this factor is a positive factor because the sport wheel chair basketball was very unfamiliar to me because I had never heard or played the game, But when the instructors talk to us about it, it sounded fun. When they gave us a turn I found it really complicated and challenging but later on i soon got the hang of it a example Is when did a shooting drill were we had to carry the ball to the hop a perform a shot this was hard because it was quite hard pushing a shooting at the same time.

My second factor is Sense of achievement, This factor is a positive factor and is extremely important in the role of wheel chair basket ball because when I learnt how to play a game of wheel chair basketball I felt a sense of achievement because I had just learn't how to play a game which I had no knowledge of. An example of a time when i felt a the sense of achievement while playing wheel chair basketball was when i shot a goal an the ball went into the hoop the was a huge excitement for me.

My final factor which I have chosen is fun and enjoyment which is a positive factor I have chosen this factor because throughout the time of playing and learning wheel chair basketball I enjoyed every second and I think that if wheel chair basketball wasn't fun then I wouldn't have tried as harder than I did, An example of my favourite thing about wheel chair basket ball is riding the wheel chair a manoeuvring through players

Childhood Games

In our P.E session today we played a variety of games the games we played were octopus, leap frog, four square, skipping and hopscotch these games were very familiar to all of us, my favourite game we played was octopus because it was fun and It was my favourite when I was little. When playing these game I think that my level of engagement was at merit level, I have chosen this grade because when playing these game I was engaged and focused throughout the lesson.

The three major factor that influenced me was fun and enjoyment, equipment and environment I have chosen these factor because I think that these factor had driven me to perform at a merit level,

Fun and enjoyment which is a positive factor, This factor Is the most influential factor because liking the game I was able to play by the rules and have fun because I enjoyed the game secondly equipment which is a negative factor, I have chosen this factor because when I first entered the rec I had no P.E gear and since it was an assessment this meant that it would affect my grade this making me try harder to make up for not bring the correct gear.

My final factor that I have chosen is environment which is a positive factor i have chosen this factor because since we were playing in the rec it wasn't so hot this meaning that I could play for a longer period of time without getting hot faster were if I was outside I would get hotter faster making me more tired and won't try harder than I would have in the rec.

Softball

Today for our p.e assessment we played softball. In softball the equipment that is needed are 4 bases, a softball bat, a softball and fielding gloves. In our class we were split into which played each other. In the game of softball each of the two teams have to bat the ball as far as they can, then running as fast as they can to each of the 4 bases, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base and home, If they mange to reach each base in order with out getting out a point is added to that team. Where the team which is fielding that have to either catch a ball on a full or tag a player with the ball, the team with the most points by the end wins.

My participation and engagement in the game softball was played at a merit level, i have graded myself at this level because I was engaged at all times and our team also won. there were many key factors that helped my participation and engagement increase which is fun and enjoyment, challenge and experience, i have chosen these three because were the most influential in my activity.

Fun and enjoyment i have chosen this factor because it influenced me to try harder, because the game softball is one of many of my favorite games and by the game being so fun influenced me to run faster and hit the ball harder, This is a positive factor because it increased my level engagement in a good way by increase my skills.

challenge this second factor motivated me to challenge myself and see if i could get a home run, this factor made me more focused with the pitch being thrown the challenge of hitting the ball made me focus more in trying to hit a home run, with the factor challenge of the pitch it made me succeed in being able to get a home run where as having an easy pitch the outcomes of the bat may be different.

Previous experience my final factor helped me with familiarisation with the rules and strategies which could help me in the game this was a huge factor because with all the previous experience that i had i was able say that i knew the rules and strategies involved with game of softball.
