Tuesday 8th October:
There was no class today because we went on our French trip to the Nuclear PowerPlant.
Thursday 10th October:
today we only had 10 mins of class because we had school photos. In that 10 mins we discussed turnitin which helped us to see our referencing and stuff. I was a low percentage so I need to makesure i reference things properly but I am happy that it wasn't over.
Friday 11th October:
We began the lesson with a relaxation exercise because we were a little hyper from the quiz last night but also super tired.
We have done this relaxation exercise a few times before so we know exactly how it works and it always helps us to relax. We then did another exercise that required a lot of focus so it helped doing the relaxing exercise beforehand. This exercise was about "sensing" eachother. We stood away from our partner but facing eachother. We had to close our eyes and walk towards our partner and join hands without banging into the our pair doing the same but across us. It was more difficult that what it seemed. I thought technique first would be good by keeping to the straight line and listening our for footsteps but after i tried it without technique and didn't think about it. I just walked and I got Abby's hands. I felt like i knew how she was walking and how fast she was going.
We then did my pilates which i had planned. It was just short but I would help everyone to understand how Pilates can connect with Zen. Yoga is more zen and Pilates is more exercise ubt there is still aspects of Zen in pilates. I think most people found it difficult doing the moves and I think the whole class needed the right clothes, music and much more concentration. It did help bring the energy up and concentration level for the next exercise though.
We went outside and Mr Fearnehough was holding balloons which scares me. We had to keep one balloon in the air firstly and makesure it didn't touch the ground. This was an easy task for us so we stopped in the end but we all got into it very much haha.
Next we upgraded to going into a circle and throwing a balloon to someone which had water inside. We weren't that bad at it so we made the circle bigger, in the end Abby threw he balloon and I caught it too hard and it burst all over me. (it had to be me)
We had to have trust in everyone that was throwing the balloon but we also had to focus on how we were catching it and our skills. I know that Abby fekt like it was her fault the balloon burst on me but I don't think it was, and even if it was, It doesn't matter because i trust that she wouldn't have done it on purpose.
We did a partner back massage. This was standing up and I was with Abby. It was like the one we didn lying down but we were standing up. I first did it to Abby and I had to be careful of her back which was bruised but I think I did a good job of it. I found that when I was giving the massage, i felt in control but I had to be aware of the other person. I was happy to have a massage in return because I love them and it was a really relaxing massage. I think Abby did a very good job of doing it and she was also very kind t my back and I trusted her a lot when iving me the massage.
The last exercise we did was a little narrative. Axel was the narrator and me, abby and bekki were joined with the sticks and had to perform what Axel said in his story. We had five minutes to practise and then we performed it infront of Mr Fearnehough.
He said that our work was really good for 5 minutes but obviously it wasn't going to be perfect. We communicated well together in this exercise and really listened to eachother especially Axel the narrator. We sensed what was going on around us and this really helped us to work together. s
