Optionals

Food and sports 10.3.2011

We started in the gym where we have absolved a couple of  physical tests. First one was testing our minimum hearth beat after a relax time. Next one is called step test and we had to do keep stepping on the banch (up and down) as longest as possible. The last one also was the hardest one. Common name is „Leger test“. You just have to run as longest as possible from wall to wall and you have to make this distanse in a time limit stated by computer. Time limit is periodicaly shortened. It showes your athletic abilities (especialy oxidative and unoxidative endurance) but also the power of will. After every excercise we received number which shows how fit you really are in a different ability.

Next part of subject was about food. We finished our plans and recipes for the dinner according to the New Nordic diet programme. Each of those groups has prepared special recipe. You can take a look on the whole recipe booklet!!

Optional physical education with Martin 7.3.2011

We have had a greate oppourtunity to taste how the danish p. e. students work like!

The lesson consisted of worm up part, main part, student performances and the slow down part. During worm up we were playing a few games in purpose to get red and well prepared for the next activities. The main part started by building the let’s say „monkey lane“ . When it was done, we just went throug it in many ways. Everyone for his own, in teams or all together. Just lot of varieties and it was horribly funny! The greatest thing about this was an equipment. We don’t even have a half of those materials which make p. e. much more interesting. Especialy the gymnastic air belt. Really usefull thing. Next part belonged to the students. Their task from erlier class obviously was to think about the animal movements subscribed in the document they’ve been given. Afterwords we all tried to do it in their way and later in the correct way according to the video. Lot of fun.

The last part was just relaxing and stretching. Tak for it! Very good experience!

Drama class with Fleming 11.3.2011

                Fortunately we have met Fleming in Abenra!

We didn’t know what to expect from this lesson because we have never tried this before. But now we can say that it was so perfect and we were enjoying every single minute with Fleming.

At first we went throug introduction and we also have been informed about the area we were and about Flemings activities. Thank we had warm up part which meant playing a couple of funny games. Chase and catch, fox and rabbit, bomb and shiels and so on. The purpose was to get rid of shyness and nervosity and, man, it worked! :-) After that we have made a circle and tried to play with the implulse. Hard to explain..have to try..:-) it was about hand claping in the different ways, eye contact. But the greatest circle activity was sending imaginative object. Heavy and light. First time of acting. Also interesting activity were working with statues and live scenes. The live scenes were based on themes. Our groups task was to make „beautiful“ and „ugly“. The other group had to guess what that scenes mean and they could recognize it! Yes!:-)

The final activity, to which the whole lesson had aimed, was „from image to play“. We have been shown the image of girl and in the group we made a play according to the feelings and the music surroundings arround us. Really interesting. Both groups worked wery well and seriously - thumbs up – and all of us were enjoying the class a lot. Big applaus belongs to Fleming!!!!! He has got us for the activities. At home we say: „If you want to light the fire in the others, you have to already burn!“.

Fleming, we could see that! :-)
