1. How effective was your plan concerning the Eskimo Olympics? What worked? What didn't work? Would you do something different if you had the opportunity to do some of the sports again? 
2. How was your performance? Did you make your goal? How did you work with the other people in class? 

A part of my plan was very effective and it did some improvements. Practising and remember my high score from before was helpful. During the weekend when I was working out and spend a few minutes also practicing the seal jump. I got in the position and practiced jumping in that position. I didn't get to spend a lot of time on it but it still helped me today. I didn't feel as nervous and I managed to push myself to go further then I expected. I somehow kept on forgetting about keeping a score, so I guess that didn't work much. I remembered my high score but I didn't really note down anything. I also spent more time looking at pictures than videos, so maybe if I watched some youtube videos I would get a better look at it. 
If I had to do this again I would spend more time practicing and trying out more than only 3 of the sports. 

My performance went well and I wish I signed up for more sports. I worked well with the other people in the class but next time I think I should be more supportive. I think it would have been better if I stood there with others than going to and practicing. 

I had 2 goals: 

1 - beat my high score (700 cm) 
I don't know if I got to beat my high score because it didn't get measured but I know for sure I went really far. So I might have gone further than just 700 cm. I wasn't expecting to go so far. 

2 - When I feel like giving up, keep going at least a bit more. 
I actually achieved this goal and I am really happy. I wasn't getting tired but I kept on thinking I couldn't get far, so I was so close to collapsing. I stopped and then decided to carry on, until I really couldn't take it. I think stopping and breathing really helps. 

Starting of new unit! ***imo Olympics.

Today was the first P.E lesson in 2016! 

We have started with the new P.E unit and its...Eskimo Olympic Sport (?). It went way better than I expected and I really enjoyed it. I find it interesting to look into a sport from another culture. We had around 10 different activities that Dywer set for us. Most of them were without equipment apart from mats. I found most of the hard and requires practice, well everything does. My favourite one was the Seal Jump. It did hurt my knuckles and it the day after I was sore but I still enjoyed it. I managed to go far and I wasn't expecting it. I think it was a great workout. 

1. Make a plan for how you are going to get better at the sports you were introduced to for the Eskimo Olympics. What is your plan for improving your physical performance and health? Please explain. How effective is your plan going to be? Explain the challenges and how you are going to overcome these.
   
   
   I am planning on first looking at videos and doing some research on how they are performed correctly. I want to get a better look a them first. I will also be practicing at home and noting down how far I have come so I can improve. I also want to eat healthier, maybe. I will be setting goals and probably noting them down.
   
   
2. What do you learn about the Eskimo culture by playing their sports? What could someone learn about your culture from your sports?
   
   
   By playing their sports we can learn a lot about their skills and how they did their daily challenges, like hunting. We can learn about how they managed their lives and if the sport helped them, which they probably did. Like how here in Norway skiing is one thing that brings people together and how its apart of their routine.
