Just dance, Table Tennis & Juggling

In PE we have been doing some Table Tennis and Juggling but last week our teacher Mr Hilliard said we could do Just Dance if we wanted. A few others and I did Just Dance last week. Some of the dances we did were Rasputin, Vodovorot, Kill this Love, Whip Nae Nae, Juju on that Beat, Air Planes, We got the Power and Footloose. It was really fun getting to do Just Dance and I enjoyed it a lot. 

Before we did Just dance we did Table Tennis and Juggling. For juggling we had to juggle 2 with one hand then 3 with both hands. For Table Tennis we had to vs someone and get 10 across then we could do it with the wall.

I reckon I have really good self confidence when it comes to dance because I dance outside of school and I have a big passion for it. When it comes to some other sports I am normally not that good at it but I get better. 

    

What i've been doing to keep fit

During lock down I have been trying to keep fit and do some exercises. I've been doing lots of dancing because I love to dance, I've also been doing Les Mills Born to Move that's on Tv channel 2 at 3pm every weekday. My brother has also been making me do 10 laps of the house and my mum gave my a quick workout to do. It was something like 10 laps of the backyard, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups and 10 star jumps. It was just something to do so I could keep up my fitness.
