                                      MY SELF-ASSESSMENT:

In this term I have learnt a lot of english vocabulary and things that I didn´t know. I can do some things that I couldn´t other years, I can express me better, I know a lot of new words... In this term the thing that I’ve liked the most is the video of “Can´t stop the feeling” that is very funny. My greatest strengths are speaking and understanding english, my greatest weakness is the vocabulary in the exams. The thing that I do well is that I want to to take advantage of each class. I’m doing a lot of activities in english, for example, in this term I see a lot of english videos and I have improved a lot. I need to improve in the vocabulary, I think it´s difficult because we can write the meaning in spanish. I learn about bullying and english houses. I hope I will improve more this year.

P.E ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITIES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION:

1.       Find out the principle of transference and describe it.

 The principle of transference:  The accomplishment or learning of an exercise or the development of a certain quality can have a transfer neutral, negative or positive on different exercises.

2.        Give me an example of each training principles.

1- Principle of effective charge: 

  A beginner need less work than a person that usually practise sport.  Example: a beginner only will need over  40-50% of his maximum to have changes of his body but a oerson than practise sport will need over 70% of his maximum.

2- Principle of progression of the load:  

A person who wants to improve his physical condition must increase the load levels for the results to remain positive.   Example: For running when you begin you must run 30 minutes at 8 km per hour and one month later you must run 40 minutes at 10km oer hour.

3- Principle of Variety: 

It consists of doing different exercises so that it is not always monotonous.     Example:  One period of time, like one month you can run 25 minutes, other month you can do weightlifting and other month you can go swimming.

4-Principle of optimal relationship between load and recovery:  

It consists in doing rests when you do an exercise.  Example: you run for 30 minutes and then you rest for 15 minutes.

5-The principle of repetition and continuity:

Example: Run 30 minutes and then stretch.

6-Reverse action principle:

 The effects of training are reversible.   Example: run  two days of the week and the other days doing more easy exercises.

7- The principle of periodization: 

Example: microcycle: run 20 minutes each week.

8-The principle of individuality: 

The training process depends of the person.  Example: a person who do less sport can’t do the same effort than a proffesional.

9-The principle of specialization / multilateralism: 

 Example: if you are a football player, you mjst strecht your legs and run.
