Beep test

In term three our class has been trying to increase our fitness by doing a beep test.  A beep test is when you jog/run 20m.  When the whistle blows you have to make it to the other end before the whistle blows again.  You run continuously about six times in the beginning and then you get a short rest.  As you run longer the time speeds up so you have to get to the end faster.  We really tried to get out two or three times a week if we could.

I feel the fitness of the students definitely got better over time.  On their first beep test the children were lucky to do 880m.  The children managed to get over the 1000m mark and then there was no looking back.  Over the term the highest point reached was 3120m.  

I am super proud of everyone who participated and gave it their best!  Special shout out to Jayven who literally won every time.  Children kept him on his toes and really pushed him to give up but he always just had that little bit more.
