I fell like i'm about to die...
I had my PE GCSE moderation assesment today. I had to do 3 hours of Circuit training, followed by 3 hours of netball. The netball was outside, and it was bloody hot. And as if that wasn't bad enough, i was put in a team with all but one members of the year 11 netball team at my school :eek: Whenever i caught the ball, i nearly knocked myself out!! I guess it shows that they THOUGHT i'd do alright... but it was awfull. I broke the 3 foot rule so many times. Is obvious i failed, but them too things aren't even the sports i like, let alone i'm good at!!
Circuit training wasn't that bad, so it might have pulled my grade up a bit, but the moderator stood right in front of me when i was doing sit ups. Totally put me off, and i burst out laughing. I dont think she was so amused.
Should have done athletics... if only i didn't break me ankle last year, eh?
Ah well, its only short course, but now i'm shattered. So exhusted.
aww Abi. if its as hot as it has been here then you shouldn't have been out! people at my school weren't allowed to go outside for PE as it was too hot!
The moderator from EdExcel was there though, so we had to, because she needed to assess us and moderate the marks for our final grades.
And netball is an outdoors sport, so we needed to go outside. The sports hall was being used for Basketball anyway, and the Gym and Sports hall were being used for the year 9 SATs. So we didn't really have an alternative.
i remember when i did my pe practical assessment for gcse, i was so knackered afterwards! we had to do ours inside though cos it was pelting down with rain outside. i would rather have done it outside though cos we had to try and play rounders inside and obviously cos thats difficult the examiner just gave us the marks our teacher had given us, which was annoying cos we couldnt improve, and the same went with athletics, we couldnt do it outside, so couldnt do the sprint or long jump, so all we had to do were sprint starts and cos we couldnt be timed, our marks couldnt go up. but i wasnt as tired as i could have been cos in the easter holidays we had had a trial day so id been through it all day before and on that day we had done it outside in the boiling hot so when we did the real thing it didnt feel as bad
Do you have to do a PE exam even if you don't choose it as one of your options?Quote:

oh well maybe every schools different, like we had to take re but some other schools near me didnt. but its not a subject which the government says is compulsory to take, so you probably wont have to do itQuote:
