I think it's pretty slick that each culture has a god to explain natural causes. Let us be clear though, Jesus is our lord and saviour (in my opinion, I respect yours)

Pe - Gymnastics
In PE we have been doing gymnastics. In the past 3 lessons, we have been getting used to the equipment and learning how to do certain trick or practicing what we already know. Yesterday, Dylan and I spent a lot of time on the floor practicing some of the routines. Since I hate feet, the main ones I enjoy are floor and bar because my socks are allowed on :)
Something I could improve on:
Pacing myself so that I get to all the equipment without getting tired.
Something I could work on:
Practicing the floor routines so I get them really clean.
Something I did well:
Learning some of the tricks on the floor.

This was something I did a lot yesterday. I managed to do forward rolls pretty well but I spent a lot of time trying to gain control over standing up afterwards so that it looks tidy when I put it into a routine.
