In groups we discussed what a balanced diet is and how much are each food group you need to eat to have a balanced diet. We then made posters about when you should eat certain food to gain the most energy. We were then told that for the next lesson we would need to bring a food pyramid displaying what food you should eat. I learnt that do be a healthy performer you need a balanced diet.

We started the lesson by making posters in groups I was in a group with Tilly and Alex and we made a poster about grains.

To begin the lesson we had a quiz to recap on what we been learning in the previous lessons about health and safety within the studio. After the quiz we talked about why we warmup and how warmups gets you ready for an activity. I made a mind map with my ideas about warming up and why we do it. We were then told that we were to make a warmup for the whole class specifically tailored to one area of dance, I chose to make a warmup about tap.
Why is it important to wear the correct footwear in the studio?
When can air conditioning be a bad thing in the studio?
What can happen when you wear jewellery whilst dancing?
What happens if your clothes are too tight?
What happens if your clothes are too loose?
What are the risks of having food/drink in the studio?
What can happen if the studio is too cold?
Why is an untidy studio a risk?
Why is studio size important?
A physical or mental activity that prepares the body for the task you are about to do. A warm up consists of Cardio, Warm up muscles groups, Prep stretches and lasts from 10-15 mins. Cardio makes your heart beat fsater and keeps the blood pumping to mkae muscles workk better. A warm up gives you a full range a mobility in your joints and gets your muscles warm to avaoid injury.

After keeping a good diary for a week, I noticed my diet needed to be improved so I could have more energy and be healthier. So I monitored my diet for another week and broke down every meal I ate into food groups. This highlighted what I need to eat less of; grains and sugars. I need to eat more: vegetables throughout the day.

The skeleton
The skeleton keeps our organs protected:
-The ribs protect the lungs
-The skull protects the brain
-The pelvis protects our internal organs
The sketon allows you to move and stand up, as well as keep your body shape. There are different typesof bones: Irregular (vertebrae in the spine) and Clavicle (collar bones),also long and short bones.

Joints
Joints are attached to the bones and allow us to move. There are 3 main types of joints: Fibrous (not moveable),
Cartilaginous (the bones start as cartilage and harden over time, not completely moveable) and Moveable ( Gliding/sliding, Hinge, Saddle, Ball socket)

More joints
The Elipsoid and Pivot joints: Elipsoid= wrist and Pivot= neck.
We labeled the bones and joints on the body, my partner was Leah and I used her body to know where the bones and joints are. We also recapped the joints we had previously learnt.
We also did a student led warmup, which this week was led by Alex who foccused on jazz. She started with cardio and then stretched out our muscles after we warmed up our muscles. Alex's warmup was effective as my heart was racing and I felt warm and ready to start a dance.

Movements
We learnt abut the types of movement in the body:
Flexion - Muscle can only contract and relax.
Flexion (lateral) - Flexion over the side surface.

In healthy performer today we continued practising our movement routines but I decided to change mine to make it more fluid and more dance orientated. We then learnt Leah's routine, which I found challenging but I enjoyed learning it.

Today Till taught us her movement routine. The routine was really difficult but I tried my best to pick it up. We then discussed possible formations to perform our routine in and what sounds we woud like in the background.
