I missed the first day of the trust fall so a couple of people helped me on the second day. It was scary at first but then as i got used to it i learned to trust the people more and then i just fell as stiff as a board =]
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit hard for me when trying to catch the people, but since we did it as a group, it became a lot easier
It was cool seeing everyone trust eachother more and more, and wacthing the catchers step up and be aware of their responsibility to keep their partner safe.

At first when I saw what we had to do, I felt a bit scared. But as we started to do it more and more, I learned to trust others to catch me. It was extremely hard for me to catch other people and I had to give it my all even if I couldn't try anymore. It was fun though and I'm looking forward to actually doing the fall now.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good test to see if we really trust each other or not. I remember when I first did it, I took a step back with my foot. But I realized that I trust my partners so I can rely on them to catch me. So when I did it for the second time, I had no problems. As I was watching the rest of the groups, they were all trusting each other more and more and it was really cool to see the progress.
ReplyDeleteI was deffinitly nervous to fall and trust my partners to catch me. After some of the other falls I got more comfertable. I'm kinda scared for the real fall on monday though!! Everyone better catch mee!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed these activities. It let me trust the people around me and i actually felt safe and trusting being in their arms. I can't wait for the real thing (:
ReplyDeleteI wasn't there for the second day but on the first day, I was a little nervous to fall. I realized that they were going to catch me though and it helped that I didn't have to fall that far.

it was really hard for me the first day because there was only two people that were keeping me from falling but the second day was a lot better because there were more people there and i felt way more comfortable (power in numbers XD).
ReplyDeleteas a catcher, it was kind of weird seeing the people before me be so scared to fall and we always had to reassure each person that we wouldnt drop them. when i got up to do it tho i felt the same thing tho and my group was saying the same thing to me as i said to other people in my group.

I was really nervous when you told us what we had to do but i trusted the people in my group alot to catch me and have my back. The commands i think helped alot with this activity because it makes you feeler safer knowing the spotters are ready. I'm definetly ready for the bigger trust falls.
ReplyDeleteim scared to try it but ill trust my classmates because it sounds like every1 followed through

Since I was with people that I didn't know really well, being a faller was more difficult, especially for levitation activity. It's easier being a spotter when with less familiar people.
ReplyDeletei definitely think that if we had done this at the beginning of the year if would have been so much harder for everyone to trust each other and for everyone to focus on the activity, but now that we've all gotten to know each other it was so easy and comfortable!

I felt like this activity built up our trust for our classmates.I loved my group because we all worked well together&&if someone felt scared we talked them through it&&supported them.I'm glad that we can all can trust eachother.

I wasn't there either of the days but from what i saw it looked scary and like you really had to trust the people who were catching you.

It was interessting and fun. It help us to trust each other. Not as individual but as a group. It built up more of our trust. I had no proble. I know i can trust everyone in class. So far all the activities we did are building more and more. I feel comfortable, but the true results will come from the trust fall the real thing.
ReplyDeleteHey!!!
ReplyDeleteTHat was so scary. i did just one hour ago. it was kind of weird the fact that i could blindly trust all my classmates but i did't trust in myself and my weight i was mostly concern for them than falling out. but i did and i think i could trust know all of them and me. that looked really taller thatn i thought it was going to be.
I love the falling/trust activities! They really are a blast if everyone focuses and contributes. We got everyone in our group to do the willow/pendulum/fall/ levitation quickly and carefully and it was still pretty fun. It really wakes us up in the morning too.

So i was some what ok with it because of the people i started off with. As the groups got larger i had more issues trusting all of them. I really only had an issues with the weeping willow one because i'm a little claustraphobic(??) so it made me a little uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteThe levatation was okay once i was coming down. It was relaxing and it shocked me when i hit the ground. I'm learning to trust people more.

i thought this activity was a little scary at first because i wasnt able to completly trust everyone as the groups got larger, but i just tried to push that aside and do it anyways. it was nerve racking but now i feel like i now better trust everyone in class than i did before. && with todays activity falling from really high up..haha that was scaryyyy.but im really proud of my group for being able to get through everyone and dropping only one..sorry alex :( and even catching Mr H. :) this is for sure going to take some more time for me to fully trust everyone though.

I thought the trust activities were pretty fun. I had a hard time trusting people at first, but as we did different activities, I became more and more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteit was hard to trust people at first but after the first time you fall backwards, you begin to trust them more and more. even thought its still really scary >___<
ReplyDeleteAngela

ReplyDeleteDiana
i missed the first day of the trust falls and on the second day my group did a really good job of explaining to me how to do it. they made me feel really safe !

Trust falls were amazing. I guess it made me realize that it's not always the easiest thing to trust someone to catch you.
