Warrior is a sports drama movie about 2 brothers Tommy Conlon and Brendan Conlan who split up when they were teenagers Tommy left with his mother and Brendan stayed with his alcholic father and his girlfriend turned wife.But only a few years after the family split up Tommy and Brendans mother died of cancer but Brendan and his dad never found out that she died because Tommy hated them so much he didnt tell them and they had lost contact.But then 30 years later the family met up again Tommy coming back from war where he lost his best friend and promised his friends wife and kids money and he hired his now recovering alcholic father to coach him for the biggest MMA tournament in history Sparta  for 5 million dollors.And Brendan had quit fighting as well and had 2 kids and his wife but they got in financial trouble and brendan started fighting again in night clubs for money behind his wifes back  so they didnt lose there house but then he loses his job as a physics teacher for doing the fights and then starts training full time and when one of his teammates who was in Sparta gets injured his coach and long time friend gets him into the tournament.To help him keep his house if he wins.Both the brothers go into the tournament as under dogs and end up in the final together in a thrilling fight scence where they are both crying remebering the things they went through together as kids but in the end Brendan wins the 5 million dollor prize.The final shot of the movie is the 2 brothers walking out of the arena hugging each other and there dad smiling showing the family may have reunited in the most unlikely of ways.



The character that got me hooked to the movie the most is Tommy because he went through so much struggle in his life but still found ways to help people by joining the army and saving a entire group of U.S soilders he didnt even know.The respect fellow soilders have for Tommy is shown when he enters the cage and a whole area of the arena is U.S soilders singing songs in his honour.He also shows through all the pain hes suffered he is willing to enter a MMA tournament for 5 million dollors and give the money to his fallen friends family. The soilders singing songs in his honour and Tommy becoming an instant fan favourite in amongst MMA fans shows us the respect the public has for Tommy and what he is able to do.I feel the reason why people love tommy so much in the movie is everyone likes to see a hero and wants someone to look up to and Tommy is easily that hes a war hero who defended his country and saved many lifes and also a successful hard working athlete that i can look up to knowing no matter where you come from or what youve been through you can persivere and reach greatness and inspire other people to reach greatness changing lifes in the process.



The Movie is relevant to students my age because as young people we all have dreams and goals and we all want to do something great in life but some people think just because you dont grow up in the richest and nicest area with the best circumstances you cant reach these goal and make dreams reality.But this movie shows through what the 2 brothers went through growing up with a alcholic father and their parents spliting and the brothers not seeing each other again until 30 plus years later when they are aboun to fight in a cage and  their mum passing away shows us that no matter how bad your circumstances are you can still reach your goals work your way out of any situation and make dreams a reality.

P.E Quiz Newtons Laws

1 Describe Newtons law 1 give an example The law on inertia-The law of inertia states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless an outside force moves it or an object in motion stays in motion unless an outside force stops it.

2 Describe Newtons law 2 give an example Law of Acceleration-The law of acceleration states that if a net force acts on an object the object will acclerate the more mass something has the slower it will move the less mass it has the faster it will acclerate.

3 Describe Newtons law 3 give an example   Action reaction-The law of Action and reaction                      states for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction

KEY WORDS INERTIA

Change in state of motion 

KEY WORDS ACCELERATION

More mass slows people down Less mass speeds people/objects up 

KEY WORD ACTION REACTION 

Direction equal and opposite up forwards backwards

Newtons Laws

1-Explain who Issac Newton is: Issac Newton is the English Physicist who is recognised as one of the best physcist of all time and he discovered gravity.

List the 3 laws of 

First Law-The first law is that an object  stays at rest and a object in motion stays in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless an external force stops it.Motion or not enough motion can not change without an unbalanced force acting on the object.If nothing is happenin got you and nothing does happen you will never go anywhere.

Second Law-The second law says that the acceleration of an object produced by  a total applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force the same direction of the force and inversely related to the mass of the object

Third Law- The third law say that for every force/action  there is an equal opposite reaction/force.






3:Give a sporting example for each law-

First Law-A football is at rest until kicked then continues to move until fritions stops it or another player stops ir


Second Law-The more force you applied to a football the faster it will move in the direction aimed


Third Law-When you lift the weights in a dead lift the opposite reaction is it moves upwards.

PE Assessment Practice

The image is of an athlete running,Running involves flextion and extension of both the knee and the hip.When the hip extends it requires movement of mucles in pairs .Pairs required are the glteous Maximus and the Hip flexors.For hip extension the prime mover or the agonist mucle is gluteous maximus .When this contracts the hip flexors stretch/relax this is knownas the antagonist.For hip flextion the opposite is true the glutomis amximus becomesthe antagomnist and the
