I know I made a plan for the winter day but haven't posted yet. Well it went quite well yet not how I planned it would. Daniel and I though we would go to park for the first two periods and come back for break, than return with another class. However later on we figured there was only one class we had to deal with and then help the other groups.
1. After we went to Bitsevsky park I chose two people from grade 10 who would be the leaders and would choose their teammates. According to our plan we played capture the flag and made up pretty good rules even though I never plaed before, so everybody enjoyed the game up to a certain time. Unfortunately kids started to accuse each other of cheating soon and the game became more agressive, which is why we decided to change to SnowRugby. Those wished not to hurt themselves could not join the game but it was only in the last 15 minutes of our time. Even Year12s joined and so the last 15 minutes were saved and we still had fun. Unfortunately Year12s never made any other contribution. They ignored taking the referees duty and gathered in a group to talk the whole time, this way only Daniel and I contributed to the activty completely. Even teachers tried to call for Year11s help but they kept ignoring it.
2. After we returned and figured we had no other activities we helped the girls make hot chocolate. They had to leave for about 20 minutes to get some more cocoa powder but until then we "held the front" since people kept coming. I particularly enjoyed doing more than just one duty during activity day.
3. The girls returned soon, so we decided with Daniel to evolve into a hot-chocolate delivery group. Firts time it was him opening the doors for me while I took about 10 cups of hot chocolate on a plate and carried from the girls' stand to teachers and students.
4. By the end of the day the last thing we had to do was cleaning up. We removed the poles from the obstacle course, cleared the road from ice and put the desks back where they belonged. Even though we planned to do one service we did multiple and enjoyed doing it. Unfortunately at some point we had more work than we expected becuse Year11s didnt do much, however I have to admit some of them contributed a lot to planning the day. It was fun, except for a several misallocation of time management which caused conusion in the beginning.

This is a good example of how to be reflective about your CAS projects. Good work. It would be nice to see the plan before the reflection but if you can post it, that would be good. Organising whole school activities is difficult but you did it, survived it, and hopefully learnt a great deal from it. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI did have a plan, it is on the previous page under 'Winter Activity Day: Plan'. Thank you for your comments! I think it helps and motivates most of us :)
