INTERNATIONAL DAY 3

 Our plan worked very well and I think people enjoyed Team Japan very much :)
The quiz was very interesting and we provided useful information about Japan and its culture. Everybody liked Chihiro's snacks, and Fukuwarai entertained people very well. It was a bit difficult to organize in the end, because all of us were really tired. And I was really nervous to talk in front of everybody, but as I promised Chihiro and Shun to take the chair and organize the presentation and the game, I tried all me best. I knew that I made some mistakes in English, but I tried to look confident. This opportunity made me a much more better communicator than before:D

 But I'm sure it wrothed that. I'm very proud of what we've done.

When time was left, we decided to show Shun's CAS film and play another Japanese game, Yamanote Sen Game. So we could take proper steps to meet the situation which is awesome! :D
  However, I thought it would be better if we've had a rehearsal. But we still did a great job.

INTERNATIONAL DAY 2 - ART

 I was planning to draw next Maiko-San by color pencils, but as I had to draw for the Internationl day. I chose less time consuming way, drawing with water colors. I wanted to make the drawing full of Japanese culture, so I decided to draw it in Manga way. This was quiet difficult as I had to design without any models. It took about 2 hours to finish the work. But I am satisfied with my result, and my time management. And I am very glad that I could combine two different CAS activities, creativity and service.

THE INTERNATIONAL DAY 1 - TEAM JAPAN

 Each of us in team Japan, has tasks to do. First, we made a brief plan and then we assign each tasks to person who would be adequate for it. Shun is the best ICT student, as I think, and he's showed an awesome CAS presentation. So we decided he'll make a power point for the quiz. Chihiro, is very good at cooking and she makes sweet for her CAS project. So we've decided that she'll make some Japanese snacks as prizes for winner of the quiz. I was assigned to make Fukuwaro - Japanese traditional game, and some decollations for the room, as I do art for my CAS Project. I also will take the chair which means I'll have to organize people on the International day.

 At lunch time, we made 100 of color cards which we'll give to students each time they'll get right answers, so at the end we can count them and find out the winners.

 Planning and cutting paper.

Decolating The Wall

  

  On 17th of October, I decollated the wall in the school with my friends, Chihiro and Shun. The wall which we chose was near the canteen. It really did not look very nice. So we decided to decollate it for the International Day.
 We used many equipments and ideas to make it better. I think we did a great job, and we could contribute to the school and other students, by making the school look a bit better :)

Acticity - after a month :)

As I wrote in my CAS plan, I do my exercises every day. This is my calendar where I mark everyday after doing them. As you can see there are some days that I missed. This was because of my health issues. After a month, I realized that doing these exercises everyday is a bit taught. Maybe I should make a day off in every week...? Btu I still want to try with the same timetable for one more month to see what will happen.

The Service

 On 13rh of October, I invited my friends, Na-Kyung and Chihiro to join my CAS seivice in the hospital. We collected fallen leves to clean the park up. It war really taugh and hard work, but we could work efficiently as there were six of us. And I understood that my Russian is not as bad as I used to think :) At least, I could translate some things to my friends.

CAS MOVIE- for good or for evil

 On 10th of October, we were going to show our CAS film made by Michel, Chihiro and me. Unfortunately we missed the chance. Anyway, now people can watch this awesome film made by us anytime they want.
 The theme was make-up. But we have to be creative, so we divided to dress up the (un)lucky boy, Shun.
We used the full lunch-time, but it worthed it :)
 Each of us edit the films and photos and made our original films. It took about 3 hours to do it, but I quiet enjoyed it as I learned some new skills.
I hope you'll enjoy it.

 Thank you very much Shun for the cooperation!! Arigatou :)

The First Service - collecting fallen leaves

Yesterday, I helped in a hospital with my friend, Na-Kyung. As my mother works in a private volunteer organization, I asked her to find a job for me. She offered me to help in a hospital on every Saturday. In this organization, there are many students from Russian universities who need to do public service as well. So I invited Na-Kyung, who’s in my CAS team.

 The service was collecting fallen leaves, and it was quiet difficult and tough than it seemed to be. It was totally new for me and I acquired a new skill. I also had to talk in Russian with other people in the volunteer group. I sometime translated Russian for Na-Kyung. I usually dislike talking in Russia as I know that I make some grammar mistakes and my pronunciation has accents. I also do not like new things or meeting new people. But yesterday, I was not afraid of making mistakes and I tried to be a better communicator. 

 The service took for about an hour and a half.

 ''No way...!!''

  ''We have a long long loooong way to go...''

   After 30 minets....

  

 

     We finally finished!!! Yeeeeey!!

Finally Completed My Frist Art Work

Today, I finished my first art work. It took about a week to complete the work which is quiet disappointing because there were few things to do and I was not going to spend more than 4 days for the work. This shows my bad time management skill which I have already started to improve.

 Next time, I am going to extend my art skill and use COLOURED pencils!!! (It's sooo exciting, isn't it??!) And improving my skill of organizing tasks and time management is also the next aim.

           1.Brief sktch of the umbrella

 

           2.Shading...

           3.Some details....

        4. Yeeeeey!!!! Finish!!!

Badminton Club!! - Activity

 Today, the 2nd of October, I decided to try badminton club with my friend. Actually I don't like doing some new, especially when I know I may fail. However, I thought it would be a good chance for me to become a better communicator and open-minded person. And I always find irritating that I am so coward ( or conservative...) and hate being in a new group of people. I was really lucky that my friend was so patient to my indecision and tried to persuade me.
 The club was really fun and it was a good opportunity for me to learn a new skill. I also communicated with students from other year groups which was quiet new for me as I always prefer and likely to be with my peer groups. I saw that yr.13 students were teaching some skills and organized other students and some people from my class were also helping with e.g. putting a net on the polls. I thought my next stage or aim is caring about other people and trying to show a leadership as a yr.12 student.
 I am not really sure whether I will continue going to the badminton club, because I also have to go to a church on Tuesday. This is very bad as it means I failed to organize my plans and use time efficiently.
