1st Reflection on Lighthouse Service

LO3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience. Students can articulate the stages from conceiving an idea to executing a plan for a CAS experience or series of CAS experiences. This may be accomplished in collaboration with other participants. Students may show their knowledge and awareness by building on a previous experience, or by launching a new idea or process.

  • be able to develop a coherent action plan taking into account the aim or purpose, activities and resources.

 

Over the last month of the activity, I genuinely learned something from it, that planning is really an effective method and is really important. Without the planning process, we would not have gotten this far, with this detailed understanding and knowledge on the target and the aim of the project. It was really a valuable outcome that I think I will keep in mind for the future.

During the last session, we, in smaller groups, discussed ideas and planned for our activities for the lighthouse students. I believe that this really taught much to me. I came to realising that this “planning” of activities got us really think about the conditions of our customers, our aim and purpose and limitations and led us to understand the circumstances better. It is really obvious that without first planning our activities with discussions, we might have faced problems with out project. I believe this discussion really led us to plan with considering multiple options and circumstances of the project.

1st Reflection on Sonos

LO4- Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences. Students can articulate the stages from conceiving an idea to executing a plan for a CAS experience or series of CAS experiences. This may be accomplished in collaboration with other participants. Students may show their knowledge and awareness by building on a previous experience, or by launching a new idea or process.

  • Demonstrate regular involvement and active engagement with your CAS experiences and CAS project.

 

So far, I believe we had about 4 sessions of Sonos. It has been very enjoyable and was a very new type of experience to me. Over the last month, I was able to know people in the activity from regular attendance. It was very fun and I have learned that regular commitment, although it could be boring and less fun than hanging out with friends, led to an amazing piece of work done by all of us through collaboration. I learned that it is critical, especially for activities like Sonos, that everyone is involved and everyone shows the commitment to the project, as Sonos is especially a long-term project as we develop our skills over sessions eventually bring them together as a piece of work.

After first day of swimming

I found it really intense and tiring. It is really intense that I am even thinking of giving up a day from 3 days per week to 2 per week. However I want to continue with 3 days per week and improve my fitness, so that is becomes less tiring and intense at the end of the season and later. I believe that this will be really really tiring, but I also think that this is the perfect time of year to do intense training, as the academics is not intensive yet and hard training now will help me focus on academics later in the year with less exhaustion. I am also excited that the swimming team is really professional and skilled, and looking forward to further trainings.

First session of SEAMC

After the first session of SEAMC, I thought this activity is very fun and enjoyable, and something I really like. I want this joy and passion continues throughout the year. However I might find it uncomfortable to go to other places with people who I’m not yet very close with, especially people in other grades. I wish I get to know people better and feel more confident about this issue. I’m excited that this is really fun and I will be able to enjoy and am looking forward to future sessions and competitions.

First session of HS Sonos

First session of Sonos was very different to what I thought, however was much more fun that what I thought and was very enjoyable. I hope, that I still keep this joy until the end of year and that singing remains funs despite of practices and singing in front of audiences.

I think singing in front of audiences will be challenging to me, because I am not used to it and I am not very confident singing in front of people. I feel that it will take some time to overcome this problem, however I hope it gets better as we do several performances.

I’m excited that I will be having many opportunities to join many other performances in school through Sonos, and I will have lots of fun
