International Day

Half-term came around quite quickly and it was time for us (the year 12 group) to take part in the organization of activities, as well as preparing food for the buffet-lunch in the afternoon. I spent my time in the kitchen preparing and apple pie, I tried something new and, although I do know how to prepare food for myself, this was a new experience for me in the sphere of pastries and sugary treats. The 14th of October started off at a quick and very energetic pace, since I was the one in charge for the equipment for the activity organized be Stefan, Vinit, Kirill and me. The quiz to lay on my shoulders and although I failed my first attempt, but was rather successful in my second, since I became aware of my strengths and weaknesses and was able to take the lessons out of my mistakes. Overall the quiz contained up to 100 question on Football (soccer), Hockey and Basketball, which, in our opinion, are the most popular around the world. The activity itself was mostly based around football, since the activity was a penalty shootout where the questions determined the position from where the penalty kick was due. Points were awarded to the players who scored and correctly answered. It was quite good that we took on the younger groups who seemed much more keen in sports and we attempted to learn new skills, when I say that I mean controlling the Year 7s, it is practically impossible to hold them on one spot! After finishing the quiz and having lots of time to spare we played football matches - the four of us against a horde of small children. It was great to see that most were having a good time, meaning that our efforts did not go to waste. I believe that our team definitely undertook a new challenge and I plan to continue organizing activities for the younger years.
