Library Service

We got new books to add to the library. We worked on putting the book numbers, barcodes and the borrowing-stamp page. It usually took the whole CAS time to finish it off when I was alone, but with numbers of crews, we finished it within 15 minutes. We delivered them to Ms. Wolfe later on.
I've noticed everyone's got used to the Library Service now, and they seem to be having confidence in this job. At first, I noticed they didn't have interesting attitude towards their works, but now that they are comfortable in this environment, they've started open up, and there isn't any tensed atmosphere around us anymore.

Sports day 16th September

Sports day! It's the day to get WILD (!), have fun, sweat... and don't forget, it's also the day to get action hours for CAS :)
This year, we divided into three teams; grade 6, 7 and 8 team, grade 9 and 11, and grade 10 and 12. For the first thing in the morning, I played football, then kickball, basketball, and volleyball. After lunch, we had swim gala.
Football was awsome, as it is my favourite sport, how could I not get wild on the field? Although my team lost almost everything and in fact brought my spirits down, I can say with honest that I had A FUN! I wish I could kick more soccer ball... and to a surprise, Mr. Shipley praised me with my play.
Today was also the day, when several sports made me realize that I can't play any other sports except football... I couldn't possibly play basketball or volleyball. I used to play basketball, but since I stopped, now I can't. Kickball is just kicking the ball, which is quite similar to football and baseball, so I didn't find any difficulties. Oh yes, practice and the effort does count even to the sports, not only in education...

Sports day, action goal

16th September is the school's sports day! We have got basketball, volleyball, swimming gala and my favourite football. My goal is to participate the land sports. I signed up for football twice during the house meeting, and someone has signed me up for basketball.
When we are in IB, we do not get a chance to have PE, since it's not in the 6 required subjects. So this is actually a good opportunity to move our body and refresh ourselves from the stresses we get from the IB itself!
This will be counted as my action, and I hope to have one wonderful day with my mates. And of course... I hope my house colour (yellow) wins at the end!!!

Soccer, After school

Me and Saba played football after school for Action. Having physical movement involves in Action, one of the three CAS lists. I haven't had much action last year so I tried to catch up during the summer holiday, but seems they weren't enough. So I hope this will help me balance up creativity, action and service.

Library Service

Community and Service (CS) started today and I became the leader of this year's "Library Service". I had a chat with Mrs. Lockwood about increasing the number of students in the Library Service, since we struggled to organize the book shelves by two younger students and myself. It surely takes time to organize the book shelves, so we decided to have 9 students. We were looking for people from grade 11 to 12, but this year we have students from 9th grade.
It's really good to have more people, since we can finish our work faster and the books are in their proper place. I only wish people start putting back their books in the right place... that's going to reduce our amount of work and we can do other Library Work, that is not book shlef organizing.
After the increased member in Library Service, I'm feeling connected with more people who I've never known. This is one of the best way to learn social connection with the others from different grades. Especially this year, since it's not only IB students, we can get more interected with each other.
I'm looking forward to work with this member this year, and I hope they will keep it up next year when some of them become the leader of Library Service.
