Sports day.





We had a sports day at school.  The whole school including students and teachers were participating in different games like Dutch ball, football, basketball, volleyball, running and the final game was the race around the school.  Teachers divided us into four different groups; the group which l was in was called Gogol.  Other three groups were Gogol’, Tolstoy,Chekov and Pushkin.
It was a perfect sunny day and everyone were positively motivated.  Our first game was a Dutch ball.   .  Our next game was   football and after that we went to a gym to play basketball.  In all of our activities we worked collaboratively with others and considered ethical importance of our actions.  A game which l really liked was called ‘’  Mr Tom game ‘’.  Every team had to plane their own strategy.  We had to plan it wisely in order to not lose the game.  I think that all of the school showed perseverance and commitment in their actions.  In the last activity we had to  stand in the line in our team and pass the ball from first person to a last person.  A team,  which finished earlier than the others was supposed to win.  I never did these kind of activities before so I think that I undertook new challenges .
Other four outcomes, which weren’t present, were:
Undertook new challenges.
Increase our knowledge about areas for growth
Engaged with issues of global importance
Developing new skills
Planning and initiated activities
Everyone tried hard; they were some people, which were good at one kind of sports and some in other.   I think that the most important thing is the timework and is when people plan something and use the strategy.  So many men so many minds.

Moscow Fun Run.


    
            On the 12th of September some students from year 12 and some from 13 went to Moscow fun run.  It was taking place around the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Red Square, and the St Basils Cathedral. Our group had to run 10 km. They were thousands of people, which were running even more than 10 km. 
            In the Moscow Marathon they were a lot of elderly people and they were actually running better that young people.  Me and Kathya were two girls in the group and we were running together.  I think that it was a very beautiful place to have a Marathon.  I never participated in Marathon before, so I think that I undertook new challenges.  To tell the truth I wasn’t running very good but l was trying to.  Sometimes I was walking.  I didn’t take a very good place at the end of the marathon and didn’t get any medal, but still I think that I showed perseverance and commitment in the activity.
            Other six outcomes, which weren’t present, are:
v Increased their awareness of their own strengths areas for growth 
v Planned and initiated activities 
v Worked collaboratively with others 
v Engaged with issues of global importance 
v Considered the ethical implications of their actions 
v Developed new skills
Taking part in the Moscow fun run and running/walking in the most beautiful historical places of Moscow with my classmates and teachers was a good experience for me.

Bitsevsky park

On the 3’rd of September our class went to an ecological park. The purpose of visiting the park was to defecate the park from pollution. We got a pare of gloves and bags for garbage, we were parted into groups. In this activity we worked collaboratively with others. We worked during an hour. Then we returned to school and divided the trash, which we collected into two groups: recycling and non-recycling. That increased our knowledge about areas for growth. I undertook new challenges because it was an unfamiliar activity for me.


I think that it is an important thing to collect trash, because we are helping the environment to be clean even if it was a small area. That is why there were outcomes of engaging with issues of global importance.

Other four outcomes, which weren’t present, are:

• Developing new skills.

• Considering ethical importance of our actions.

• Show perseverance and commitment in our activities.

• Planning and initiated activities.

They are a lot of problems in the world connected with ecology. Pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation and depletion. I think people have to realize that environmental problems are very important and stop pollution of world.
