Paul and I volunteered to be ushers at the grade 12 performance. we stood outside the entrance of the black box showing people where to go. I sat down with a list of people in my hand and ticked off every one that came in. every once in a while Remor or ms. Craig would ask me how many are missing. We also showed them to their seats once the play has started so they wouldn't make noise.
I think we did a pretty good job, we kept everything organized and no one went unattended. we stayed outside through out the whole play just in case some one came really late.

this Thursday, because of some issues the other school had, we did not get the kids again. this is the second time in a row. we talked to the head of the CAS projects and she said that for sure we will get the kids next week.
We didnt just sit there and do nothing through out the CAS time. to become a better teacher we started running drills on each other. so not only could we see what would work and what we could skip but we also improved our skills.
i thought we managed our time quite effectively even though not having the kids. i think that we need to improve our behavior around each other because we still play around too much. we must give our full attention to the children so that they can give their full attention back. if we start mocking around like last yesterday then we will not be successful in the achievement of the goals we set at the beginning of our CAS project.

WAKEBOARDING
I have been wake boarding for 6 years and have tought a lot of people how to get up and enjoy it aswell. it is my favourite sport and i enjoy teaching people how to do it aswell. i thought since i really dont mind doing it and teachign people why dont i get somethign from it. im helping people to learna new skill. so i decide it to make it a CAS exercise. for the people who dont know what wakeboarindg is. its a sport were you stand on a board on the water and you get dragged behind a boat, you can jump and do a lot of fun things off the wake of the boat.
GOAL
My goal is to take 3 of my friends (because wakeboarding is not something you can do 4 at a time and it takes time to learn ) and teach them how to wakeboard and experience the thrill.
COMMENT
the problem with this is that the only place where we can do it is bentota and so i will be able to do it only twice a month. and that only one person can go at a time behind a boat so it will be a very long process. but i think that i still should do it because its something i enjoy and so did all the people that i have tought in the past and so i want to keep sharing this experience with others.

Band practice and performances
Paul, Adrien, Francesca and I have formed a band called what happened and as a group we found out that we could not only make concerts because we want to show of our awesome skills but that we could also do them to raise money for other community services.
GOAL
my goal is to compose and complete songs by the time it is needed. and to successfully perform on stage infront of a big crowd. also to encourage my band mates to do their best and to ROCK with passion and to make them comfortable on stage since we happen to have some people with stage fright.
REFLECTION
i think this will be very successful because many people like us and know us. so people of other community service programmes will not be scared or ashamed to ask us to perform for them. this way it is easier for them to raise money for their community service. we really have a good bond between each other in the band so we have no problem working together extra hours. we enjoy playing our instruments a lot and we enjoy playing together so there will be no set back there. we contribute to each others ideas very well and complete a lot in a very short period of time so i think this project will be very successful through the year.

Goal of my community service programme
My goal is to successfully teach and improve the children's sporting abilities and involve them in many sports activities. let them have fun and also improve their interactive skills.
This goal will take time to achieve but it wont be impossible. my community service programme involves 7 pepople that have a lot of skill on a psecific sport (mostly football and basketball). we will work together by splitting ourself into groups. Chrishni, Roger and I are more experienced in basketball so we take the basketball people and teach them basketball techniques. the rest of the community service group will take the football pitch and teach kids football techniques.

FIRST SESSION & REFLECTION
in our first community service time that we had. we didnt get any kids. we sat in our group trying to recruit more people with athletics skills because our community service group was too small to handle the amount fo kids we were requesting.
We discussed and planned out the whole year of our community service programme, looking at the holidays and other things that may come in our way while developing the programme. our palan is to make a tournament with these kids by the end of the year and also in other social events. so we planned out how we can make this work without holding us back from any studies.
it was a very sucessful session. we managed to get everything done o time with enought people to run the rpogramme and havign every one know what was going on so that nobody would get lost or waste time. i think that we will stick to the plan pretty well because its not a very tight plan, we dont have dew dates or anything. so its easy to stick by it and we will manage to have everything done when needed and planned. every one in the community service programme seems to be able to work together and so we will have no problem of conflict.
