Jumble Sale

    Last term our school had jumble sale. Jumble sale is when students bring items they do not need and donate it to school where we, IB students, run a 'market' and sell those items, at lower prices of course, therefore we had to plan and initiate activities and work collaboratively and showed perseverance and commitment. I also considered ethical implications of my actions. There was a huge variety of items brought in, for example DVDs, computer games, old toys, handbags, etc. IB students, including myself, were selling those items to the students and teachers. All the money that has been raised are going to go to charity for training guide dogs for the blind.

Winter Disco

     On the last day of the term the whole school participated in the school disco. The disco, and most of the day, was organized by IB students, therefore we had to plan and initiate activities. First thing in the morning was to go around all the classrooms and sell Santa hats. Also we were selling raffle tickets with which you could win a basket of some cool stuff like video games, iPod... Later on we had to prepare the gym for the disco; set up the speakers, bring the tables, decorate and so on... Once the disco started we were selling snacks and drinks to the other students. The money earned is going to be donated to the charity for supporting guide dogs for the blind. This all was a new challenge for me and for this to happen I had to work collaboratively and show perseverance and commitment. And I considered ethical implications of my actions.

Weather Club

    In our school IB students are doing a weather club. In weather club students every day go outside to take readings of variables like minimum and maximum temperature, air pressure, current temperature, amount of snow or rain. The readings that we take we plot them on a big graph in the hall in the school. The point of this club is to compare the readings to those of the previous years and see if there is any significant change in the climate of Moscow over the years, this way engaging with issues of global importance. This is a new challenge that I undertook and for this to happen I had to work collaboratively and since this project is going throughout the year I have to show perseverance and commitment.
