learn how to plan

On wednesday, we practised how to plan projects, since planning is a fundamental process to make things happen possibly. We assumed that we would organise a summer fair and during this CAS session, we made a plan for it.
This is the plan I made with Ho Jun so far.

Basically we started our plans with 5w 1h.

Who? -who will organise (Y12s)
           -who will participate in? : all school students
               --will break them into each year group into two

When? -at the end of June (the week after exam week)
            -use a whole day for it

Why? - to release stress of the exam and give an opportunity to make students a great memory
           - to enjoy the short summer in Moscow
           - to raise money for charity ( people who are dying in femine)

Where? - at school (both inside and outside)

How? - There will be at least one person who supervises a group of each year. It can be like an international day, so we make groups and each of them has a station/activity.

Possible activities (for charity)

1) water gun war

We haven't made  specific game rules, but there should be no problems with safety. We will make a small field by drawing lines on the ground and there will be refrees for a fair game and safety reasons. but we have to think about it more.

2) Water melon shooting (outside activity)
- Make a small wooden  target and hang it on the wall. 1 piece of watermelon will be 30 rubs and people who got a target will be rewarded with cool juice.

3) an unknown box

we put several things in a box covered with black cloth and people who guess correctly will be rewarded; we will give the things they guess and chocolate as rewards :)
1 trial - 20 rubs (20 seconds)

4) Throwing ballons to faces
- this activity really needs volunteers who are willing to wash their face by water ballons thrown. If we gather (hope about 5 people) volunteers, we prepare a board with a hole to put a face. the prices we think of is 1 trial for 50 rubs 3 trials for 100 rubs.

5) Summer concert
- I am playing the second guitar in a band and our band can perform on that day. ( we can perform with other people like David who can do awesome beatbox) It will be free, but some people can sell food in an art room and when they enter the concert they can enjoy the concert with food. This money will also be used for charity.


However, problems for these seem that cost of buying chocolate or ballons can possibly be more than we get money from students, so it is necessary to attract and encourage them to do these activities.
(e.g. Posters on walls)

Challenges : I have never led this kind of event and this will be an opportunity to organise things and  Also since I started CAS, I haven't done some charity work so far. There were many successful cases like selling cakes and I also

And during the session, there was one thing that we couldn't think of: uncertainty.
Bad things will possibly happen. Inspite of detailed plans, due to some of problems which can occur, this summer fair propably will not work as we plan and expect. So we should prepare for these things to prevent  big problems. Next time, when I plan, I will surely insert it into my plan.

If this will happen, I should talk to othe people who will also involve in this day and we need to decide who will be responsible for what.
