Sports Day

21st of September was a perfect sunny day. On this Thuesday we had Sparts Day at school. Students, devided into houses and age groups, had to play different kinds of sports with the teachers supervision. I have never played so many different sports and games in one day.
First we played Dutch ball, which bacame more interesting becouse our teachers changed some rules. After, we went to play football in the court. First i did not want to play, but i decided to undertake newchallenges. Later i really enjoyed it, especially when i scored our team's only goal. From the court we went to play bascetball, and after that we played volleyball. I really waited for this moment, becouse i used to play volleyball for two years.
I thought, that trunning would be the only sport i would miss, but finally everybody had to run so i could not escape. Surprisingly i became the secound girl after Shoko. The last but one we played Capture The Flag. It was a familiar game to me, becouse me and my friends used to play this game in Hungary, but actually in a different way, and it was not easy for me to accept the new rules.
Finally, when i thought tat everything is over, it turned out that we have one more cempetition, the relay race. I took part in every game, so at the end of the day i was tired, but i tried to do my best for the team. In result i fell up in Radomir's leg when we changed. Regardless on my faillure, i enjoyed this day.

We presented a lot of outcomes, like:
  • undertaking new challenges
  • working collaboretively with others
  • showed perseverance and commitment in our activities
  • and also i developed a new skill (i am not that bad in football as i thought)

Collecting garbage in the Bitsevsky Park

Before I came into Moscow I had heard that this is a much more cleaner city than other large cities all over the world. Actually I can compare Moscow only with a few European cities, but I can say the gossip was right. In fact I’ve only seen the city centre so I was excited to see the suburb areas.

Today, on the 3rd of September, the 12th and the 13th class went to collect the garbage in to a park near our school. We were working in groups of four so we had to work collaboratively with others. Our group decided to clean up bottles, cans and plastic rubbish because these materials’ break-down take the longest and they’re recyclable. Later in the school we divided the garbage unto recyclable (which we’ve taken to a recycling machine) and no recyclable part (which was thrown out).

I think it was an interesting exercise engaged with issues of global importance and teamwork. The cleaning up in such a small area made understand that the rubbish is a global problem.
