School 4 Fair

I had visited the British International school campus 4. Now, I am attending to the British International School campus3 and the school 4 fair is one of the traditions that our school has. Year 12 students in my school go to the school 4 and provide some activities for kids in school 4. This time for the activity I planned 'mini-golf'. Fortunately,I already had all of the equipment that I need since my father really likes to play golf. Since, this is an activity for kids, I concerned about the level of this activities. I thought that it is too difficult for kids. Since the aim of this activity is providing fun to kids in school 4, I decided to make it more easier. I did not want kids to be dissapointed because they didn't make the goal. So, for 1 coupon I gave them 3 chances , if they fail at the first time, then I let them try it more closely to the hole .If they succeeded in it, I gave them candies for the prize.Fortunately, the kids really enjoyed my activity and if they failed, they asked their friends to challenge so that more and more kids came to my activity.
I was really happy that I could provide fun to little children and I think that it was very successful activity. Not only this but also I translated for Korean parents in the school for the service. In lunch time, there were some Korean parents who were selling the Korean food and they asked to translate for the guests. I attracted all of my friends to the Korean food court and introduced the Korean food. They really appreciated to me.

There are some learning outcomes from this activity.
I had planned and initiated activities
I had considered the ethical implication of their actions.

Istra trip

As part of ESS course work we had a trip to Istra which is located outside of Moscow. The hotel that we stayed was located in the middle of forest. So we could do many investigations in there with many plants,animals and insects. On the first day, we spent time to create a map of Istra so that we can get some ideas of Istra's location. On the next day we did some experiments with teachers and on the last day we had to do our own investigation individually. Except these experiments we did many activities including making a boat and sheep herding. By making a boat we could learn about chemical reactions. Also by doing the sheep herding activity we could develop our communication skills. And during the Istra trip I could learn how to do an investigation. For my own investigation I made my own hypothesis and then tried to prove it. The trip was absolutely fantastic and there were so many things that I learnt from it.

• Undertaken new challenges-It was my first time to make a hypothesis and prove it.
• Plan and initiate activities- I planned my own investigation
• Work collaboratively with others- Most of activities and experiments were group activities
• Develop new skills- I learned how to use new equipments

Lunch time 'Insanity workout" club & After school 'Badminton club'

For CAS activity, I joined two sports clubs in my school. One is working out club in lunch time and the another one is badminton club after school. The working out club was ran by three IB students and I was really interested in this club and joined it. These three students downloaded videos for the working out and told us what to do. I followed them and I could gain muscles from this club.
The another club that I did in this term was badminton club. The supervisor of this club is Mr.Mann but actually IB students including me are running this club. I attracted many students for this badminton club. Before we start this club I always set up the nets and then cleaned the nets after the club. If there are new students I taught them some rules and how to play it. Many students enjoyed this club
By joining and running these clubs there were some learning outcomes

• Increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth
• Worked collaboratively with others
• Shown perseverance and commitment in my activities
• Developed new skills

Making a coffee

Since I really like drinking coffees I was really interested in making coffee. In this term, I bought a machine and coffee beans for making coffee for my self.

First of all I ground coffee beans and then put it in the coffee machine. Also I put 1 cup of water (about 200ml) in the coffee machine. I press the button and then waited for 5minutes so that the machine extract coffee.

While I was waiting for the machine, I made bubbles of milk because I wanted to make a cappuccino. I boiled milk first and then I used a tool for making bubbles. If I boil the milk it is much easier to make bubbles. After I finished making bubbles I put it in the coffee extract from the machine and some caramel liquid and sugars. It tasted so good.

There were some learning outcomes from this activity.

• Undertaken new challenges
• Developed new skills

Cooking a chicken

In this term, I decided to bake a cake for 'creativity' but since I could not get some stuff for baking a cake I decided to learn to cook another food. I have a machine for frying foods so I decided to cook a chicken.
 FIrst of all, I prepared chickens, and powder for chickens. and then I covered chicken with the powder and waited for 15 minutes for the powders covering the chicken perfectly.

I put oils in the machine and waited for boiling. When the oils started to boil I put chickens in there and waited for about 15minutes.  15minutes later I checked if the chickens are ripen or not. I learned that if chickens are not ripen it can cause serious diseases so I checked if the chicken is red or not. I made sure that it was perfectly ripen and then took it out from the machine.

                                                                 
 After I took it out from the machine I divided 8 chickens in to 4 and then for half of them I covered some special sauce.

Going to the gym "world class"

There is a gym called 'world calss' in Novie chereyomusky. I attend to this gym every wednesday and weekend.There are so many sports that I can do in this fitness center including swimming,tennis etc. But in this term I decided to work out in this gym.

 There are 3 steps that I use my energy. When I start exercising my body starts to use carbohydrate and after my body used all of the carbohydrate my body starts to use proteins for exercising. Protein is the nutrient for making muscles. and the last nutrient that is used for exercising is fat. So when I arrive at the gym I start running machine to run for 40mins. By running I can use all of my carbohydrate and then I start to weight-training so that I can make muscles. after this I start to run again so that I can burn my fat. In this term I repeated this same working out. 

There are many learning outcomes from this. 

• I had increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth
• I had shown perseverance and commitment in my activities
• I had undertaken new challenges.

Donating clothes & books

Since I am a christian, I attend to a Korean church in Moscow. There is a system that we donate clothes and books or any other stuffs that poor people and orphans might need in our church. If we donate them they are sent to Korean orphanage or church that provides stuff for very cheap price.  So this term, I decided to donate books and clothes that I do not use in now days. I donated about 10 clothes including pants and shirts and 20 books including novels and comic books.

 People in the church said that these books will be donated to the library of an orphanage and the clothes will be sent to the same orphanage and if there will be no one who wants my clothes it will be sent to the church that provide stuffs for very cheap price. It is very similar to the jumble sale that I did in my school. 

 Through this service I learnt that useless things for me will be very useful to others.There were some learning outcomes from this activity. I had considered the ethical implications of my action. Also, since I donate the clothes and books they can be used one more time so I had engaged with issues of global importance
