Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God.

As our CAS activity we are learning gardening. As I have mentioned before, gardening is a new challenge for me. So I am slowly learning the skill that is needed for gardening. 
This time we groomed our school's front garden. We removed the weeds from the garden. I still haven't properly learned to pull the weed out from the soil. When I pull, the roots they do not come out which is actually suppose to happen. Our gardner tried to teach me the technique but I still haven't aced it. Hopefully I will learn soon!
We also cleaned the school premises by picking up the plastic pieces and twigs of trees. One new thing we did was mowing the lawn using a lawn mower. The mower was very heavy. That is why I couldn't use it for a long time but I did try!
It was a tiring day! But we enjoyed.
Till next time :)

Sports do not build character. They reveal it.

Sports is something that people of all ages enjoy. You can either enjoy by watching them of participating in them. This tine, we enjoyed our schools sports event by helping.
As a part of our CAS activity, we helped the teachers organize the sport events. 
It is said "Great acts are made up of small deeds". We contributed our help in little ways to make the sports event a success. 
We DP students got the best job we could think of! Yes! we had to help the teachers organize the sports event for the primary children. Oh children! how delightful it is to watch them play! They truly are a bundle of joy! We had to make tracks on the basket ball ground which was pretty hard as the ground was big and one person would start drawing the line from one end and second person from another. So one one end there was me and on the other end was Rucha, my junior. We both worked together and drew the lines on the court. They were not perfectly straight but we did an acceptable job. 
After drawing the tracks, our job was to take the participants and make them stand at the start of their respective tracks. The kids did the frog race, running race also skipping race.
Turn by turn we stood at the finish line holding a red ribbon which when crossed first by an participant would be declared as the winner of the race. 
We had fun while organizing the event and we also learned a things like working as a team, organizing things and also how to interact better with children. It was  fun activity!

Till next time :)
