Today's International Day was a lot more entertaining than I actually expected since being in charge of an activity and entertaining other kids from different year group was an interesting experience. I think we were very reflective and quick-to-act since we tried to find ways to make our activities last longer so that the children wouldn't be bored and we kept on evolving on that so that we filled the whole time without any long pauses and I think that is one of the reasons we had so much positive feed-back from the students. We were well-organised since we had all the equipment we needed for our activity and we knew exactly what we were going to do. Our activities were well chosen since it provided knowledge as well as entertainment which is what we had to do and it proved very successful.
I think that if we were going to do this again, we should plan everything out since we changed the planning of activities several times before International Day and that caused some confusion and waste of time. I think that if we were going to test others with their music knowledge, we should have a collection of songs that they would know since most of them they had no idea what the name of the song is and that was one of the problems we had which the students found not so good. Also we should be more focused on decorations as well since our room wasn't as colourful as others e.g. the group next door to our room which was very well decorated and very attractive.
Considering the reaction of the people we were entertaining, we did a good job since throughout the day as we developed techniques to improve our activities people seemed to really enjoy the time they had with our group since we were all laughing and having a good time. The music we put on in the background kept a dynamic atmosphere which was very pleasant to work in since I think all of us were motivated by it, including the students.
Overall, I look forward to doing this again next year cause it was an amazing experience which taught me new skills, to work well with others, to consider the cultural background of others and I undertook a new challenge.

Activties like this are not easy. That take a lot of planning and it's hard to anicipate what problems might occur but you all did really well, very well indeed.
