EMC session

Due to the upcoming IB exams, the second years have finished with their respective services.
For my service, this means that the first years take over and run the sessions.
Yesterday I had my first one.
Together with Anna (Wales) and Donald (Sierra Leone) I organised and lead a session of 'indoor Olympics'.
The group we were working with was from Castle school in Wales and comprised of 11 students with a range of learning disabilities.
We split them into three groups (France, Italy and Germany) and participated in all sorts of Olympic games: jousting was with hug foam arrows, caber-tossing (which is not actually an Olympic sport) was with cushions, discus with Frisbees, along with all sorts of relays.
We had planned a fair amount of activities, however after meeting the group we realised that some of the activities would not work as we planned. So we had to make up many of the games on the spot.
For each event they won, we put a sticker by their name and at the end of the evening we had an medal ceremony where everyone got a medal made of old CDs.
Success!
