WEEK 2

Tuesday 15th September 2020:

Today was my first online session on teams and it went really well. Getting onto the call was confusing at first but I gave myself time before hand to work out the teams lay out. In the first online session I learnt how to use Wix to create a website. I had never heard of Wix before but I was told clearly step by step exactly what I needed to do. At points I really struggled but I refereed to the demonstration power point I had been given on teams and I worked things out from there. For my first time creating a website I think I did a really good job but it definitely needs improvements and I'm excited to see it come along and improve each week.

In the second part of the online session, we worked on a swot sheet, to start with I had no clue what a swot sheet was but as I was given the document to fill out I realised it meant strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. I was a little bit confused as I think I mixed up my skills with qualities. I definitely need to work on this in next weeks session and go into more depth with my explinations.

This morning we started in the theatre to find there were many safety hazards set up, we individually walked round taking note of the hazards we could spot. At first I really struggled to spot any obvious hazards. We then shared our answers with the rest of the class to fill in any empty boxes on our health and safety sheet.

I then volunteered to partner up with a classmate to move the ladder and rig a light. This was really helpful and I'm glad I volunteered to do it because I reminded myself of the important safety rules of putting a ladder up.

The group then gathered to watch the demonstration of how to safely use the tower. I didn't get time to climb the tower as we ran out of time but I watched plenty of demonstrations and I'd feel confident to have a go. Hopefully I can have a go next week.

Later on in the morning, we had another sewing session. As my target for this week was to feel more confident with a sewing machine, I felt really glad to be using the sewing machines again because I enjoyed it last week. We practised straight stitch and zigzag and the effects of each. I want to continue using the sewing machines because I've always wanted to learn how to use one

This morning was the morning of the read through, in which I ensured I had my Alice script and had highlighted the correct lines. I felt a bit nervous as I don't see myself as a strong reader. during the read through my nerves soon went and I felt comfortable reading out loud, I think I did a good job, I made sure to speak with a clear and projected voice.

In the afternoon, we all had individual tasks so complete, I worked on my character development. I asked my class partner (who is a year 2) to briefly explain and breakdown the questions. This was really helpful and I managed to complete a large section.

Later on in the afternoon, we completed more theory tasks in which I carried on with my character development and then moved onto another task within unit 1. I actually enjoyed this theory work as I really like working independently and getting work done with no distractions.

Target: My target for next week is to improve my swot sheet for the online session and complete any outstanding tasks and homework.

Another general target I have is to focus on getting to know more of my class mates, i really enjoyed working with new people this week and I hope to mix with others and have an opportunity to work with new people in a group task.
