Monday Morning- The activity that i did this morning was taking down posters and replacing them with new ones with Mia and Maisie. At the start of the day we were put with a different job so i think that is bad because it shows disorganization to what we were doing. But once we were doing we got to the arts department and we were working together to take them off the wall and then replace the Velcro that was holding them then we made sure that there was a gap the same distance between them and we also made sure that they were all level with each other when we put the poster up. For example please see the pictures that Mia has for proof. As we were doing the job this morning we didn't need any PPE because it was a simple task even though i thorough that we could have tripped on the posters because they were really slippy but in the end we didn't because we were careful where we placed them on the floor. Monday Afternoon- The activity that i did this afternoon was some odd jobs around college. The first job that i did was find some photos on the internet to go with something else that we were doing on sustainability. Then after that there was me, Josh,Jack W, Conner and Max left in the class room so we went out and about with Gill to go and collect used coffee cups and bring them back to the class room. The PPE that we needed was to wear a glove on the hand that was going in the bin because it is for hygiene purpose.

today I took part in clearing the college garden which looked like a over grown crowded mess full of piles of sticks branches and litter! we started my clearing the sticks and putting them into bins and dumped them into a skip. I feel like it was very successful as we worked as a team, so we where able to clear a large amount of the garden as we had the right PPE and equipment. however for next time I will ensure I have sun block and googles as you can easily get poked in the eye... at lunch time we organized a car wash which went well although we only had one car but still money for the hospice. in the afternoon we went through bins collecting recyclable cardboard cups which went well as I was able to salvage many to be recycled. so over all I feel like today was very productive and I was able to 'give back' to college.  Josh Kennedy.

14th of May, Mia and Maisie putting up posters in the Art college, there was no health and safety risks in this task apart from we just had to make sure we didnt leave the box of posters in the way of people walking as it was a trip hazzard, we worked well together, each alternating roles which allowed us to achieve it in our allocated time. Everything went to plan apart from the velcro on the walls was to far apart for the posters so we had to change the way we put them on, other than this everything went to plan.

Today I took part in cleaning the whiteboards and looking for coffee cups to recycle. Cleaning the whiteboards entailed using cloths and water to wipe down whiteboards in tow class rooms. Despite us being able to complete this task it did take a while as some of the boards had permanent marker on them. We also made sure that we had all the correct PPE. I think that overall it was successful as all the whiteboards were cleaned to a high stranded despite the amount of time it took. Also, I looked for coffee cups to recycle. This entitled looking for used coffee cups around the college in able to, ultimately, recycle them. We were able to collect multiple cups which means a positive outcome for this task. We had the appropriate PPE which made this task more efficient.

Jess H, Ellie Jo, Jack H, Sarah and Rich spent the day varnishing all 8 boxes on the side of college. Initially, they were really worn and now look a considerable amount better. We all worked together, in groups of 2 and 3, and finished in good time and double checked to make sure we hadn’t missed anything. The only thing we could have done better was to have been a little more prepared before hand. We made some mess however we were resourceful and used our initiative to clean up. This was the box before we had painted it:

Today I worked with Linda, we baked scones with the students and did some writing activities and played snakes and ladders. It was quite good I felt forfilled with the help I gave students and what we did, even though it was quite slow moving and repetitive it was still good and I would do the same thing next time as I feel we all worked well as a group and let the students still be independent whilst supporting them

Tuesday morning- What we did on Tuesday was I started off doing lanyard duty which was standing there and making sure that people came in with their lanyard on because they are meant to be on when they come into the college. As well as that we distributed the surveys on sustainability around college at times. As we were doing that I had the pile of surveys in my hands so I could have got a paper cut because I had a t shirt on so I could have cut my arm as well. Also in between the giving out of the surveys I helped Mia and Jane with a poster to go on the side of a trolley to show how many coffee cups we have collected throughout the work. Tuesday Afternoon- What we did on Tuesday was we distributed the surveys on sustainability around college at times. As we were doing that I had the pile of surveys in my hands so I could have got a paper cut because I had a t shirt on so I could have cut my arm as well.

Today I took part in helping sort out the garden in the rear of the college campus. This involved collecting branches that have been cut down by the estates staff and moving them into a skip. The job was done effectively and efficiently with correct use of PPE. Despite the job being a bit tedious. In all, i feel as if the job was completed to the best standard that we were capable of.

Gareth, Evan, Jorja, jess l, molly, josh and hazel varnished the smoking shelters at college, thanks to the public services and the give back week we have managed to make the facilities look more presentable and tidy. The team showed good cooperation, substantial commitment and motivation towards the task because we made it fun. However we did run out of varnish towards the end making the shelter look half finished but that isn’t our fault as we relied on estates resources. But all together was a success.

Today we were gardening and had the same objectives as yeaterday.... To complete the task efficiently and effectively. This was successfully completed without any problems. This time we took sun cream with us to prepare for the hot weather.

Today we were gardening again from 10 to 11:30. We were doing the same as yesterday again. So all we had to do was clear sticks and twigs up and take it to skip.
Later on in the day we had to untangle wires and then put them in a not.

At the beginning of the morning, Jess H, Ellie Jo, Sarah and Grace worked together to visit several classrooms and raise awareness for our swap shop. We gave talks in these classrooms and handed out some leaflets then returned to the classroom to sort out 2 bags of stuff which included clothes, sanitary items and hygiene items. We then took them to room 208 while Jess worked on a label for our donation bucket which gathered £71. We also made a box and got permission from the principal to leave it in the refectory where we hope to gather more donations. We would like to use this extra money to help Linda’s Group buy paint for the sensory garden. We didn’t need any PPE this morning and we all worked efficiently and harmoniously together. One thing we could have done better would have been to prepare what we were going to say in our classroom talks.

After gathering our donations, Jess H, Ellie Jo and Sarah headed to town to get our money changed at the bank. Here we met up with Jack H and Rich. After visiting every bank in town, we ended up counting the money and getting it changed in the Cumberland. Once the money was changed, we went to savers and began shopping. Here we bought things such as: sanitary products, toothbrushes, hairbrushes and hygiene products for our “care packages” which we are going to give to College’s most vulnerable students. When we got back to college, we got to work right away and managed to put together 8 packages as well as a girls “take as you wish” box. And we still have plenty of supplies. I think my team worked really well together and should all be proud of ourselves for what we have achieved. However, I do think we should have constructed a list of items to buy rather than just throwing things in the basket and next time Mr ‘I break everything I touch’ (Jack) might not be allowed to handle things that he can break. All in all we had a very productive day.

We hoped that Girls who can’t afford or find themselves without sanitary items when they need can use this box to take what they need. We have also provided things such as a hairbrush, emergency toothpaste, extra shampoo and feminine wash.

As a departement we asked for L3 public services to take on the challenge of sorting the sports cupboard. It was very unorganised with equipment all over the place. This afternoon I returned to the cupboard and what a transformation! The students had done an amazing job, with all equipment sorted into bags and the space cleared. This will make a massive difference. Well done to all involved you have done a brilliant job. Good work!

On Thursday morning Jess H, Ellie Jo, Sarah, Richard and Jack moved everything we had into room 208 which is in the library. When we got there, we found it was completely unorganised and that we would start from scratch. We took everything from the room and refolded it then sorted it into piles. We also added another table. Then dresses and jumpers were hung back up with all coat hangers facing the same way. While Ellie Jo and Sarah worked getting all of the care package equipment out onto the tables, Jess worked on the labels for individual bags and boxes. We also had some photos taken by the college photographer. Once everything was in, we were very pleased. The only thing that didn’t go smoothly was that we had a slight disagreement about where the bags were going to go. Other than that, we couldn’t fault this mornings work. This was the room before we began work:

To our surprise, we ended up cleaning the sports cupboard in the afternoon. And we managed to do so in just over an hour! Which is pretty good going considering the initial state of the cupboard, none of us knew where to start. However once we got into the swing of things we were able to have a laugh and get on at the same time, which I think is a good team quality. My team has worked well all week and this afternoon topped it off nicely. We each did our own area and moved things around as well as trying to sort things into piles as much as we could. The room is now much more spacious and organised and we were glad with the result.
