Future CAS ideas

My goals and ideas for future CAS experiences:

ACTIVE CAS:

-I want to continue with Zombies, Run! and particularly the 5 kilometer training programme in order to improve my physical abilities

-I want to continue swimming for the same reason, and as I enjoy it very much

-I will soon start going to the gym again

-As a new idea, I would like to start archery-practice as soon as I get my own bow. I will do this with a friend, as she has a range we can use and it is something I have never really tried, but would like to be good at.

SERVICE CAS:

-I plan on participating as much as I can in what the school offers as ideas for service projects when I am able.

-I also want to start seeking out places I can help myself, and I have a few ideas in regard to my own city (Hornslet) where I want to ask if I can help in the second-hand store and possibly church (especially around Christmas time)

CREATIVE CAS:

-I want to keep drawing and painting to explore and develop my artistic skills

-I wish to practice art in different mediums; Like trying canvases, painting on leaves and other nature-related objects etc.

-I want to develop my skills as a photographer by taking pictures of nature and also of people, perhaps asking some classmates to be ‘models’ for some shoots in the future

Zombies, Run!

Category: Active

Type: Idea

So, most of those whom i go to IB1 with will know this game from me by now, because i will not stop talking about it and that is also why it is getting it’s own idea post.

So this game is an app for iphone/android, where there is both a free and paying version - I myself am paying for it after trying out the free one and loving it.

This is an exercise game, and the first thing that has actually motivated me to get going outside almost every day. The idea is to put on GPS/a stepcounter and then the game works by the player actually walking or running in real life. It is an interractive story played out in a podcast format through your headphones where the person playing is a character during the zombie apocolypse. You are then sent on missions to save the world, while your own playlist plays within storyparts.

The smart thing about this in relation to CAS is that it registers how far you walk in which amount of time and it even calculates an average time per kilometer. If you have GPS on, it records your route!

You can add chases, in which you will suddenly get a warning message and will start getting chased by zombies (to which, of course, there will be zombie noises getting closer in your headphones) and you need to run a certain distance to escape them and keep alive. 

Fantastic game, I can only recommend it for both CAS and free time! At least I am now addicted to the most healthy game I ever thought i would encounter.

(I have also already collected CAS using this - documentation and pictures will come soon!)

The CAS project starts now!

Hello there, this is Sofie K. from Grenaa Gymnasium, IB1 and this is where my record of the collection of CAS will be recorded in the time from 2015/2017!

I will write things I plan to do, ideas for myself and classmates to see and progress and pictures of things done, adding my own small comments to them as well.

From now and two years ahead, it should be a fun progress :’D Feel free to get inspired or to just have a look!
