WoBuLeNzI TrIp 2013!!

Last week, my colleagues and I finally went to WTA as one of our CAS projects this year, through the trip and especially throughout the preparation for the trip I have earned several learning outcomes. One of my group's workshops for the trip was Origami, a Japanese art of folding paper. I have never really expertised in origami or even tried it before therefore, the preparation for it required lots of practicing. I have found it really difficult at the beginning to get the right steps at the right order however after lots of wasted paper, i have developed several techniques and managed to get them in a faster time which i was really glad eventually. Moreover, I was really satisfied overcoming new challenges such as building a shelter out of wood, which is an experience I would not forget. I have found it really challenging at first hammering the woods to each other, lots of strength and accuracy was needed and unfortunately this skill did not come at once... However on the other side another one of our morning activities was painting in which i have tried a couple of time before, therefore it was a great opportunity to further develop my painting skills although the trip has required to paint a larger area then I usually did. Although i have managed to earn several interesting learning outcomes from different activities on the trip, I have managed to practice my teaching and interacting skills. At the beginning of the trip I was not so clear in my speaking and did not really know how to approach the students, however after watching out after every single word i say it even made it easier in teaching them and helping them understand what i really want.
