Working With Others (24th November 2017)

This week our group split into smaller teams and done some individual tasks. This was doing things like creating floor plans for the event and also helping the other teams make decisions regarding there activities.

Some members had a difficult task due to some of the level 4/5 students having disagreements about their teams activity which they thought that our class being level 6 had to sort out. This led to not as much work  as we had hoped getting done as we had to stop and start throughout the morning to try and help them solve problems. We eventually got our lecturers involved to sort out the problems because we felt that it wasn't our job to do that.

Our group worked well every week as a team.

Working With Others Week 3 (17 November 2017)

This week we were made aware that there is going to be changes to our project. We have decided as a class and level 4/5 that we are still going to have our winter multi-cultural festival but we are going to have it just for ourselves and the business classes on the week we break up for Christmas. This decision was made because there have been issues with the charity that we were meant to be doing this event for.

Working With Other Week 2 (10/11/2017)

Our team decided to have a meeting with Bob Prentice to ask him whether it would be possible to have use of the kitchen so that we could cook for our festival.
Sean and I, tried to sort out the rooms because they hadn't been booked but had to get our lecturers help because we didn't know what to do. We also created a poster for the event and did a presentation.

Working With Others Blog Week 1 (27 October 2017)

On the 27th of October we began our working with others project. I was off this week but my team made progress and told me what they did when I came back to college.

My team is the Admin team. The team members are:
  • Freya
  • Kat
  • Amanda
  • Ally

On this day my team made some decisions these were:

  • Discussed possible roles that were needed and assigned these roles to the members that were in college that day.
  • Sean created a draft email so that we could book rooms that were required
  • The group will assign roles to other team members when they return to college
  • Asked necessary questions on future tasks
  • We created a shared folder on google drive
  • We filled in paperwork

My Final Review (Nathan Whyte)

My final review of the photo booth, we did not have any health and safety risks on the day as we had already discussed any risks there would be with Beth. We also had ally from photography who set up the photo booth for us and taking the pictures so there was no risks involved.

We worked brilliantly as a team we all had our own roles though we always helped one another out  if someone was struggling. We all contributed something to make the photo booth a success. We always had a group meeting before starting the planning of the event so if anyone had any questions or worry's we would discuss as group making sure we all gave each other advice. This was also the same when coming up with ideas for the event each person would get there say and them we come to a decision at the end if we thought it would work or not.  We all supported one another and never had any problems.

I enjoyed working with the team and the other teams to make the event a success to raise money for the JAK DENS charity. It has also giving me the confidence to plan another event in the future. There was nothing that i didn't really enjoy the whole event was a great day and enjoyed every part of it from the planning to the day of the event.

My biggest strength was helping get people into to use the photo booth as i was worried about asking people who i did not know to come and use the booth though on the day i was not worried in the slightest and achally enjoyed talking to other members of the college and encouraging them to use the photo booth.  I do not think i had any weakness during the activity part from one absence though the team updated me on everything the next week.

I will feel confident in the future planning an even as now i no the steps to take when planning and event. I also think this will be useful for any other charity events I may be planning.   After working well in a team i think this will benefit me when i am employment to confidently work well with others in a team. I wont be as worried when dealing with other members of the college as i feel i was pretty confident.

My main thing I hoped to achieve was to be more confident working with other people. I feel i achieved this by working with the level 5's  in my team and the other teams to make the event an success by contributing my ideas and getting involved in class discussions. My role in the group was varied witch i enjoyed as receptive tasks can get boring so enjoyed doing a bit of everything. Though i did really enjoy design the golden ticket and poster using a new software i had never used before.

The Day Of The Event (Nathan Whyte)

On the day of the event we had Ally from photography help set up the photo booth witch was a great help. My role on the day of the event was to get people to come and use the photo booth witch we did mange to do though not as many as we had hoped as it was the end of term the college was not as busy as it usually is. I also helped the other stalls set up  and make sure they had all the prizes laid out on the tables. It was a great day all in and was a great laugh seeing every one trying on the funny props and am glad the event was a success.
