Planning and Carrying out a Team Project


Our Brain Storm

This is our brain storm of the ideas we have come up with to do our event.

        Disco        Water Fight

Mini Olympics        Band Camp

Trip to Alton Towers

Trip to Chesington World of Adventures

Initially we had to carry out a brain storm of ideas to outline all of our ideas and to pick the one that we as a group can conduct effectively.

The criteria we had to keep in mind was that we had to involve the lower School children, the event had to happen in an opening of 2 hours and the event would have to be running on a Wednesday.

Keeping this in mind we had to scrap the following ideas:

  • Trip to Alton Towers
  • Trip to Chesington World of Adventures

As our competing group was doing a disco we had to scrap that idea.

We all agreed on the mini Olympics, as it was easy and would tie in the same category as PE.

We now had to agree on the sports we were going to use in this, the criteria we had was the Hartsdown Hall and only 7 courts in it.

So we decided:

        Hockey

        Cricket

Table Tennis

        Football        Target Shooting

Tennins        Running

Badminton        Tug of War

Swimming        Basketball

        BaseBall        


We have now chosen our task completely and we are now in the process of starting our groups organisation.

This is the way in which we as our group will be working, we have divided the work in four sections to compliment each other.

The Human resources will be dealing with the staff required such as:

  • Harts down staff
  • Teachers
  • Extra helpers

The finances department will be dealing with raising money and spending the money.

Physical resources are the items required such as:

  • Hall
  • Sports Equiptment
  • Travel

The legal section is generally to make sure that the venue is insured for such an event. Also whether the venue is fit for this purpose, To find out whether a venue if fit for a certain purpose people in this industry carry out a risk assessment. our risk assessment was carried out by our chairman John Benfield.


Objectives

Task 1

The objective of this task is to organise a logical and coherent business plan to which we can run a leisure and recreational activity in a group.

Our aim is to organise a mini Olympics event for the children in our school, we a choice of children in Year 7 or children in Year 8. We have chosen 60 pupils form the year 8 PE class, we will have to run the event on a Wednesday afternoon between 2:15pm and 4pm this restricts our time to only 1:45 mins.

            Description

We will be arranging a mini Olympics for the year eights in our school. The event will consist of the following :

12:30        The children will get changed into their PE equipment and go to lessons

2:15pm        Gather the children on school grounds

2:20pm        Get in the bus to go to Hartsdown

3:30pm        Change sports

3:45pm        Change sports

A few days later we will present prizes to the children for winning and praise them for taking part.

Financing

We have decided to pay for the whole event ourselves by raising the money through various events, we are trying to organise a name the teddy competition and a guess the sweets competition. Along with those we will be running a cake sale and a sweets shop. Making sure we don’t sell anything already sold by the tuck shop.

We have reached a bill of £300 for the whole event this will include the following charges:

  1. Hiring the hall.
  2. Giving everyone a snack and a drink.
  3. Buying medals and certificates.

The costs are estimated as follows:

  1. £90.00
  2. £50.00
  3. £50.00

we are hoping to raise a minimum of £200 to budget any further unexpected costs.

This is how we will be raising money:

Physical Resources

For this event we have now decided to book a hall at the Hartsdown Leisure Centre, this will cost us money which is all being done for by the finance section:

The Equiptment needed for the sports

 The total equiptment we will be requiring is

Basketball

 Rules

The rules for the basketball will be that the year eights will be split in to two teams with five on each side of the net, their task is to dribble through a set of cones diagonal to the net, if the hit any cones then they don’t get any points but each cone they successfully pass they will gain one point. When they pass all cones they will take a shot at the net, they can take this shot anywhere before the net. If they don’t get it in then they don’t get a point but if they hit the basket ring they will get one point but if they get it in they will get five points. As they catch the ball after trying to score some points they will then run to the other team and pass them the ball, then run to the back of the other team. The other team will then do this process again from the opposite side of the net. When each team has done this three times they will stop and gather up all their points.

Safety instructions

  1. The opposite team must be watching for the other player to pass them the ball.
  2. Make sure they don’t throw the ball too hard at both the back board and opposing team players

Equipment

The equipment, which we will have to use, will be basketball nets, balls and a set of cones.

Scoring

To score points the team players will have to dribble around each cone without hitting them, each cone they successfully pass they will get one point. Also they will get points by shooting at the basketball net. The scores for shooting will be that if you hit the basketball ring you will get one point but to get five points you have to score in the net, these scores will add on to the dribbling scores and will be added up at the end with your whole team.

Hockey

Rules

Two schools will play against each other; they each have a team ‘a’ and a team ‘b’. The schools two ‘a’ teams will play against each other and will dribble a ball in and out of six plastic cones with their hockey sticks. The teams will have to wait behind the start line until the whistle is blown and then the race will be timed with a stopwatch. They will have to race to the sixth cone and then dribble back again to the beginning to hand over to the next person. Once all ten team members are finished their team must sit down in a line and wait for the other team to finish.

 

Safety instructions  

  1. The person who is currently dribbling with the ball must be careful that they don’t collide with the opposing team on the other side
  2. The person waiting for his turn must be patient and wait behind the line for his team member to hand the hockey stick and ball.

Equipment

1. Six plastic cones 2. White tape (to measure starting line) 3. Two wooden hockey sticks 4. Sponge ball 5. Stopwatch 6. Whistle

Scoring  

The teams will gain one point for each cone they successfully dribble past but they will not gain a point if they hit a cone. A maximum of up to twelve points could be awarded if they dribble in and out of the cones.  

Football

Rules         

Two teams will play against each other head to head in a football dribbling competition. Each member of the team will take it in turn dribbling in and out six plastic cones and then when they have reached the sixth cone ...
