Chess club

Today I went to the chess club in my school.
I know how to play chess, but I always wanted to learn how to do it well. So I decided to take the opportunity and do it as one of my CAS activities.

Mr. Cribb taught us some basic thing about this game. For example I learned what is an 'opening' and which different types of them exist. Then we played a game.

Looking back at the game I played today, I should say that I need to spend more time thinking on my next move and strategy of the whole game rather than just the current move.

So I think that this is a good activity for CAS, because it provides an ability to learn new things and develop my skills.

My CAS activities

I must admit that this is not the final list and that I might make changes to it.
These are the activities that I am planning to do regularly.
It does not include occasional activities.

Introduction to CAS

CAS stands for Creativity, Action and Service. It is a part of the IB Diploma programme which I am currently doing. It's main objective is to make students participate in activities that lie out of the school curriculum in order to demonstrate the qualities of a good IB candidate and to aid students becoming well rounded individuals.
Our CAS activities must must achieve learning outcomes:

• Increase a wariness of our strengths and areas for growth
• Undertake new challenges
• Planned and initial activities
• Work collaboratively with others
• Show preseverance and commitment in our activities
• Engage with issues of global importance
• Develop new skills
• Develop qualities stated in the IB learner profile
