Moscow International Peace Marathon

 On 18th of September, the Moscow International Peace Marathon was taking place in the centre of Moscow, near to the Red Square. Teachers in our school participate there every year, so they proposed us, year 12, to take part in this activity with them. The ones who wanted, me including, passed in some documents, like medical insurance and the paper from the doctor, saying that the student is able to participate. This documents were needed, because obviously not everyone can run the quarter of a marathon (10,7 km).
 Before the run I was keeping myself fit by running in the park near to my house 7 km every day. Every new run my time result was getting less and less, so I improved my running skills .
 On 18th of September I met with the teachers and some other students from our school  the Red Square, near to the marathon's start. We got our unique numbers, my was 2486, and were preparing for the long run. I showed a lot of perseverance running the marathon, I used my good running skills and as a result I came the first from all students from our school. It took me a bit more than 49 minutes to run almost 11 kilometers, and I think that it is a very good result.

Sports Day

 On the 15th of September we had a 'Sports day' in our school. To help organizing the Sports Day the IB diploma student were devided into 4 different houses, named after famous russian writers: Pushkin, Chekhov, Gogol and Tolstoy. Each house had a captain and wise captain, and their responsibility was to make team for each sport from each grade, and additionally thy had to present a mascot of the house and to decide a celebration song.
 We had different sport activities, they are:  football, basketball, dodgeball,volleyball, tomeball, sprint running and 1 km run. Personally, as I was a wise captain of my house, so I wished to encourage youger students to be more active and participative, thus I have taken part in each of the activity, working collaboratively with my team. Me and the captain we were solving such problems like structuring the teams for different sports, considering everyone's skills and making the beneficial sport strategies. I can assume that I have learned new skills like playing dodgeball and tomeball and that I have developed the old ones which are running, playing basketball and football.
 We were the second out of four and I think that it is a good start for our house, Pushkin.
