We, the students of IBDP took the initiative to develop the sports field for our school which, due to some reason were not prepared. Having no playground was really sad as our little kids at school had to run about in the corridor or hop around in the small stony patch which was functioning as the only clear area. So we decided to build our sports ground under the guidance of our PE Teacher, Mr. Jackson Joy. We started with our research process, referring to many books and internet for the dimension of various sports fields.
Along with my classmates, I got involved in making a volleyball court, a football field, a cricket pitch and a 400 metre track around it. I have done lot of research on the dimension and marking of sports field. So I came to know that for standard International court dimension for football is between 110 to 120 yards in length and between 70 to 80 yards in width, for volley ball the length is 18 mts and width is 9 mts First, we decided the location for the football , volleyball and cricket ground. The ground available for us was measuring 173mts by 83mts.
After finalizing the location, we marked a football ground of 80 mts by 45mts and fixed the football post and decided to leave the space left for the cricket ground.
I feel that Ground development is a real task as it requires lot of physical effort and knowledge. Through this activity I gained knowledge of dimension of various field, I am very happy to be associated with this work as it will not only help me to use this information for building up such fields in future but my junior school friends will be benefited from these grounds and we will be remembered forever for this great work.
The added bonus was that, the new sporting fields have started to attract even those reluctant unsporting people to come and join in games like Volleyball, football, etc.
The learning outcome is that I have got a new skill of how make basket ball court or football ground. I enhanced the skill of how to get information and how to apply it to make foundation of the ground. The ethical implication involved in this activity is that this ground will be utilized by the other students of the school. This ground will act as a platform for them to enhance the skill of sports.

Hi Trisha,
I like the reflection but there is an important thing that you have left out. You started so abruptly and the post does not give us any clue at all about where the ground development took place, why did you have to start on this project and what is going to be the end outcome of such an activity. Remember, your reader needs to know the history behind it, or else it remains a mystery!!!
