How did I increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth?
Skiing is a sport I had only tried twice and I noticed that an area of growth would be to take more lessons, and gain the confidence to try black runs and slalom, all of which was covered in my lessons.
How did I undertake new challenges?
Red slopes, black slopes and slalom courses.
How did I plan and initiate activities?
I initiated my skiing lessons with Giuseppe and practiced my skills on the black slopes in my free time.
How did I work collaboratively with others?
I had to work collaboratively with my teacher in order to build my confidence on the slopes.
How did I show perseverance and commitment on my activity?
I showed perseverance and commitment through increasing the difficulty of the slopes despite my fear of heights, and I skied every day.
How did I engage with issues of global importance?
This activity made me think about climate change and the effect that this would have on the skiing industry, because of the increased CO2 in the environment, and my effect on this problem because of my travelling abroad to ski.

How did I consider the ethical implications of my actions?
I considered the impact of my travelling abroad to participate in a sporting activity, and the impact this would have on environmental factors. I also thought about the effect that the ski resort had on neighbouring villages and houses, and the disruption it must cause them.
How did I develop new skills?
Improved my fitness through skiing and my coordination.
