Considering the nature of your resources

Carry out an audit of the resources required for the setting up and running of your festival.

(You may wish to break into groups to complete this task; each group considering one of the areas identified below and reporting back to the class.)

We are planning to get a bouncy castle; it will be outside in the playground as it will take up a lot of space/ Archery will also take place outside as it is dangerous. We are also planning to have a nail and a face painting bar, which will take inside n a class room, and in that same classroom there will be a balloon maker. There will also be another class room open where a film would be shown, and we will buy a popcorn machine and make the popcorn ourselves to give out to those watching the film and one last class room where homemade food be purchased. Some of out creative and media students will also like to do a photo-shoot; this will be in the school gym as we need to make sure the space is big so none of the equipment such the camera don’t get knocked down by people. Lastly there will a stage where performance will take place, and around that we hold stalls from, different organisation.

The bouncy castle will be outside with the archery and this is a safety hazard especially for young people this is why it will be in a corner, away from where archery is taking place to avoid any danger. The nail/face painting and the balloon will be in the same classroom and because the classroom is not that big, it may be dangerous to have children moving around a packed classroom. This is why we will take out the table and chairs from that classroom to give them more space and just keep two tables that will be used to keep the nail and face painting equipment and 4 chairs around each table, maybe four or five in a line in the corner for people to sit while they are waiting to get their nail or face painted. The classroom where the cinema will be, we will remove the tables and have chairs only so people can sit comfortable and watch. We will also make the room dark to bring in the atmosphere. The Stage where the performance will take place is already there so no change needs to be done about that except making sure there are no loose wires hanging around during the performance in case any of the performers or audience trip and fall over.

The bouncy castle, archery, nail/face painting bar (people), and the balloon maker will need to be hired. We also need to buy the popcorn and the popcorn machine. Everything else should already be available in school, for example the drum kit that the performance can be hired from the music department.

The equipment will be set up by the volunteers on Friday afterschool (a day before the festival). There also be staff helping and watching the volunteers because some equipment can be dangerous, for example, the archery kit.

3 Materials:

We have about a thousand pound to spend. We will use this money effectively by changing things so less money can be spent on it. We start by buying a popcorn machine so we don’t need to buy a lot of popcorn as they are expensive we can just make them ourselves. Also the food that will be sold can be home-made so that it is fresh and doesn’t cost that much money. Most equipment such as camera and the equipment needed for performance can be borrowed from different departments in school, such as media and music department.

Human resources:

We have a lot of strengths with in our group, some of us are really good and communicating with people, some are really organised and others are very listening to people and there’s a problem and reacting very quickly to come up with solution. We also have some weaknesses but are weaknesses are someone else’s strengths, for example, I am really not organised but that is someone else’s strength so she can help me out if I need any help.

We will each have a role in which we are responsible for, the festival will be divided in to three groups, performing arts, visual arts, and other. With in each category we will have different roles, so some in performing arts category may be in charge of making sure they hire the equipment or borrow them and that they are there on time on the day and others may hold audition to find students inside and outside of school to perform.

We will need help from outside of the school from some specialist such as the nail beauticians, face artist, balloon maker and outdoor centre experts to help out with the archery.
