LO1 Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

I found it was quite difficult as first to gift wrap the presents as i was presented with some odd shapes that i had never wrapped before. I was supposed to wrap a hula hoop and at first i found it quite frustrating as i had no idea where to start and how i was supposed to wrap it with the wrapping paper that did not even go around the whole things. I ended up teaming up with the other gift wrappers and together with our gift-wrapping teacher, she taught us how to wrap circular objects and from that we learnt and followed her instructions by taping 2 large pieces of wrapping paper together, one on the bottom and one on the top and then folding the paper inwards so that it would fit around the circular shapes the hoop. My goal after completing this activity was that i would be more experienced in gift wrapping as well having been able to understand, learn and reciprocate actions that have been taught to me under a short amount of time. I believe that i am now more than capable in wrapping presents in all sorts of shapes ad sizes. I have also been able to be  understand and learn the skills taught to me and reciprocate them by to just gift wrapping by myself but also by teaching others how to gift wrap.

LO5 Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively

By working with others, i have learnt how to work collaboratively as that is the best possible way when trying to do something that you may not be able to achieve on your own. I have also been able to improve my communication skills by talking with the customers that wanted their gifts wrapped and asking for their certain preferences or style in how they wanted their presents wrapped. Using the communication skills as well as the ability to understand, learn and reciprocate under a short amount of time will enable me in future CAS activities to complete certain tasks required with a speedy approach and a thorough understanding of what is to be completed.
