I thik the four marks will be awarded for:

- An appropiate choice of chart

- An appropiate title

- Easy to read

-  A chart which clearly shows the percentage of the squad, provided by each team.

1. Firstly I take a look at the map and decide what route my 4 bus drivers are going to take. If a destination takes a long time to reach my plan is not to group this with many other stops as this will increase the time my journey takes. In this example one of my journy's will only be Aylesbury + Ipswich. If there are a couple of stops bunched together then I will send one bus driver to pick up from all of these stops , for example Reading + Paddington + Lewisham + Kingston. Overall I plan my 3/4 journeys which each of my bus drivers will take.

2. Afterwards I then import my 'Timings' data. At first I fount it difficult to remember the process of incerting it but with practise im sure I will be able to complete this task in the future very quickly.

3. I then enter the information which I have been given for the number of boys and girls at each location. Simple step. Following on I do a simple calculation which adds the boys and girls together from each location, this is then totalled at the bottom.

4. From this step I stay on the same page and enter in the routes which I think will work. Some of these journys may take 2 or 5 steps depending on how many stops the driver has to make.

5. I then go to the Timetable page and make sure that each depart time has an additional time of 5 minutes because that is how long each driver is prepared to wait for the passengers.

My strategy is:

First I will import the data onto another sheet and link the data to the timetable sheet.

I add the amount of people in each place to the team sheet

To look at the places I need to go, and then begin planning a route on the map. Then using them to try out a route and if it doesn't work then adjust until it does.

My strategy (which is questionable) is to do 2 cities outside of the main centre of the map where paddington, kingston, lewisham and newham are then go inside the centre and visit two towns in there then back to crawley. This would be used for the first 2 buses.

For the third bus i did the big trip from the top of the map to the bottom of the map because they are long journeys therefore i couldnt put in anymore towns.

The last trip i left guidford which is close to crawley then the other two towns on the south east coast. This proved a good solution becasue southend and canterbury are fairly close to eachother and with guildfore being very close to crawley the journey time was prefect.

1. i first found out which stops i didn't have to go to if any
2. then looked at the map to choose paths for the buses based on common sense and what looked like it would work
3. then entered it into the system to check if it will work
4. if they don't work correctly then i would start by changing the start time but not going less than 6:00
5. if this still doesn't work i will change the locations and the order using again common sense
6. this would also be followed again by start time adjustment and this along with the previous step would be repeated until it all worked

• I looked at the map and looked for locations that were close to each other
• I looked for main roads and tried to avoid going through the centre of London (dark shaded area) as it is more congested
• When solving it I left some of the difficult locations (such as Canterbury and Ipswich) until last
• When creating routes involving many locations that are nearby, I had no instances of "no stop". For longer distances or paths far apart, I limited the number of stops to 3 out of a possible 5.
• I started off by setting all the departure times at 6 AM to ensure that each route could make it there if we set off as early as possible (I considered anything before 6 to be unreasonable to ask of the drivers).
• If the route got there early, I'd then adjust the start time until the arrival time was between 11:50 and 12:00. 

1. Mention what you have done

i have added all my sound to a time line and edited it

2. Mention any problems and how you overcame them

i have not had any problems yet

3. Mention whether you are on schedule with what your plan says

i am on scheduale and i plan to finish eraly

I have finished editing all my ring tones and i am on target with my planning calender as the only thing i need to do now is record my voice over and include it in my audacity.

Today, we have been fortunate to watch a history and an English lesson, along wwith a computer lesson that involved gathering the entire class around on, very small computer screen.  We also had the pleasure of sitting and talking to the student council who have taken a number of your letters and are writing replies.  

We have just arrived at our hotel after 33 hours without sleep.  When we left the airport to find our bus, we were harrassed by around 30 men who wanted us to take their taxi and tried grabbing our bags to carry.  Unfortunately, this wasn't an act of chivalry, moreso an act of who could get the money from the tourists first!

Following this excitement, was the excitement of the bus journey.  It resembled something like a rollercoaster of bumper cars all threatening to crash into one another.

On our safe arrival at our hotel, we dumped our bags and went off to take in some of the area's sights and smells and then headed up to St Thomas' to see the students rangoli art: metre squared artwork made by pouring different coloured powder into patterns.

Tomorrow we will head to the school to meet everyone formally.
