A coin for a thought

                                  A coin for a thought

On 13th of December 2018 was the last day of this semester for GNCT lecture our lecturer gave us a different  very important activity. First of all our lecturer collected a coin from each one of us and the coins were put into a purse. Then our lecturer explained the activity.

Then the purse was rotated through the class and the moment where our lecturer tapped the table, the person with the purse had to takeout a coin and he had to say the year that was printed on the coin. Thereafter the person with the coin had to tell his or her memories that related to that year. This was very entertaining.

The session was going awesome. My fellow mates brought out their remarkable memories when they got the chance to present their memories. Those were very funny and some are very interesting.

Unfortunately I haven't got the chance in this time. But I enjoyed this session by listening to my friends' stories.

So the last session for first year was ended by this activity and all those sessions gave us valuable lessons and good precious memories. So all these sessions were awesome.

Stand on the paper

Stand on the Paper

 

This time for the PPD session we had an interesting work using a paper which was given us by our madam Ms.Sarasi.

First we were divided into four groups. In every group there were seven or eight members. Our group had eight members. And then each group was given a piece of paper by our madam. Our task is to stand all the group members on that paper until our madam asks us to stop. The rules are we cannot keep feet outside the paper and paper should not be torn. If the paper is torn the team will be out from the game.

First we were given time to discuss the strategy. And then the game started. All the teams tried to complete the task. We also tried but we had to exit from the game since our paper was torn. After standing about five minutes on the paper madam asked us to stop. Then she gave another commad to fold the paper and again stand on it. And again after about five minutes our madam told to fold the paper again. And finally one team as able to survive in this game and it was the winning game of the day.

From this activity we learned to accomplish a given task with the help of team members. 

Lava River

Lava River

This week for the PPD session we had an interesting activity which was given us by our madam Ms.Sarasi. By name it is called Lava River.

For this activity we were divided into groups by our madam. There were 20 students and then we had 4 groups. In each group there were 5 members. Our team members are Chamith, Hasitha, Pankajan, Faheem and Sandali(me). 

Our madam had brought the resources for the activity. They are cardboard plates which were cut in the shape of circles. She called them as stones.

First our madam gave instructions to telling us how we should do this activity. Lava River is a game. In this game we have to cross a lava river using those stones. Each group was given 4 stones. We have to go from one bank to the other bank of the river using those stones. All 4 stones should have the human touch through out the process. If it lose human touch we will lose the stone and we have to cross the river with the remaining stones. And if someone step on the lava, that group have to start from the beginning. And only 3 times we can step on lava. 

First we were given 10 minutes to discuss about a strategy on how we should cross the lava river.

 

After that 10 minutes we started to cross the river and our madam started to count the time which we take to cross the river. At the beginning itself we lost 2 stones but we tried to cross the river using remaining 2 stones. And then we stepped on lava and started from the beginning. Anyhow we managed to cross more than half of the river and unfortunately again we had to step on lava. And again we started from the beginning. In the third attempt we managed to go to the other bank of the river. 

From this activity we learned to accomplish a given task with the limited resources and with the help of team members. And finally it was a very interesting activity to remember

Culture

                                      Our Culture

On 6th of December was a very special day. The reason for that is during that day in GNCT lecture we had a different experience that we never faced. First of all we were divided into two groups and lecture explained the scenario. The title that was given to this scenario was culture. The scenario was each team had to create their own culture which includes customs,language,songs,dance etc. Also that should be unique to each team.

Our group planned an activity with a different kind of scenario. That occasion was an event with some entertaining events which were happened according to our own traditions and customs. We were given about twenty minutes to prepare for the event. After some preparations we came up with the event and it gone totally wrong due to our own mistakes. But other team performed their act in more organized way comparing to our act. It got good feedback from us and also from the lecturer.

Then our lecturer explained things that went wrong for both teams.

This awesome activity helped us to identify different aspects of a culture. And also how to deal with other cultures and how to respect other cultures. Those are the key points that we got from this activity and this activity was very entertaining.
