GNCT

                    Team balancing on the paper    This week , on 8th of the November, we had another interesting activity in our GNCT session, It was another interesting session as usual. At first we were divided in to 4 groups, 8 members in each. Then each team was given one sheet of a newspaper, in which all the members had to stand on that paper. We had to stand sticking to one another and each members legs had to be inside the paper. It was really hard to manage all the members inside the paper because all were in different sizes, and we had to make sure that the sheet of paper did not tear. So for this we were given 5 minutes to strategise.

This week's session is called "Rupee for Thoughts"             First our madam Miss.Sarasi collect a coin from each of us and put it into a purse.

That particular person had to talk about his/her memories related to the year of the coin. 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 ...

                               LEADERSHIP On 29th of November 2018 we had an interesting session in GNCT lecture on  Leadership.  Initially our lecturer explained some key points of leadership using a presentation. From that we got an idea of what was that day's scenario. In that presentation there were some awesome life stories of great true leaders who lives and who had lived in the world. This small scenario made the session more interesting and more valuable. After this we were divided into two groups and our lecturer told us to perform an act in front of the class regarding leadership. Two instances of leadership were given to two groups and we got about fifteen minutes to ready for the act. After the preparation both teams acted for the given scenarios. Our group had to act a scene of  how to handle the situation in a meeting of presenting a presentation when one of the importa...

   The Egg Parachute We were excited on this day because we were informed last week to bring some eggs to the class. No-one had any clue as to what is the task we are going to get. The date was 27th of September, 2018 and this was our 2nd lecture on GNCT for the 2nd semester. After the lecture begun, we were divided in to 5 groups and each group was given an egg along with 5 A4 sheets and a cello tape. Our group consisted of 6 members namely Asela, prasanna, ruwen, janaka, isuru and myself.   We were instructed to cover the egg which we had with the papers, so that when structure is dropped from 6 feet, the egg should not crack. At the same time the structure should look creative and beautiful too. At first this looked like a real challenge for us. So first we came up with a plan after discussing among the group members.  Then it was getting easier for us to figure out what to do. So we started tearing 4 papers in to small pieces and started r...

                                                    THE LAVA RIVER We had some real fun because of the activity we got to do today. We were divided in to 4 groups 5 in each, and we were given round shaped card boards. The activity we were supposed to do was to cross the classroom from one end to the other using the limited card boards we had got, with all the group members while ensuring that non of us our feet touched the tile instead of  the card board. The task was really challenging because we had to work smart and hard making sure we were fulfilling the conditions. We tried our best to succeed, but unfortunately, our team couldn't cross the classroom successfully. Even this was  a small challenge, we learned lots of things through this challenge. We were able to build our team spirit, the team courage and team work. This activity i...

              The Barter Puzzle                   On the 4th of October we had another interesting activity as usual. This time it was a puzzle. At first we were divided in to several groups and one from each team was summoned to the lecturer's table and all were given a piece of cardboard with one side blank and the other side with an image. We weren't supposed to look at the image and we were asked to cut the cardboard in to 90 small pieces. At first non of us had any idea what are we going to get later, so we started cutting them without any pattern or shape. After we had finished Miss. Sarasi put all the small pieces in separate envelopes and a small number of pieces were jumbled in other teams' envelopes. So the task we were given was to find out our teams missing parts from other teams and to complete the puzzle first.  For this we had to search for our missing pieces and  we had ...
