Looks Back

                                                                Looks Back

During the year, we had many ppd sessions weekly and we had done many group activities in order to develop our personal progress. As this episode of my blog is the last episode of the year, I would like to look back for past days and check whether we had developed our soft skills as we hoped at the beginning.


According my point of view, in these sessions we had gain new memories and we had build a strong bong among batch mates. We cared and listen to each other. We shared knowledge and we limited resources. Whatever  we do, whenever  we do, our lecturer always there with us. We are very much thankful to her for her great effort and for her courage.

In every week, we had a new experience. ( Lava River, Paper Tower, Egg Protector, Cultural Show,....) week by week, without our concern, we had improve our skills to work in a proper manner. 

Most interesting moment of the ppd session was out bound training program in navy camp trincomalee. In that beautiful environment we had our most unforgettable ppd session. Working with a group is more difficult than working alone. But alone we can do a little; together we can do so much

Being motivated and inspired we can achieve all the goals    effectively as well as efficiently. Integrity , sense of responsibility, discipline,  sense of group work are few major work ethics that we learnt.

Barter Puzzle

            Fun Way Of Sharing And Achieving Goals



Last PPD Session Was One of the most interesting Session I had.All of us had been divided in to three groups and to each of our group a picture was given and we hall had to remember that Specific picture in our mind.

Then the group lead had to tear it in to 100 pieces.Then Miss Sarasi took 10 pieces from the above mentioned 100 pieces from each of our group and mixed them all together.Then our Goal was to complete this picture as fast as we can.

Each of our team had to come up with a way to get those pieces back - either through negotiating, trading, exchanging team members etc.

So as the first step we tried to select what are the pieces we exactly want and not . Then we try to exchange unnecessary picture pieces with other group to get the pieces we want. Then finally within 
a limited time we were able to achieve what we had  to achieve but unfortunately none of our team couldn't do it 100% correctly.
