A COIN FOR A THOUGHT This is last day our GNCT session for first year. Like all other days of GNCT, we had an interesting session. First, Miss.Sarasi collected a coin from each of us and all the coins were put in to a purse. Then the purse was rotated through the class and the moment where Miss.Sarasi tapped the table, the person with the purse had to take a coin out and he had to speak about the memories he had related to the year of the coin. 

THE EGG PARACHUTE

The Egg Parachute This day is very interesting day for us. Because there was a group activity that day. 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.  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.  The day was really awesome and amazing as today we had the chance to get a novel experience.

Sarasi Senadheera even started the lecture by teaching the fact that how all of us are born leaders taking the example of a sperm which meets the ova by defeating millions of its peers.

This activity really helped all of us to identify our f uture goals as well as the challenges yet to come.
