Outbound Training Program

Outbound Training Program

On the 9th and 10th ,we went to Outboud training to Trincomalee Navy camp.

On 9th morning ,we started travelling at 3.30 am .Our bus stopped in Kandalai river.There we could see the beautiful river in one side of the road .There we took some fresh air and then started our journey back.


We reached Trinco at 10.30 am.Then we were given time to get ready. then we got ready and took our lunch there. After that our training activities were started.

We devided for 04 groups and we have different tasks to acheive.
 
First activity



There is a wood frame were hanged and 8 members have to go from one side to other side without any touching on that frame. So when one of us pass the square other members help to pass the square to him.So we learn how to work as a term through this activity.

Second activity

In this activity,we had to pass a marble through a PVC pipe.We had to join the PVCs ending to prevent it from falling down.We did our best in this activiy and finished before five minutes.From this task we learnt work with strategy and coordination.

Third activity
In this game they gave us bricks and each of every one in the team wants to keep the brick in their stomach and the person who in front wants to keep that brick without falling down by pushing it with his back and also the other condition was every one wants to keep their hands on the back side of the head then the group asked to move to the boundary line without fall down any bricks if any brick fall down then the team wanted to start from the beginning. But this time we didn't finished it correctly.


Fourth activity
In this time we were asked to fill the tube with holes.what we did was we asked one of uur team member to remove his t-shirt and then he lay down and we kept the tube on his stomach and all we hurry to fill that tube and we all ran to sea and get the water into our mouth and in both hands and ran back and poured the water into the tube. like wise we did it repeatedly and we made a huge success from our team work that means we filled it just in 2 minutes then the Navy officer took a photograph of our group.

Fifth activity
Its like a volley ball game.four of us keep a cloth and we have to throw the ball over the net and another one in other side of the net has catch the ball.This is really challenging game.we learnt Team Work from it.

Sixth activity
The last activity is tug war. In the first round our team won and the second round we lost it.because our boys got tired.

Camp fire and Dinner
Near 6pm we return to accommodation and get ready for dinner in formal dress.after that we returned the same place and make a camp fire and do some activities like drama,singing songs and dance.
after that we had our dinner .

Second Day
On second day we got ready at near 7.30am and had our breakfast. After that we were divided into four groups.and the task is we have to go through the forest by using compass.it's really amazing and interesting.inside the forest one of the officer acted as a injured man so we have to act how to help him.that is very interesting also. finally we reached the destination and had a Tea.


After that we visited to the Navy Museum. that is very nice and interesting place.one of the officer explain all the things in there.That's a very nice experience to us and it helped us to know something about ships and other some sea related things.

BARTER PUZZLE

Last PPD session was an amazing  session. First we were divided in to 3 groups and was given a picture.We have to keep that picture in our mind.Then the team leader had tear it in to 100 pieces. After that Miss Sarasi took 10 pieces from each group and mixed them all and divided them among groups. What we had to do was to make the picture with a given time by using any strategy. We were given the opportunity to get the pieces through negotiations or through trading team members. We wanted to decide it as a group.

First we tried to separate pieces according to the picture and see what we can make.So we divided in to small groups and did it.

We solved the puzzle very well, but only one piece we missed. The second group lost 6 pieces to connect the puzzle, the third group lost 3 or 4 pieces.

Finally she decided that our team was successful.

What we have learnt from this session

Working as group.Planning before working.Time management.Situations handling.Decision making.
