Another pleasant experience from the PPD session.first our teacher Miss.Sarasi devided us in to 3 groups. She gave us 12 A4 sheets,pair of scissors,a sello-tape and challenge to built a big paper tower from given papers within 45 minutes.
The following would be checked,
*longest tower
*firmness tower
*straightness of the tower
First of all we needed to imagine the structure of our tower. All of the members in our group presented their own ideas.We selected the best structure and started to build it all together.Then we rolled the papers like cones and pasted them one by one.When we were building the middle part of the tower , we faced a major problem.When tower's height is increasing,the straightness and strength went down. Even though we continued to build the tower it was not steady it can't stand without any support. So we had to find the way to solve this problem. When the time up somehow we managed to built the tower successfully.
At the end of this session Miss.Sarasi showed us our good things and faults. Specially she pointed out that our creativity is not at the best when comparing to other teams.
After this great activity we learned ,
- making decision
- how to respect other's opinions
- leadership
- importance of the plan
- creativity
The paper tower session is important of develop our personal development skills and it was enjoyable and great activity.
