Field Trip

2017 December 09 and 10th, the all I and II years Software Engineering students successfully participated in their field trip. But I lost that opportunity because my health is not good. There are more than 80 students and 3 lectures were participated that outbound training program at Trincomalee Navy Camp.

First Day (2017 December 09)

They started their journey at 3:00 am, and they had two buses for the journey in the university. The friends joined the bus and enjoyed a lot of time and then reached a big lake in Kantalai. It was so beautiful, and then all of them would stop buses and take some photos.

Then they continued their journey back to the navy camp at 10.30 am. It was built with a lot of security and amenities. Then girls and boys reached their staying places, and then they were all ready for progress. Then they were taken to lunch, an officer gave a short speech. Finally they reached a beach area to start their activities.

First Activity

The first activity was they were separated into four groups. Then they asked to select 8 members in each groups and there was a small square which was tucked with two bamboos and placed it as the square comes in the middle with little bit of high from floor and they were asked to go into the square without touching and if any part of their body touched the square then they were out and once again start from the first.  After the activity an officer told them to the plus and the minus of groups.

Second Activity

The second activity they asked 8 people from a group without a leader so totally 9 participants from each group and what they did was they gave small PVC plastic and the leader stay front and wants to put the marble into the first person's PVC when the marble touch the PVC only the next person wants to touch his PVC with the other ones. Likewise the group wants to pass the marble to the boundary line.

Third Activity

Now the authorities gave us a big plastic tube. Both sides were finally opened and there were several holes in that pipe and they took water from the sea and asked them to fill it.

Forth Activity

Now they asked to form 10 people from each group in a queue and they gave them bricks and each of everyone 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 everyone wants to keep their hands on the back side of the head then the group asked to move to the boundary line which was kept by the officers without fall down any bricks if any brick fall down then the team wanted to start from the beginning.

  

Fifth Activity

The next activity beach volley ball but a small different. They can't use their hands. So what happened was every group formed their group into three parts with 6 members for each and one of the person wants to stay the other side to catch the ball. the other five wants to stay the other side and four of them wants to hold a cloth like a rubber sheet and the other one wants to keep the volley ball onto the rubber sheet and lead the team and the team wanted to throw the ball using that cloth to the other side and the person who stand on the other side wanted to catch the ball. If it happened correctly then the team will get 1 points. Every group got 15 chances to try it.

Finally, they finished all the activities and all of them returned to their room, ready at about 6:00 pm for dinner. They were decorated with lights behind the same location. Then each group asked for two shows, and there was a fire camp their dinner was given, then finally they went to bed for the rest.

Second Day (2017 December 10)

Day two. They woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning. Once the breakfast was finished, they were again divided into three groups. They were given a map and a compass, using the map and the compass to reach the elephant point. First the officers taught us how to use the compass.

After the relaxation, they went to the Navy Museum and viewed the damaged elements during the Second World War and damaged during the 3 decades of war.

Finally after watched the museum they went to Sniper training center and had their lunch and thanks the officer for their dedications. Finally they nearly at 3:30 pm took bus to university and at 10:30 pm they reached back.

 

Thank you.
