Class Talk for Grade 6

“Dreams are the touchstones of our character” quotes Henry David Thoreau.

The aim of class talk becoming a part of the Oakridge’s curriculum is primarily to instil confidence amongst children to speak in front of people, besides encouraging them to put on their thinking caps and facilitate the teachers to act as mentors and working on their shortcomings.

The first class talk of this year “What I want to be and how will it make a difference” showcased the passion amongst children, high energy levels and above all their zeal to excel.

The childrenspoke on theirdreams/ aspirations ranging from being a professional, like a doctor or an architect, to venturing into areas like sociology and business leadership. What was heartening to note was that the children orchestrated their Ideas towards a single cause: undertaking a change.

The brilliance and innovativeness displayed by the children coupled with articulation of thoughts made us sit back and take notice of their innate talent, intrinsically happy and set benchmarks for the school to take them to higher echelons in the months to come.

The class talk, all in all,kindled their brain and brought in clarity to their thoughts. And against the backdrop of the above, our objective of the class talk was comprehensively achieved.
