First day of our PAT- Grade 4, 5, 6

Knocking on the Doors of PAT

Intelligence sees no boundaries. You don’t need to be an aged man or woman with 5 different diplomas or the author of an acclaimed research paper. Intelligence isn’t measured by the number of qualifications you have , but by your intellect and capability to think beyond. And some children of grade 4, 5 &6 have definitely proved this, going beyond their age defined expectations. Challenging and invoking their multiple thinking potential, feels the only right thing to do akin to a fresh outlook at education that we Oakridgers have envisioned for our future citizens.

As always reminded to PATians, PAT is a privilege bestowed upon oneself by one’s own merits.  Direction and drive can and will be incited, energized but the choice of walking on it and to what milepost lays completely in one’s own mind.

Here’s an insight into one of the PAT sessions, drafted by Manya Reddy -6F:

Today was the first day of PAT, Program for Academically Talented. This program is an opportunity given to the students of grade 4, 5 & 6 to enrich their academic study. At PAT, we believe in thinking out of the box, or said in simpler words, thinking logically and in different ways. Today in PAT, we had a nice set of ten minutes to talk to our excited friends and mingle, and after that, it began with the day’s challenge. I think every PAT-ian is unique. 

 

Here’s walking you through some reflections-

 Siddharth, grade 6 says- PAT was the best program that ever started!

Annika, grade 4 says- PAT was fun and challenging!

Shreya, grade 4 says– I’m looking forward for more PAT classes in the vacation too.

Anushka, grade 5 says – I just love the way we are challenged to think. It’s definitely not easy.

Maurya, grade 5 says – The activities confused me at times but it was a great learning experience.

Suraj, grade 5 says - I can’t wait for the vacations to end. I’m already thinking about the kind of activities we’d be exposed to.
