Gifted Kids Competition

Gifted Awareness Week   18 - 22 June 2012


The theme for this year's competition is "CONNECTIONS"

You can write (up to 150 words)

You can create an art work 

You can take a photograph

Make a video 



Take some time to think about  "CONNECTIONS"

Thinking time helps you to see lots of different possibilities


In Term 2  I will hold some lunchtime classes where you can come and talk 
about your ideas and help you find the resources you might need.


In 2011 Phoebe won a prize in the photographic section of the competition.

Other students sent in drawings and wrote stories



GET THINKING and BE CREATIVE!
