This happened to my son after K-2 in public school. While I read that gifted kids don't get bored, gifted kids can entertain themselves, gifted kids challenge themselves, etc etc etc....not my son. He can't stand review (unless it's part of a game) and his mind seems to need to be constantly stimulated.
DS has already told me that "sometimes I just don't pay attention". He draws or whatever if they're doing something that he already is proficient in, and I hate to see habits like this forming. BUT, having been excruciatingly bored from time to time, I can't totally fault him. I just think situations like this will leave him ill-prepared for times when he will have to pay attention, put forth effort, really work at something, etc.
