LOL - DH printed that out too. So there's DS5 innocently colouring it in, with a view to taking it to school for show and tell. Thank heavens I was still here to veto the idea! If I'd left for work five minutes earlier we could have had a complete disaster in us-school relations.
so what exactly was the teacher looking for?
So hard to know... My impression was that a proper gifted child would become very absorbed in the task at hand and produce a complex creative work oozing with good spelling (no danger of that here - imagine dogmatically phoenetic spelling based on the worst possible sort of Australian accent - why would a person write "now" when they could write "nyeow"? Mysteriously, he doesn't talk that way).
Zhian - you must be a very spicy teacher. I hope you're more appreciated than looked at askance?
