[Oz-gifted] gifted children programme

[L B]

Just the thought of having a child that intelligent makes my heart race.   I 
am running to try and keep up with my two!! My ds7's report said that he is 
currently doing "End Stage 3" maths, which is year 6.  He is in year 2.  I'm 
not sure what the school is going to do with him for the remaining 4 years 
that he will be there, and am not even thinking about high school. Luckily 
he is only about a year ahead in literacy (although the books he reads are 
the same as his friends in year 5), and they don't test him on medieval 
history!!
