Thriving

Gifted Awareness Week 2021 has the theme 'Thriving as Gifted'.

In our classes at Quest this week we talked about what it means to thrive and what might help us thrive.

We looked at examples of highly gifted children (prodigies) and looked at whether we thought they were thriving and what might have helped them to thrive. 

Some ideas of what it might mean to thrive...

"To flourish in the environment you're in and always be able to alter your attitude." Charlie S.

" Opposite to suffer." Amelia

" Healthy, living in good conditions." Cerys.

Below are ideas from some of the year 3&4 students:




We looked at the need to have challenge at the appropriate level for us, and to have motivation to do something. 

This fits in well with our famous people studies and children are researching what helped the famous person they are studying to thrive.
