Creativity in the classroom

A sudden spark of creativity prompted my son, Thayn P. Trikannad, all of 12 years and in 8th grade in St. Dominic Savio High School, Bombay, India, to write the following ode to his sports day. He won his teacher's appreciation.

My Sports Day

My sports day was great
It's hard to say
But I'll express it this way
We had lots of games
And loads of fun
So many names
To make us run
I love sports day
Just can't wait
Until next year
When they open the gate!
