Welcome to Kinder/Prep 2022!  Or as the class has chosen, ‘The Rock’n’Rollers’.

Children have been very busy settling into new routines and school life at Molesworth Primary.  They are confidently entering the learning space and are quickly making new friends, developing their own identities and strengthening known friendships.

The success of how quickly children have settled is a credit to all children and their families.  It is exciting to see children bouncing in the door of a morning, ready to explore classroom activities - happy to start the day and say their farewells to family.

Children have begun to develop friendships with others.  Learning the names of their classmates and using them during class discussion times is a major accomplishment (as is reading them).  Sharing and taking turns is also a huge step and it is wonderful to see children developing these skills daily.  Our Prep children have been amazing role models and support to our younger classmates.  It has been wonderful listening to supportive conversations lead by our older children, and seeing our older children take a lead in the classroom.

Rock’n’Rollers have especially enjoyed exploring our playground.  Digging, cooking, bike riding and building are some of our favourite activities. Pinecone finding and collecting has also featured heavily.  The number of things a pinecone can be used for is endless (as we are discovering!)  It is a delight to see the children hard at work outside and the innovative way they are using their play space.  I am constantly in admiration at how creative and innovative our children are!

School is very busy with children learning through doing.  It is through play we learn and reinforce new skills.  It is through play we develop a sense of who we are.  Our days are filled with fun and are action packed.  Our learning is endless.  No wonder our children arrive home exhausted!
