FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH

Another very busy two weeks at Molesworth.  The building work is progressing extremely well considering the weather we have had.  The plumbing work has created a few issues as the underground system here is very old and not well marked.  Because of this our students have used the front of the school for recess and lunch with the gates closed.  It has been lovely to see all the creative games in the new space and the different friendships developing.  They have loved the chalk and each day there is a whole new set of artworks to enjoy.  The plumbing work in the playground should be completed by the end of the week so we will have our playground and netball court back to use.  The oval has been out of use because of the amount of rain over the past two weeks.  Today and last Thursday each PE class experienced hockey using the community hall for each lesson.  This past week we have seen the footings for the new building go in with the outline of the shape of our new spaces now very clear.  Children have lots of conversations about what is happening and why and what is next.  This is a rare opportunity where the students experience all the stages of how a building is created from such a close vantage point. 

Hopefully all families have viewed their children’s’ class item in the virtual assembly and congratulations to all award recipients who are photographed in this newsletter.  If you have not yet seen their item, log in to Seesaw as it is in there to enjoy.  All teachers continue to use Seesaw to share your child’s learning so check in whenever you have a spare minute.  The Year 1-2 class have made some amazing movies sharing their blue bot programming skills and the Kinders have loved creating dams and channels in the digging area and wondering about where the water goes. 

It is great to see the blossom and the new shoots appearing as we head towards the end of winter and in to spring.
