Cyclone at Kindergarten

I'm looking forward to Cyclone starting Kindergarten. In Victoria, children go to Kinder when they are 4 years old, to socialise, fingerpaint and get ready for school. The first year of school is called Prep. Kindergarten is 10 hours a week divided into 3 sessions across the week. 2 morning sessions and 1 afternoon.

The Kindergarten is across the road and 4 houses up from our house so I'm looking forward to walking him there with his Ben 10 backpack. He is itching to go.

He does brilliantly. He joins in, listens well, participates in discussions without interrupting and the teachers just love the information he has to offer. They talk about planets and the teacher sends homework for him to continue because his knowledge is far past the kinder discussions. Well it's not really homework but the teacher must have her own love of the subject and sends her favorite websites home for him to follow up.

I breathe a sigh of relief. He'll be ok, maybe he was just understimulated. The other boys enjoy building with him, he has fabulous ideas and more to work with in the block department.


He makes friends, he blends well. All is good at Kinder.
