100 Days of Prep

Students in Prep celebrated their 100th day of school last Friday. As part of the celebration, we dressed up as 100 year olds. Check out our amazing costumes!

We participated in special activities all day to celebrate how much we have learned in our 100 days at school.

In Mathematics we counted to 100 using bundles of 10 and had a race to find which pair could make it to 100 first. We also made groups of 10 lollies/sweets and enjoyed a special treat at the end of the day.  :)
