Prep B Celebrates 100 Days of Learning!
On Thursday 24th July, Prep students marked a major milestone, being 100 Days of Learning! The day was filled with joy, laughter, and creative fun as we celebrated the special day with the wonderful support of families.
The Prep B classroom buzzed with excitement as students arrived dressed as 100-year-olds, complete with glasses, wigs, and walking sticks! The children enjoyed a range of activities, including crafting shiny 100-day crowns, decorating fairy bread, creating adorable "old person" crafts, threading pasta necklaces, painting vibrant patterns with 100 dots and building towers with 100 cups.
We were also lucky to receive a special visit from Indi, adding even more joy to an already unforgettable day.
We can’t wait for the next 100 days!
