In it's third year of fun, the 100 Days of Kindergarten event has become a much loved staple on the school calendar and is not just a fun dress up event, but a celebration of all of the learning achievements that kindergarten students have made since starting school in Term 1.

Kindergarten teacher Libby Marando said the day was 'the best day ever', telling The Area News how blown away she was by how involved the children got dressing up, and how they got into the spirit of the celebrations and on theme learning activities.

"We had children with grey hair, curlers, walking sticks and frames made out of piping and other materials" Mrs Marando said.

"They really excelled in using their imaginations and were very creative getting into character with their outfit choices"

Her colleague, Eliza Tyndall said the day was 'fantastic', and between all of the teachers, support staff and 75 kindergarten students, was a real success.

"Since starting, they have all built very strong foundations for their future learning as they have gotten used to a school routine and we loved celebrating that as a grade together" Miss Tyndall.

"No matter how big or small every learning achievement is an achievement and we are thrilled."

"From when our wonderful students started to now they have accomplished so much" Miss Tyndall said.

As the day progressed, students completed a number of literacy and numeracy activities that all required them to use their brains and work their way to the number of the day, 100.

In a special '100 Days of Kindergarten' booklet, they also practiced their maths skills by counting and skip counting, were asked to draw pictures and write responses about what they will look like and be doing when they are 100 years old and even 100 reasons why they loved school.

"I feel like we have successes within our classroom every single day so this truly was a wonderful way to recognise that and make learning fun for our students" Miss Tyndall said.

The day ended with a commemorative '100' cake that the children made sure to take out their dentures for.

"It is important that our children see that they are progressing with their learning and this was another great way to help them identify this" Mrs Marando said.
