100 Days at School Party

On Thursday 23 Spetember we celebrated our 100th day at school in Room 2. What a fun day we had! We started by sharing our bags of 100 items for News. We had a great selection of items which included 100 pieces of Lego, 100 spaghetti noodles, 100 stickers, 100 leaves... the list goes on!

We wrote in our '100 Days Book' for Writing. We had to write about the best thing we had done at school in the last 100 days, as well as what we could do now that we had been at school for 100 days. While we were writing, Louise came and took groups out to do some baking. They managed to make 100 chocolate chip biscuits! They were delicious! Thanks Louise.

For Reading we had to read 100 books - we did this as a class with each child having to read at least 5 books. Mrs Brownlie added to the total by reading books to the class.

For Maths we practiced counting to 100 in ones, tens and fives and then we did some Statistics work. We counted out 100 Smarties and made a tally chart of the different colours. Then we turned this into a picture graph. The children then got their own box of Smarties and made a tally chart and graph of their own Smarties.
Mrs N came in to join us for the party with Ben. She came with some bags of lollies! We had to count out 100 lollies which we then used in a lolly scramble. We made a bar graph of how many lollies each child collected from the lolly scramble. We also counted out 100 steps to see how far we could get. We used wool to measure the distance.

We then enjoyed an amazing lunch which included our 10o biscuits, fruit, sushi, sandwiches, cupcakes that were decorated with the number 100, mousetraps, quiche etc. We drank 100 mls of lemonade which the children helped to measure with Hayley's Mum, Mila. Thank you Mila. Thanks also to Zoey's mum Annette who helped to set up the food table and cleaned up after the children had finished. At the end of our shared lunch we put candles in the '100 shaped' lolly-cake cake that Georgiana had brought to school. We lit the candles and sang 'Happy 100 days to us!' All of the children then blew out the candles. We got to take this home at the end of the day, along with our lollies in our 100 day goodies bags!
Just before 3:00 PM, Mrs Davids brought the children over to Mrs Brownlie who was rehearsing with the Middle Choir. The Middle Choir surprised Team 2 by singing 'Happy 100 Days To You!' It was a lovely way to end a fantastic day! Thank you to all the children for being such great sports and to the parents who supported us by helping behind the scenes (counting out 100 items, providing food for the lunch etc). You are all amazing and you all deserve a great holiday! Mrs N and I look forward to seeing you all again next term.
