100 Days of school and Just Getting Started!
Can you believe it? 100 days of Kindergarten already!
The first 100 days are more than just a countdown. They are the foundation of a lifelong love of learning. They set the tone for independence, resilience, and a readiness to explore the world one question at a time. To mark this special milestone, our Kindergarten girls celebrated in style with a day full of fun, friendship, and fabulous festivities. The 100th day of Kindergarten holds special significance at SCEGGS. From the very first day of school, KH have marked each morning using tens frames, 100 charts, base ten blocks, and tally marks to count their way to this exciting day. The girls also learnt how to write an invitation for their parents and teachers to help them celebrate this special day. Ms Gyton’s RSVP included some tricking maths problems that we enjoyed solving and surprisingly every question had the answer 100! This celebration serves as a reflection of the girls’ growth, achievements, and the meaningful relationships they’ve built with their peers and teachers.
What Does 100 Look Like?
Everyone dressed up for the occasion to the theme 100. The outfits ranged from the girls dressing up as 100-year-olds, while others were covered in 100 pom poms, sparkles, stickers or stars.
Counting Up with Cardio
The day started with a burst of energy! Our fitness challenge got our legs moving, arms swinging and hearts racing. From high knees to hopping, the girls proved that maths and movement make quite the dynamic duo. With the help of our wonderful parents, we danced, jumped and stretched our way to 100.
Crunch, Count and Create
The girls set to work stringing 100 Fruit Loops into colourful, crunchy necklaces. They counted 10 groups of 10, then used their fine motor skills to carefully thread the loops and complete their creations.
Race to 100
Using a hundred board, the girls raced their parents and teachers across and down the board to 100. They predicted how many rolls it would take to finish the game an exciting way to show off their speedy subitising and addition skills.
Construction challenge
The girls also took on a construction challenge, using 100 different materials to build the tallest and most stable tower. From paper cups and LEGO bricks to pop sticks and pipe cleaners, the results were as imaginative as they were impressive. It was a brilliant lesson in engineering, patience and the power of teamwork.
The 100-Craft Challenge
In the art room, the girls were tasked with creating a monster using exactly 100 different art resources. The girls used sequins, feathers, fabric pieces and googly eyes and each monster was wonderfully unique and reflected the girls fantastic imaginations.
We’re Only Just Getting Started!
While the 100th day may be behind us, the learning journey is only beginning. Every day in Kindergarten counts. The girls are now tracking each day to see just how many days of Kindergarten they’ll enjoy in total. Here’s to the next 100 days!
