100 days for Wandin Yallock preps



The Wandin Yallock Primary School prep students celebrated their 100 Days of Prep on Thursday 31 July in an event which saw smiles, excitement and youthful cheer.

Foundation teacher Libby Davidson said the students felt very special to have hit this momentous milestone.

“In the morning we had a lovely time with our families coming to engage in lots of activities all based around the number 100,” Ms Davidson said.

The prep classroom had been decorated with streamers that the children had helped make with 100 links during their maths lessons.

“A week ago they each coloured in a picture of the number 100, and on the day were presented with that picture printed on their very own t-shirt.

“They had crowns that they had made the day before, so they were definitely dressed for the occasion.”

The kids bounced with exuberance as they built cup towers with 100 cups, raced to score 100 in board games, assembled domino runs with 100 pieces and painted hand prints with 100 fingers.

Then at 11am, the rest of the school formed a guard of honour for the preps which saw the preps walking with their heads high.
