After a rollercoaster year spent in and out of lockdown, Prep pupils marked an important milestone when they returned to face-to-face learning on Monday.
Preps at Laverton P-12 College celebrated 100 days at school at school with a series of fun events and dress-ups.
Leading teacher Haylee Fithall said the pupils dressed up as old people for the day, wearing costumes they had been making it home during remote learning.
“Part of the day this year and every year is about discussing things that the students are proud of, and what they’ve leaned from the beginning of the year,” she said.
“They discuss the things they didn’t know before and things they want to achieve ahead, it’s a motivating time for our kids to reflect upon that learning.”
Creative costumes included walking sticks made out of toilet rolls and grey hair made out of out of cotton wool.
Activities on the day ranged from creating collections of 100 things and thinking about what they might buy for $100 to seeing how much of a lollipop remained after 100 licks.
“They are so excited to be coming back,” Ms Fithall said.
Prep Charlotte said she was excited to play with her friends again while Deena said she was happy to see her classroom and all their work on the walls.
Eric was “excited because we are doing lots of 100 activities” and Fatat was “excited to be at school because I get to see my friends and my teachers”.
