100 Day Part 4: Grade 5 & 6

After lunch we welcomed the Grade 5 and 6 class to our festivities. They had the option of helping the kids make 100 piece puzzles or 100 link chains. Both activities were well represented.

The only annoying part about making those chains was the rather pitiful state of our staplers at school.

Oh well, where staples ceased to work, tape would do.

Proud presenters of the first completed puzzle. I'm sure they were waiting for the chocolate prize as has been handed out in previous years. Sorry! I had more chocolate in previous years!

Oooh! Even the "boss" came to join the party!

Our room is still festooned with those chains. They fall regularly. But the kids insist we keep them up -- it makes our room cheery.

100 Day Part 3: Grade 7 & 8

This was probably my favourite activity of 100 Day. I did this two years ago for the first time and loved how it turned out.

But, it's a lot of work, a lot of time for our visiting class to spend with us and costs a bit of money. (Thanks PTA!) Plus no one needs two 100 Day shirts right? I think this will become an every other year staple. At least as long as I'm doing 100 Day.

Making 100 Day t-shirts is something that I need the oldest students in school to help out with. Grade 7 and 8 spent close to an hour cheerfully and happily helping out the students.

Each student and helper wrote the numbers 1 to 100 on the front of the shirt and then the class signed the back.

Here's a video of them in action:

I've mentioned before what a kick I get out of watching siblings working together right? :)

Yay! I'm done Miss J!

Ha ha! I'd leave the identity of this adult secret, but I don't think it's too hard to figure out :) There are clues in the other pictures.

Once all our shirts were finished we headed off to the Grade Two/Choir room for another group shot.

Don't they look cool from the back too? Of course I'd say that, I spent too much time spraying the backs :)
