The 100 Days of School Party

Yesterday Room 7 had their 100 days party of great learning.

First we set our 100 treasures in 10 rows and we counted our treasures in ones and it took a really long time so we counted in tens.

Next we decorated and iced 100 cupcakes. The icing was really runny and I wanted to have a little taste so I did. They tasted kind of soft and creamy.

Finally we did 100 exercises and I found the jumping sack tricky because I kept falling over in the jumping sack!

I will never forget the 100 days party because I ate 100 cupcakes and I did 100 exercises. It helped me get fit for playing my rugby!
