North Side Primary students celebrated the 100th day of school in style! They started the day with an assembly where they heard about people who have achieved great things for the Cayman Islands and also those who have achieved greatness around the world. A 100 people mural gave examples of students in school who have begun the journey to greatness as well as those who have already achieved greatness...the first NSPS swimming team; the Year 1 and 2 students who are studying art; great inventors - including Year 3 who are working on their own inventions as part of their latest IB unit; great architects - with examples of Year 4 work for their IB unit and so on. Within the classrooms, there were many cross-curricular activities going on with a 100 theme...placing numbers on a blank 100 square; counting 100 cents; making $100 from different values of notes; reading the first 100 words; reading stories about 100 like "100th Day Worries" and "Coming Ready or Not!"; bouncing 100 times on a spacehopper; throwing the ball 100 times; working out questions that match "the answer is100..."; how far is 100 steps? and so on. The day finished with a 100 balloon release. It was great fun!
