The young learners celebrated the milestone with an afternoon of fun. There were activities based around the number, such as building with 100 blocks or creating a gumball machine with 100 dots. Each student made a calming bottle to take home filled with water, glitter and 100 beads. Teachers and parent volunteers helped out at the stations.
