From grey hair and glasses, to walking sticks and newsboy caps, dozens of students went all out to celebrate their milestone.

The students’ teacher Bianca Marais said dress-up days helped bring the students’ personalities to life, while also encouraging learning.

“It extends the curriculum. They've actually been counting up to 100,” she said.

“It also helps them understand ageing a little bit more.”

The children enjoyed ‘100’-themed activities and crafts throughout the day.
