Beaconhills College prep student Eddie Zhang is not about to let a little thing like a pandemic stand in the way of learning arithmetic.
Eddie was busy this week counting the numbers of his very impressive dinosaur collection, part of Beaconhills College’s ‘100 days of school’ milestone.
Students may be learning online, but preps were still keen to celebrate the occasion with a range of fun activities.
Prep co-ordinator from Beaconhills Berwick Campus, Ruth Holland, said normally teachers would ask each child to bring a collection of 100 items – such as stickers, shells or beads – for show and tell.
“Each child’s collection is then used for counting and sorting activities during the day,” Ms Holland said.
“We also ask them to dress as centenarians and do lots of fun activities relating to the number 100.”
She said while lockdown had changed some plans, the preps still had a special Zoom assembly where they proudly showed their collections and costumes to classmates.
