Here come the grannies.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School Elmore’s Prep students marked 100 days of school on Thursday, August 8, by dressing as 100-year-olds.

They were joined in the celebration by their friends in the junior class, which takes in Prep to Year 2.

When the morning bell went, in hobbled the bespectacled centenarians. Soon their walking aids were parked and they settled in to their writing lesson — using chalk and blackboards, of course.

The day was capped off with a whole-class party.
