It was a day of celebrations at Napoleons on Friday as its primary school notched up its 150th anniversary.
A day of activities and fun for pupils was capped off with the school community shaping themselves in to the numerals 150 on the oval for a special drone photograph to mark the occasion.
Even the school's 'Spoonville' got in to the act with pupils forming 150 from their collection of decorated spoons, some donning outfits that would have been seen around the school in decades gone by.
It's not quite the celebrations they had planned but pupils at Napoleons Primary School will get a taste of the early years as their school celebrates its 150th anniversary this week.
And to ensure future students understand the crazy school year of 2020 and all that the school has been through over its lifetime, a time capsule is being prepared to be interred when a community celebration can be held next year.
While the school's 150th birthday officially falls on Sunday November 1, on Friday the school will hold a fun day for pupils and staff.
There will even be a short walk down the road to the old school which closed in 2002 after it was deemed too small and the new school was built on its current site.
"Our original plan was to have a 'bigger than Ben Hur' on-site celebration on the Sunday with a market, activities, games, parade and smoking ceremony but in the COVID context obviously we are not able to," said principal Sue Izard.
"Instead we will have an in-school fun day."
A Koorie educator will lead each class through an Indigenous story and activity followed by an Indigenous nature walk in the school grounds.
A Sovereign Hill incursion has had to be put on hold but children will complete a range of activities mirroring the types of school activities that would have been carried out in the late 1800s.
They will also hear from a former student, teacher and principal about school life in decades past, and a Spoonville will be set up to house the spoons children have been working on in art classes.

And in the afternoon, the school's 96 pupils will form the shapes of 150 for a special photograph to add to the school's history.
"It should be a really enjoyable day ... and our plan is hopefully when we are in a little less restricted environment next year we will have our celebration day and invite school community members, past students, parents and teachers back to school to have a proper smoking ceremony and celebration," Ms Izard said.
