A unique Primary School, offering a British based, child centred education in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Following on from the highly successful Kindergarten Sports’ Day, Grades 1 to 6 had their annual Sports’ Day at 4.00pm this afternoon. The children arrived at the Football Field wearing their team colours and competed against each other demonstrating a wide range of skills and a lot of stamina!
 
On Thursday 26th April, Kindergarten, JK, Pre-K and Toddlers went to the soccer field to hold their annual Sports’ Day. Most parents and the rest of the school came to watch and support – loudly! We were highly entertained by circle games (with super singing), relay races with puppets and other objects, relay races to ‘make a rainbow’, races balancing beanbags on bats and skipping.

Most importantly: EVERYONE had a FANTASTIC time!
As this is our 100th Blog Entry, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers and children for the WONDERFUL entries they have done so far.
I have really enjoyed reading and looking at all the fantastic things that you have been doing in school. It makes me feel proud to be a part of something so great. We are very fortunate to have such a special group of people at our school who work so closely together to provide such a stimulating environment for our children to grow.
Well done everyone and continue to make this such a happy place to be and please continue with THE AMAZING BLOGGING!
Children at our school now have a brand new learning tool. The school has just installed an interactive whiteboard in the ICT Suite. The special board, linked to a presenter and its own sophisticated software, enables children to interact with it directly rather than through a computer keyboard. This brings a whole new aspect to the children’s learning.
The software also includes a vast array of resources covering all National Curriculum subjects and much, much more.
This is the first interactive board in the Turks and Caicos Islands and we are proud to be bringing the best resources possible to our children. Look out for more exciting information showing how the children are using it.
At the end of last term, the Grade 3’s completed their Design Technology models of ‘Moving Monsters’. This unit focused on developing the children’s understanding of control through investigating simple pneumatic systems. We chose to make dragons as we had been reading lots of stories about dragons in our Literacy work. Click on the movie below to see one of our dragons in action.

Micro-organisms are small (very small) living organisms that like the same things as we do: oxygen, moisture, food and an even temperature. Micro-organisms exist everywhere: some are harmful and even dangerous, some cause no problems and even help us (for instance in our digestive tracts).
We were looking at ‘friendly’ bacteria like yogurt and yeast. We investigated the effect of yeast when making bread. We made 6 different sets of bread rolls – ranging from having no yeast to too much yeast – and observed the effect. As you can see, the amount of yeast made a significant difference.
