TCI 'Massin' Provo Primary Style
30 November, 2009 Leave a Comment
David Bowen, our Director of Culture, came to help out with rehearing one of our Year 5 performances in our upcoming End of Year Show: Bob the Elf – Christmas around the World.
The story is about an Elf who travels the globe with Santa on Christmas Eve learning about how Christmas is celebrated around the world. On his journey he visits our country, the Turks and Caicos where he sees some ‘Massin’, our traditional native Junkanoo music parade. In the photo above you can see a sneak preview of the children practising.
The children will be busy this week making creative masks and costumes out of just about anything. Here is a photo of a man dress up in his ‘Massin’ costume to give you a glimpse.
They can’t wait for you to see it on the night!

Once a month at Provo Primary School, we offer our children the chance to ‘dress down’ and have a non-uniform day in return for a donation of a dollar that goes towards a chosen charity. This November, we decided to ask our children to do something a bit different and donate a gift for the Provo Children’s Home. [Read more…]

Well done, everyone. There are some amazingly creative homes and they look like they were a lot of fun to create together with your family.

Year 2's Delicious Fruit Smoothies

Year 2 made some delicious healthy fruit smoothies as part of our ‘Be Active’ Week.
Everyone had a turn at preparing the fruit and choosing what they would like in their own special smoothie recipe. They used the juicer to make it and then enjoyed drinking it down. Can you spot the smoothie moustache!
Thank you Jo for coming in and making these together with the children. Great fun and a super way to encourage healthy eating habits!
‘Be Active’ Week
2 November, 2009 Leave a Comment
This week we hosted our first ‘Be Active’ Week.
Our aim for the week was to raise awareness in school for the importance of being active. Children were encouraged to make an ‘Active Week Pledge’, promising to do or try something active during the week. Each class kept a record of all the fruit and vegetables that they have eaten for snack and lunch during the week. Most children live far away from the school but lots chose to stop on route and walk part of the way. Points were awarded for each class’ efforts and the class with the most points at the end of the week was recognised as ‘the most active’ class.
The week was a great success. It was great to see children, parents and teachers all making a special effort to challenge themselves to be more aware of their physical activity and to eat more fruit and vegetables.
Well done everyone!
