Tradition continued this year with Santa arriving at Provo Primary School on a fire truck. “Sleighs don’t work without ice!” explained a little boy, “and a fire truck is red like his sleigh.” Santa always knows that we love reading at Provo Primary School, so he brings all the children a book as a special gift. Many thanks to Santa and his helpers at the Fire Department for taking time from their busy schedules to pay us a visit. You made many boys and girls very happy today.

Dancing Santa 2011 Turks and Caicos from Brilliant by Tropical Imaging on Vimeo.
Each year, Brilliant by Tropical Imaging create a much enjoyed ‘Santa Dancing -TCI Happy Holidays’ video featuring lots of local businesses. This year they invited the children and staff of Provo Primary to join in the fun. There’s nothing quite like an early morning boogie, dressed in Santa hats and sunglasses, as a start to your school day! Many thanks and lots of holiday cheer to everyone at Brilliant by Tropical Imaging.

Christmas Lunch Celebrations, 2011
15 December, 2011 Leave a Comment
All the children gathered together today for a special Christmas lunch – a yummy feast with turkey, potatoes, carrots and broccoli. To celebrate this occasion, the children made festive hats and place mats. These girls made snowmen place mats – snowmen in the Turks and Caicos?
A big thank you to Robin and his staff at ‘Pizza, Pizza’ for your hard work cooking our school lunches every day.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Robin for donating cookies for all the children at their end of term performances.
Year 4’s Pizza Fractions
14 December, 2011 Leave a Comment
Year 4 recycled pizza boxes and scrap paper to make a game that would help them to learn about fractions. Each child created pizzas cut into a variety of number of slices. In the game, the children matched mixed number and improper fraction cards to the pizzas that showed these fractions. Some of the cards were equivalent fractions so the children had to imagine cutting or combining slices to match them. This game certainly got the children thinking and learning lots about fractions. It also got everyone feeling hungry – especially for pizza!

A huge THANK YOU to Billy the carpenter, our School Council and Nana Beezy for helping us to create our school signs, one for the front entrance… and one for the back. And they were ready just in time for our Christmas Performance – we really didn’t want anyone to lose their way and miss the fantastic show!
A fabulous team effort!

What is she doing in this box?

Well, the Dolphins in Year 3 have been looking at containers. They wanted to know how this container was actually made so they decided – once empty again – to dismantle it. They discovered it was actually made out of a 2d flat shape called a ‘net’. Once the Dolphins had discovered this they wanted to make their own 3d shape using a net.
Busy Busy Preschool

Every day the Preschoolers play outdoors, some of them love running on the soccer field and others love the sand and water play in the garden. They have also enjoyed baking every week this term and the latest yummy treats were Pink Triple Berry Muffins. Preschool received some new resources and one of their favourites is the ‘Marble Run’. They have also been learning about magnets and shape matching. The new ‘Pete the Cat’ book has been teaching us all about colours. Read on to see photographs of all the wonderful experiences our children are having in Preschool.
