We would particularly like to mention some of the many academic successes that we have had this year pertaining to our oldest students in the school (Years 5 and 6).

*       Many children in Year 6 have attained level 5c’s and 5b’s and are working well ahead of Year 6 expectations in English, Mathematics and Science. One child was assessed as a level 6c writer, working just below the average for a 13 year old.

*       Some of our Year 6s have been following an extended Year 7 Maths curriculum this year.  All these children have gained level 7c’s and a 7b which is well ahead of their expected level, completing a paper which is generally done in Year 9 by 14 year olds!

*       In school entrance exams, we have also experienced huge successes, gaining high marks across the board in entrance exams. We gained the 1st, 2nd, 3rd places in the TCI Middle School.

*       Our school also attained 1^st and 3^rd place in the Year 7 British West Indies Collegiate exam again, competing against a whole host of other children.

*       One of our Year 5 students also came in 1^st place in the Year 6 exam for British West Indies Collegiate and one was accepted into Year 7.  All children that sat the exam were accepted into the school.

*       Our whole Year 5 class attained the UK national average for Year 5 in English and Mathematics, with some children achieving level 5c’s and 5b’s, working well ahead of expectations.

From ‘Solar Ovens’ to ‘Solar Revolving Airplanes’, Year 5 has been looking at these renewable resource that has been around for years.  Solar cooking uses the sun as the source of energy instead of standard cooking fuels such as charcoal, coal or gas. Solar cookers are an inexpensive and environmentally sound alternative to traditional ovens.  Year 5 constructed their own solar oven using a shoe box, oatmeal container, aluminum foil, plastic wrap and a wire coat hanger.  They placed a hot dog on the hanger and covered their box in plastic wrap to keep out dust and bugs.   The completed solar cooker is shown in the pictures below. They placed the cooker in direct sunlight and checked the hot dog every half hour. Their hot dog was completely cooked in 1 ½ hours!  Of course the fun part was eating it. [Read more…]

Today is World Oceans Day! It’s an opportunity to us all to focus on our shared world ocean, learn more and do more to help protect and conserve the ocean, for now and for future generations.

What will you do today to explore, learn, and enjoy the beauty and wonder of our world ocean?

Let’s hope that each and everyone of you at Provo Primary takes the time to reflect on what you can do to protect and conserve them.  With the ocean all around us, let’s all try and dip our toes into the crystal blue waters today and make a splash in celebration of World Oceans Day!

Boca Floppy Williams is first and foremost Ms. Alison’s pet golden retriever, but she also works as an emotional support and therapy dog. This means that she offers help to people who need it. She is really good at sensing when children are upset and she can help make them feel better. If you haven’t already tried it, try talking to her and she’ll answer you through Ms. Alison. (She needs Ms. Alison to interpret what she’s trying to say in dog language.) She even helps relieve pain when children hurt themselves, just by letting them stroke her.  She helps children stop crying and relax so the pain goes away much faster.
