It is tradition here at Provo Primary to hold a special Egg Hunt to mark the end of the Spring term. This year was no egg-ception! The bunny, ably assisted by his egg-stremely dedicated team of PTA volunteers, hid goodie-filled eggs throughout the school play areas. The egg-stremely egg-cited children eagerly searched out the eggs, many of which were a challenge to find. Teachers and on-lookers enthusiastically ‘egged’ everyone on until everyone found 3 eggs each.
As a special egg-stra surprise for each class, the bunny hid 5 bonus eggs to be discovered. One of these was the ‘Golden Egg’, which was particularly well hidden.
After a busy time burrowing around, the egg-hausted children gathered together to open their eggs and enjoy their treats.
All the children then cheered a big thank you to the PTA and the bunny for such an egg-cellent egg hunt – Well done everyone!
Spring was certainly in the air this morning with our spectacular EYFS Spring Bonnet Parade. What a wonderful variety of bonnets, with flowers, chicks, eggs and bunnies galore! All the older children and parents enjoyed seeing all the hat designs, each one showing such amazing creativity. What a lovely way to celebrate the end of our spring term!

Our Preschool class had lots of fun bouncing like ‘Bouncing Ben’ from Letterland.
The Toddlers Run-A-Thon was a great success! The toddlers ran ten whole laps on green field. That is the Toddler equivalent to the Boston Marathon! We ran with our teachers, with rainbow streamers blowing behind us as we blazed ahead! Ready, Set, Run! Click on ‘Read More…’ below to see more photos.
Our theme during ‘Keeping Healthy Week’ is ‘The Science of Sports’ and our bike-a-thon provided a wonderful opportunity to explore the science of cycling.

Next week is ‘Keeping Healthy Week’. Following the theme of our Education Week on Science, we will focus on “The Science of Sports”. Over the week we have organised a few activities and events to explore the theme and to help raise awareness for the importance of developing healthy life choices.
Years 4, 5 and 6 carried on from a superlative Science Week with a superb visit to the British West Indies Collegiate School. Year 3 had been visited by two of their pupils during Science Week.
The Year 3 Dolphins have found out that if you were a misbehaving child that lived amongst the Native Indian Iroquois tribe, your parents would not just tell you off, they would either throw water at you, or you might even get dunked in a stream to help you to mend your ways. However, if you were very, very naughty you would be sent to meet the incredibly scary Mr Longnose.
As part of World Book day, Year 5/6 took on the challenge of working in teams to complete a specially designed non-fiction quiz. The quiz was organised to ensure the children had to think carefully about how a library references its books. They also had to focus on key words in each question to work out where they would find the answer. The children worked together superbly and used their solid understanding of how to approach a non-fiction book (using contents, glossary and index) to identify the page/s needed. It was a really close competition with teams finishing just seconds after each other!
To celebrate ‘World Read Aloud Day’, children across the school shared and read science books together. Children in our Year 2 class made their own books about insects that we find here in the TCI and shared these with the Year 1. Our Year 5/6 class connected with a school in the USA and read to each other over the Internet. Buddy reading is always so much fun!
Each day of Science Week, our Ks1 and 2 classes took turns to challenge their fellow students with an exciting ‘True or False Science Quiz’!
In Year 1, we have been learning that some of the food that we eat comes from plants. In fact, many of the fruits and vegetables that come from the supermarket have grown from plants.
