Mishka is Ms Alison’s dog and he is much loved in our Provo Primary community. When he comes into school he loves lots of attention – especially tummy rubs.

Mishka likes to check that the children are working hard and doing well! Here he is reading through some Year 4 Literacy work.  He is particularly pleased when he see lots of creative ideas, but he is a bit of a stickler for punctuation use!  “Woof, Woof!” he barks, which translates as “Well done, boys, but I can see some commas that need to be added!”

To celebrate the first ever ‘World Osprey Week’, Provo Primary School and DEMA will be holding a Class Osprey Art Competition for Year 2 to Year 6.

Use pencils and coloured pencils to create a drawing of an osprey.  You can choose to draw a close up of an osprey, focus in on its head or talons, draw an osprey in a nest, flying or hunting, draw a scene from a distance…the choice is yours, be as creative as you can.

Certificates will be presented to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class.
There will also be a small prize for the 1 place winners.

Remember that we have some special, new osprey books in the library which you make like to use to inspire your art work.  You also might like to visit an osprey nesting site this weekend to see a real osprey.

Click on ‘read more’ to see some photos to help inspire your artwork.

All artwork needs to come into school next week by Thursday 27 March.

Let’s take our Year 3’s on trip down memory lane as we enjoy hearing them retell the story of The Hungry Caterpillar in Spanish. 🙂

2014 marks the 45th anniversary of Eric Carle’s classic story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The anniversary is officially celebrated on the annual “Very Hungry Caterpillar Day” which takes place every year on the first day of spring (March 20th).

I wonder how many bedtime story-times tonight will tell the story of that very special caterpillar’s gastronomic adventures, bringing joy and memories for generations of children, parents and grandparents around the globe.

Dress Down Day last month celebrated the favourite colours of two much-loved students who were sadly leaving the school to islands new.

The creative idea came from one of our Year 6 students who organised the event and kept it top-secret, together with all the children and teachers in the school.  What a lovely way to say goodbye to two amazing girls and a family that has been at the school for over six years.  Everyone enjoyed taking part in the surprise, dressing up in red, pink, purple and blue.  The two girls were very touched.  I know they will be dearly missed, but much welcomed by their new school and community.  We hope to keep in touch and hear of your new adventures soon.

Well done to our caring and thoughtful Year 6 student for speaking out and making it happen.   It really goes to show the power of a small act of kindness and the great impact it can create!
