Each Dress Down Day a class will have the opportunity to hold an activity for the whole school to enjoy. This may be a fundraising initiative for a project in their class or simply a time to share or celebrate something special.
This month the kindergarteners are having a bake sale as part of their emergent curriculum topic “School is Cool: Building a community in our classroom and at Provo Primary”. The class has been working together to improve the outside house area (they have named it ‘The village’). They have decided that they need more outdoor materials for this play space. They made a shopping list and presented it to Ms Alison and Miss Sian. It includes cups, plates, pots, food, a tea party set with a teapot, a table for the kitchen and shovel and buckets to make sand castles.
They have planned the bake sale to raise money for these extra toys that they believe are important for the village play area. I am sure donations of these toy items will also be gratefully received. The Year 1 class has also joined in with the bake sale as they share the play areas with the Kindergarten class.
So when you come to pick up your child today, come ready for your senses to be enchanted by the wonderful array of baked goodies to tempt you and know that as you enjoy these, the Kindergarteners and Year 1s will be most thankful for your support.
Take the pledge to help turn the tide on ocean trash – mark your calendars, set your alarms and give 30 minutes of your time for a place that gives you hours of enjoyment throughout the year.

Well done to our dedicated environmentally-conscious families who rose early this morning to participate in the 5th annual Earth Day TCI Shines Clean-up campaign. Thank you for taking part in this community event to help keep our island ‘beautiful by nature’.
Last term certainly was busy with lots of events and activities that enriched the children’s learning. In particular, our Science theme week, PE showcases, sports days, bike-athons, community fundraisers and PTA bunny activities were all a great success. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all their hard work and support in helping us provide this wonderful variety of events – children, teachers, parents and community helpers alike.
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.
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!
