Donned with gloves and large rubbish bags, a group of keen Provo Primary children and staff joined forces with employees from The Alexandra Resort for the TCI SHINES CLEAN-UP.
Starting off at our school at 6:30 am we focused on the area around the Sports’ Centre and Soccer Field. Sadly, there was quite a lot of rubbish to be found, which was mainly drink containers and food wrappers. Fortunately, our enthusiastic team of junk-busters soon swooped in and picked it all up. It was so lovely to look back and see the natural beauty restored after our efforts. The children were proud of their efforts, but slightly bemused and disappointed that people had dropped their litter in the first place and didn’t understand why they hadn’t put it in a bin or taken it home. There is hope for a cleaner future.
The TCI Shines Clean-up event was organised by the Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association. They were excited about getting the children on the island of Providenciales to participate in this campaign and hope this will be the beginning of a programme that promotes, educates and inspires our youth to keep our islands ‘Beautiful by Nature’.
Well done to everyone who got up early and took the time to care for our local community environment. Also, well done to those of you who joined in with other groups or took the time to clean up the area around your own home. Every bit of effort makes a difference to show that we care.
Fitness trainer Jo took us through our paces and got our hearts pumping on Wednesday morning during our Keeping Healthy Week. The children (and teachers) really enjoyed the short active routine and were keen to participate and get their bodies moving to the beat. Many thanks Jo – one of the best ways to encourage children to exercise is to lead by example.
Kindergarten really enjoyed their Maths work today on patterns – they got to eat them! Using healthy fruits that had been donated to the class for ‘Keeping Healthy Week’, they created patterns by carefully sliding on pieces of watermelon and pineapple onto a kebab stick. Yum, Yum!
In our Science lessons Hummingbird class have been doing a variety of activities to help us to learn about our bodies. We have been taking our learning outside to draw around our friends and label the organs we have inside our bodies together. We are also learning about the functions of our main organs, starting with the lungs. We are looking forward to discovering more information about our muscles and our heart in the next few weeks!
Our Preschool Class has had a wonderful first few weeks at school. The children adore their new class room which is filled with lots of fun and educational activities. They love to dress up, play with cars, paint, glue, sing and do puzzles! Soft play is just the best for bouncing around and letting loose! Our new swing set is great fun and lots of water play has helped us to cool down in this HOT September weather. Nursery Rhymes is our first topic this term and as we learn them we are developing our vocabulary skills. Our class aim is to bake or cook once a week……Mmmm, we have already made sugar cookies and muffins. Last week the class also went on a mini school trip around every classroom delivering them. Read on to see lots and lots of photos of us in busy at school. 
Summer camp was fun filled with a variety of activities. Here is some of the wonderful art work the children created over the week. Read more to see more pieces together with their artists.
As the 2010-2011 academic year draws to an end, we reflect on our academic successes. In high school entrance exams, all of the children successfully passed and gained places at the school of their choice.
