A unique Primary School, offering a British based, child centred education in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Many thanks to those Grade 6 parents who came along to our SATs Information Evening on 18th January.
   
In England, all Grade 6 children sit SATs before leaving Primary School – this is how they are assessed in Maths, English and Science. As Provo Primary School follows the English National Curriculum, our Grade 6 children will sit these tests too. They are based on the work the children have done from Grades 3 to 6.
Welcome back to a new term and a new year, 2007. I hope that you all had a good break over the holiday period and it’s good to see the children back and ready for some exciting learning.
I would like to welcome all the new members of the school, staff, parents and children alike. I’m sure that you will enjoy your time here at Provo Primary.

The children were wonderful, costumes absolutely gorgeous and dances performed beautifully.
Provo Primary’s little ones put on a great Christmas performance and showed everyone just what they are capable of. The show began with the Toddlers singing Twinkle Twinkle and Jingle Bells… [Read more…]
Our Christmas lunch was a HUGE success today when the children were served turkey with all the trimmings!
Last Friday was ‘Bad Taste/Bad Hair’ Dress Down Day in order to raise money for UNICEF.
Throughout the week children had collected from friends and family as well as from their own funds because they knew that just a little would make a difference to other children .
Wow, What a fantastic result!!! Over $1,000 was collected which will go to help children have clean water, good health, education and adequate food.
You have made a difference to hundreds of children – well done every single one of you!!
Today we began our 4th annual collection for UNICEF.
In our school assembly, we learned about UNICEF and how it helps children around the world to have access to basic things like medicine, clean water, food, and an education.
We learned how we could all make a big difference to the lives of other children, by fund raising for money to put into our little orange boxes and by donating a dollar on our special ‘Bad Taste or Bad Hair Day’ dress-down day on Friday 27th October.
We learned that we truly have the power to change the world, because it only takes pennies to save a life! Every penny counts, with only 7 cents paying for crayons for a class of children, or $1 to pay for a shot that helps children not get sick.
Help your child learn the importance of helping others in need and to feel empowered to make a real difference. Talk to them about how they could fund raise at home, e.g., by doing chores and remind them to return their orange box on dress-down Day, Friday 27th October for the big count up!
Learn even more about how UNICEF helps children by playing the UNICEF World Heroes game. Your mission: collect essential supplies in your UNICEF truck, and deliver them to kids in need around the world!
Are you ready to rumble?
If so, hurry on down to Graceway Sports Centre and enroll your child in the inline skating hockey programme, run by the infamous Provo Hockey League (PHL).
Final registration is today Saturday 21st October from 12-2 pm and practices begin from 2-5.30 pm on the same day.
Although most of us were not born in the Turks and Caicos Islands, this is where we live and it is important to know how it got to be the way it is now. Miss Marva from Palencia Academy has been doing a Social Studies project which includes looking at the history of the islands. We’ve found that different groups of people have inhabited the islands at different times leaving their mark. They came, and left, for different reasons but have all contributed to the way that Turks and Caicos has developed. We will also help shape how it continues to develop.

Has Floppy had babies? Rumor has it that two new pups seen at school are the children of Floppy the Dog!
Miss Jeannette gave birth to healthy 7lb baby girl, Raven, on Friday afternoon. She went to Mytle Rigby Clinic at 2:30pm and baby Raven was born before 3:00pm! Mum and baby are both doing well and hope to be home this weekend. We all wish you the best!
Here are two students who are members of our local library here on Provo and regularly go to the ‘Readers Club’ on Saturday mornings. I met up with them there to find out more. [Read more…]
Due to the success of the trial period, we are extending the menu offered to children in school. Hot lunches will now be available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Judging by the children’s (and parents’) comments, I am sure they will be a popular option! Click on the link to see October’s menu.
Children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of ‘after school’ clubs starting on Monday October 2nd. These include Yoga, Sports, Crafts and Steel Band to name a few. Clubs cost $8 per session- please see the office for booking forms. Click on the link below to see this term’s choices.
