Across the school, we are looking forward to celebrating ‘World Book Day’ together next Thursday and have a number of activities planned.  The School Council will be organising a ‘Book Swap’, with all classes being encouraged to participate. Simply bring in a book and swap it for another.  It’s a great way to share books you’ve read and to choose something new.

Early Years (Toddler, PS, JK and SK) Book Character Dress Up

All of our younger students are invited to come to school dressed as one of their favourite story characters.  From fairy tale characters to superheroes, this is a colourful and creative way to celebrate the world of books.

KS1/2 Book and Reading Activities

Throughout the day, the older students will join in with cross-curricular activities about books and reading.  In the morning, students from the British West Indies Collegiate will come to read with us. It’s always heartening to see these young adults together with our children and witness both age groups gaining so much from the experience.

In the afternoon, we’ll be having a storytelling session.  Bring your PJs and a favourite bedtime toy or cushion as we snuggle down to enjoy stories together.

Take a look at www.worldbookday.com and find out more about this special book day.

‘Secret Angel Week’ is a special time when all of our staff gets to experience a little love and appreciation from each other. This is the fourth year of having this event at the school and it is a very much loved and enjoyed time in our calendar.

A bit like a ‘Secret Santa’, we each were assigned someone to be an ‘Angel’ to, with our task being to shower them with secret surprises over the week. From hand-picked flowers to caring poems, delicious food treats to special gifts, we were all amazed by each others’ creative ideas and appreciative of their kind thoughtfulness. As intrigue over who’s angel was who’s gathered each day, we all looked forward to the ‘grand ‘revealing of our angels on the final day and took the opportunity to thank them kindly for all they had done for us to make us feel special.  What a super week!

We encourage you to introduce a ‘Secret Angel’ event to your workplace— we introduced it the first year with just a single day and it was so fun that we extended it to a week.  We know you’ll love it and enjoy seeing how its happy effect spreads to each and every one of your team.  Check out some info about it on the https://blog.mindvalley.com/love-into-the-workplace/ and let us know if you are planning to join in the fun.

Happy New Year to all of our families (past and present) and friends, near and far around the world! We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our new parents and families to life at Provo Primary School.

Welcome back to what promises to be a busy but exciting term.  It has been lovely seeing the children returning to school today with such energy and enthusiasm, reuniting with friends, settling back into their classes and beginning the new year with a positive ‘get busy’ attitude.

Look out for more information on what’s ahead in our Term 2 calendar and class newsletters and topic maps that will be sent out this week.
