You may have seen this poster on our noticeboard at school.  The event is this weekend, so let us remind you of what it’s all about.

Tamika Handfield, a parent at the school, is excited to hold her 2^nd annual ACCU Nutrition Move-a-thon on January 12^th, 2013 beginning at 5:30am.  Her first move-a-thon, last year was a huge success with well over 200 persons in attendance, with quite a few Provo Primary families participating.  Tamika’s goal for this year’s event is that it will be bigger and better.

Provo Primary is happy to promote this event and hopes that your family is able to participate.  It’s an early start, but we hope you’ll think it’s worth the effort!  So feel welcome to join in, wearing our school’s colours and taking our school spirit.  Read on to find out more details and download your registration-form here or pick one up at school.

Our school garden is thriving at the moment thanks to some generous donations, community helpers and our very keen and green fingered gardening club.

The gardening clubs is a self-formed group of children, mainly from Year 3 and 4.  Under the guidance of parent helper, Catherine, they work in the garden every Tuesday, sowing, weeding, pruning and replanting.  They also tend to the garden every day during their play times and lunch times.  They certainly are a dedicated bunch and their hard work is certainly paying off!

Many thanks goes to Maria and Jim for donating two banana plants from their garden this week.  We have successfully grown bananas before and look forward to these flourishing and supplying us with some delicious bananas in the future.

We have also had kind donations of some herbs and tomato seedlings from Island Fresh Produce, our local hydroponic farm.

Why not step into our garden on your next visit to the school?  We would be happy to show you around.  Click on to see some photos of our gardening club members and our growing produce. [Read more…]

Provo Primary School are thinking about what ‘Beautiful by Nature, protected by us’ means to them. The National Trust and Turks and Caicos Conservation Society have asked schools – how can we conserve our island for generations to come?

What does the slogan mean to you?  Read on to find out how each class in our school have expressed their ideas through art and writing.

Provo Primary School was proud to be a part of a Guinness World Record attempt last Friday.  National Geographic Kids aimed to organise ‘the most people running 100 metres in 24 hours’.  It was an exciting event to be a part of.  It wasn’t about who came first, it was about everyone taking part.  It certainly was fun and we all looked very colourful in our orange and black dress-down day clothes!

The ‘Guinness Book of Records’ books are very popular in all the classes and the thought that we could be in the next edition, and be able to say that we had broken a world record, was an exciting prospect.   Well done to each and every one of you.  In the words of the late Roy Castle…’You’re a Record breaker!’

A big thank you goes out to Matthew and Sonia at the TCIFA National Soccer Academy for letting us use their pitch and also for them offering to witness our record breaking attempt.

Children from Provo Primary School joined volunteers around the world to pick up rubbish from our coastal environment.  International Coastal Cleanup, is an annual event to raise awareness of the importance of keeping the world’s waterways and oceans clean. Well done and thank you to the families who got up ‘super’ early to join in other community members, cleaning up the Children’s Park Beach in the Bight.  The children did a great job and, although they were disappointed by the amount of rubbish they actually collected, they felt proud that they had  cleaned up an area that is often enjoyed by children.  The clean up was organised by the ‘Environmental Club’ together with the DEMA.  They hope to see this becoming an annual event on our TCI calendars.
