A moment presented itself on Friday for us to video our Year 3 and 5 children singing ‘This Land of Ours’, the unofficial national song of the Turks and Caicos Islands. This song accompanies ‘God Save our Queen,’ the official national anthem of the country at every major event and special ceremony.
Written and composed by the recently passed Rev. Dr. Conrad Howell, it is a song that’s sincere words unites all who are fortunate to live here in the Turks and Caicos, celebrates its natural beauty and reminds us of our duty to protect this for the future.
Only 3 more days left to join in…

In Year 6, the children go on a week long field trip to really develop their sense of independence and confidence before they transition to secondary school. In the last few years, I have introduced an overnight stay to North and Middle Caicos in Year 5 as a precursor to the Year 6 trip. It has been hugely successful and this year was no exception! We would like to thank Mr. Mark Parrish from Big Blue for his outstanding local environmental knowledge and our amazing parent helper, Mr Anthony. We would also like to thank all of the friendly residents of North and Middle Caicos for welcoming and looking after us.
Our Year 6 adventurers returned home today full of stories and tales to tell of their 5 day trip to 
Unfortunately, the upcoming PTA Bingo Night has been postponed. Please don’t despair though, a new date will be announced in September.
PROVO PRIMARY SCHOOL
Inspired by the recent visit of Rob Stewart (shark photographer and conservationist) to the TCI, our own ‘Shark Week’ was a fantastic mix of a whole range of activities, including visits from local dive photographers and the TCI Shark Action Team.
Year One has been delving into learning all about our latest topic, My Country: TCI. On Monday, we took a trip to the Conch Farm. Richard, our tour guide, was very patient and gave us a real hands-on experience. We were able to see the different stages of growth conch go through and we were able to hold conch of different ages.
In Science we have been looking at Teeth and in Numeracy we have been looking at Fractions. To combine our shark learning we decided to make some pop-up sharks with different coloured teeth. Look out for these beautiful sharks when you are out snorkeling next time!
PTA Movie Night
Check out the latest news on this year’s recent World Osprey Week. We get a mention and it’s lovely to see what other schools around the world have been up to.
Each year we dedicate a week to learning about wildlife in our local environment. Shark week follows on from our successful Osprey Week last year. This week across the school, classes are investigating sharks.
As part of our Community Helpers Topic the J.K’s have been investigating and identifying local community people and their careers. We have extended our school culture exploration of the Animal Hospital in our Home Corner to visiting The Turks and Caicos Veterinary Clinic. The children have been able to explore their own ideas about how to care for animals while making links between their current understanding and their increasing knowledge. These meaningful experiences offer such enrichment to learning.
