Over the next couple of weeks, many of the teachers will be hosting ‘reading’ worshop meetings. Come and learn more about how teachers and children approach reading in our school, how our reading scheme and library books are organised and how you as parents can help your child on their reading journey, as they progress through the school.
Look out for all of the posters displayed on your child’s class noticeboard next week for details. Please ask your child’s teacher for further information and let them know if you are able to attend.

During their summer holidays, chances are that children may be spending more time online with their computers and mobile devices. 
We are very excited to announce that Provo Primary’s Flamingos and Chicks is back in session tomorrow and will continue throughout the summer on Tuesdays, 8.30 to 10am.
Last week Year 4 were extremely fortunate to have a TCI kayaking and snorkeling field trip in association with Big Blue Unlimited. This was to coincide with their topic work this term. We have been immersing ourselves in the wonders of the Turks and Caicos Islands and all the amazing habitats and creatures with which we are blessed . We’ve studied how different living organisms work together in our beautiful mangroves and coral reefs. We have also looked at how these ecosystems have been affected by our society over the years and how we can ensure that we preserve them.
During their recent science topic on Growing Plants, Hummingbird Class Year 1 students were challenged to learn all the different parts of a plant. By observing, drawing, labeling and even translating into Spanish, all children became able to discuss the terms root, stem, leaf, flower, seed and fruit. We explored these in our own school garden and noticed the huge variety in plants we see every day.
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 
What a fantastic Friday afternoon at Provo Primary School! After completing a two week project, the children of Osprey class were able to open the doors to the Yr. 2 Class Museum!
The Year 3s were really inspired by their recent visit to a beautiful garden. Having made close observational drawings of fruits and vegetables, they came back to school with sketches and patterns. They used these in a number of activities which, when put together, decorated the special ‘book bags’ that Mrs. Betty had made for them.
