Year 5/6 have been learning about how we describe clothes in Spanish, with not only colour and size adjectives but also using qualitative adjectives too. The children have become so confident describing people and their clothes that we decided to have a mini-fashion show. During the show, the children described the clothes the models were wearing, adding some of their own opinions about them.
What is truly impressive is that the children all created and wrote their own part of the fashion show in Spanish, independently beforehand. Moreover most of them were comfortable reading these parts out in front of a camera. What superb Spanish accents everyone!
Well done to our dedicated environmentally-conscious families who rose early this morning to participate in the 5th annual Earth Day TCI Shines Clean-up campaign. Thank you for taking part in this community event to help keep our island ‘beautiful by nature’.
Students in Flamingo Class have been busy researching aspects of Ancient Roman life this week, in preparation for a great debate!
While the Year 3 Dolphins are busy learning about how a balanced meal should contain certain food groups to make a meal a ‘healthy meal’ – proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals (such as calcium) and a small amount of fats and sugars, the JK class have been busy growing their own vegetables, and selling lots of healthy, vitamin full fruits and vegetables at their class (make-believe) shop.
Last term certainly was busy with lots of events and activities that enriched the children’s learning. In particular, our Science theme week, PE showcases, sports days, bike-athons, community fundraisers and PTA bunny activities were all a great success. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all their hard work and support in helping us provide this wonderful variety of events – children, teachers, parents and community helpers alike.
It is tradition here at Provo Primary to hold a special Egg Hunt to mark the end of the Spring term. This year was no egg-ception! The bunny, ably assisted by his egg-stremely dedicated team of PTA volunteers, hid goodie-filled eggs throughout the school play areas. The egg-stremely egg-cited children eagerly searched out the eggs, many of which were a challenge to find. Teachers and on-lookers enthusiastically ‘egged’ everyone on until everyone found 3 eggs each.
Spring was certainly in the air this morning with our spectacular EYFS Spring Bonnet Parade. What a wonderful variety of bonnets, with flowers, chicks, eggs and bunnies galore! All the older children and parents enjoyed seeing all the hat designs, each one showing such amazing creativity. What a lovely way to celebrate the end of our spring term!
