As part of our World Book Day celebrations, the School Council organised a ‘Book Swap’ event. It was lovely to see everyone from Toddlers to Year 6 browsing through the vast collection of donations and happily going home with new books to entertain themselves. My favourite time had to be seeing the face of one of our youngest children beam with an enormous smile when she chose ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’, a book they had been reading in class as part of our Talk4Writing initiative. She was so happy!
From Paddington Bear, to the Cat in the Hat and Horrid Henry, colourful characters were everywhere to be seen at Provo Primary on World Book Day. All the children were invited to come dressed up as their favourite story book character and take part a day of fun reading activities. The children enjoyed the opportunity to parade in front of each other, and in their classes talked about their book characters and why they chose to dress up as them. Guest storytellers also came to read stories to the children in our garden area and we even had a teddy bear’s picnic!
On the day before World Book Day, we were lucky enough to have a visit from 19 Year 9 students from British West Indies Collegiate. The whole of Key Stages 1 and 2 were treated to three different dramatic performances carried out by the students. Head of English at the Collegiate, Miss Tessa Rankin, explained that the pupils had used traditional fairy tales as their starting point, but had chosen to intertwine different tales in their own completely independent and individual ways. Each group performed in costume to Years 1 & 2, 3 & 4 and 5 & 6.
Our 4th annual Skate Night was almost a couple of weeks ago, but with all of our recent events, we are only just getting to post these memorable photos. The turnout was amazing with beaming smiles of happy Provo Primary and community families skating the night away!
This year across the school, we have begun to explore ‘Talk4Writing‘, which is an innovative approach to developing speech and teaching creative and non-fiction writing that is fun, engaging and motivating for children. Following on from our Literacy Week showcase last Friday, we are very excited to share with you, our series of amazing Talking Text videos, which we have recorded across the school. These will be posted weekly on our blog. We hope you enjoy watching them as much as we do!
As Year 5 and Kindergarten have both been studying about Space as part of their topics this term, and since both have made moon buggies, this was a wonderful opportunity to work together and share the models they have made!
We invite all parents and friends of Provo Primary School to join us today for our fantastic Open House Literacy Talk4Writing Showcases!
Year 6 students have enjoyed studying the human body; which has been the main focus of our learning in science this term. They made an impressive start to this topic by relaying facts that they already knew about the human body and the questions that they wanted to explore about bodily functions as the topic progressed.
“We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day. We’re not scared! Oh no, what’s that? Two big, goggly eyes, two big, furry ears, one wet, shiny nose. It’s… a… bear! Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Come and join in the fun at our family beach day with the Sailing Club at The Bight Beach Park on Sunday 8th March from 3-6PM. The Sailing Club activities will start from 1PM.
Our Year 5 and 6 School Councils Reps were lucky enough to attend a special Education Week ‘Living History’ activity afternoon at another local school yesterday.
Chess club has been a growing success. With quite a few beginner players, it’s great to see how they are now starting their games with clear opening moves, more carefully thought-out game play and a clearer idea on how to position their pieces to check mate their opponent.
As part of our Tuesday and Thursday Spanish Immersion mornings, Mrs. Yorka has been exploring our new topic, Growing and Changes. The children have learned all about girasoles (sunflowers) and the different parts of the plant, as well as planting and exploring our school garden.
The Ministry of Education, Youth, Sports & Library Services cordially invites the general public to celebrate this year’s Education Week: March 1st -6th, under the theme “Unite for Quality Education: Better Education for a Better World”.
