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 children were set the task of turning their classroom into an interactive museum. But it couldn’t just have any old thing in it…it had to be something ‘interesting, unique or even surprising that is or was from any of the Turks and Caicos Islands.’
Over 19 exhibits later (all with information sheets or posters to accompany them) and we were set for our Grand Opening! Did you know that Grand Turk has a lighthouse? It hasn’t been lived in for some years and is now used for whale watching. Would you believe the sand piles in the Turks and Caicos were originally mistaken for igloos? Some of the other contributions included lemon grass, the turks head cactus, sea fans, driftwood, straw baskets and many more.
After a lovely letter from Miss Sian, encouraging us to smile and enjoy telling our facts, Yr. 2 prepared for each class in school to come and visit. We are lucky enough, at Provo Primary, to have fantastic supportive students and they enthusiastically looked at the artefacts, asked questions and made a huge effort to support their peers.
After a very exciting morning, Osprey class began to prepare for the special guests…their parents! And WOW! What an amazing job they did! Yr. 2 surpassed themselves, enthusiastically presenting their items, demonstrating their knowledge and answering questions. The children were absolutely outstanding and should be incredibly proud of how hard they worked on their projects and how wonderfully they represented themselves and the school. Well done!
