All of our classes study aspects of the Turks and Caicos Islands (T.C.I) as part of their Social Studies Curriculum. The Grade 2 class did some research about our past and present leaders. They created portraits of each leader using recycled material. These are displayed in the classroom in chronological order. Take a closer look at our leaders on our slideshow. The music playing is our National Song – ‘This Land of Ours’ written and composed by Reverend Dr. Conrad Howell. Click on to read the words to this song.
This Land of Ours
O we salute this land of ours
Our country we declare
This promise land with its beauties grand
Though small it is our own
CHORUS
Turks and Caicos, Turks and Caicos
Our country firm and free
Our allegiance Turks and Caicos
We pledge and we affirm.
Our people forged and blend
With multiplicity
Of race and kind and creed and tongue
United by our goals
From the east, west, north and south
Our banks and oceans meet
Surrounding sands and hills of glee
Our pristine beauties see
We stand with courage brave
To maintain this land of ours
With Islands scattered here and there
With trust in God we stand
Lyrics and music by: Reverend Dr. Conrad Howell
