We are excited to share our plans for our Summer Camps this year, running throughout July. Registration is now open and you may either order online via our Isle Help App or in the school office.
We are also happy to announce that Okeanos Juice and Smoothie Bar will be offering $5 lunches for all campers, freshly prepared on the school site daily. See the menu here.
3rd – 28th July: Creative Construction Camp for 2-6 years olds
“for Little Kids with Big Ideas”
Onsite fun, games and environmental themed activities including:
- a creative obstacle course, on our green field, in our shaded playground and in our soft play area
- Arts, crafts and creative construction using the environment as inspiration
- Computing, Music, rhymes and singing games
- Becoming an Okeanos chef’s assistant and help create a healthy lunch
3rd – 14th July: BirdSleuth for 7-13 year olds
BirdSleuth is perfect for the adventurous, environmentally conscious and scientifically minded! Off site trips will include Pirate Cove, Northwest Point National Park, Wheeland Pond, Provo Golf Club lakes and a boat tour of the mangroves or Chalk Sound*. Onsite activities will focus on the creation of bird houses (that can be fitted with cameras for future observations), bird baths and a range of practical games and challenges. To combat the summer heat, we also intend to mix in the usual opportunities to swim and work inside our air-conditioned classrooms.
We look forward to seeing you at camp!
A valuable presentation that we encourage all Early Years parents to take the time to attend:
Thank you to everyone who supported our recent PTA St Valentine’s Bake Sale and Family Skate Night.
Every last Friday of the month is ‘Dress Down Day’. Funds that we raise are passed on to the school council to decide how to use. Funds that are raised in Term 1 are allocated to a global need, Term 2 a local need and Term 3 a school need. There was much debate as to where the Term 1 funds would go. Where could we as a school help make a difference?
As part of our new ‘Helping Hands’ topic in Toddler Class, we spent the week looking at the story of the Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. We learnt from the Rainbow Fish’s experiences that it can be fun to share with our friends. In our games, we enjoyed taking it in turns to catch fish of all the colours of the rainbow. In our creative activities, we really liked passing our friends the silvery scales they needed to finish their Rainbow Fish creations, and working together to craft a big Rainbow Fish with beautiful textures and colours. We are looking forward to a half term of caring, sharing, collaborating and appreciating all the people who help us. What a great way to swim into a fantastic new year of learning!
Thank you to all the children who worked extremely hard to put on their very best performance in our Panto Like No Other Show this weekend. Thank you to our incredible parents for supporting the children and helping them get ready, our PTA for their help with the bar, and our Year 6 parents for the tasty food that was on sale during the evening. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our former parents and community members for their support, not only this year, but also over the past 25 years and for their part in making Provo Primary what it is today.
