A note from the Principal

A note from the Principal

Dear Parents,

This week may have been short, but it was certainly full of learning.

On Tuesday, we had a wonderful parent workshop presented by Mr. Max Hopwood on creating playable games. I was thrilled to see our students enthusiastically supporting their parents and demonstrating the characteristics of effective learning in the process. If you missed this workshop - we have more engaging sessions planned, including Ms. Rachel Stead's music curriculum session next Tuesday from 8am to 9am.

Today, we celebrated Smile Day, a meaningful event in which we learn about and fundraise for Operation Smile. Our students worked collaboratively on a Smile Day mosaic, designing their own tiles based on what brings them joy. I encourage you to take a look at this beautiful mosaic displayed in our Primary snack bar area.

Lastly, we are all looking forward to our annual Fun Day on Saturday, which our fantastic PTG has been working tirelessly to organise. I will be there in the afternoon and I hope to see you all there too!

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our Patana community.

Sarah McCormack




Well-being

Safeguarding at the end of the school day

If you are unable to collect your child, you can ask a neighbour or friend to help to take your child home. We have some new safeguards in place to make sure that the children are safe.

If you would like your child to be collected by another adult please ensure:

  • You email the class teacher and Leader of Learning and Welfare (keme@patana.ac.th)
  • Please copy in reception@patana.ac.th
  • The class teacher will ensure that the Main Reception knows who is taking the child out of school. Reception staff will then be ready to help if there is a query from Security.
  • The collecting adult and the child/ren may only leave via Main Reception. No other gate.

Learning

Our theme for this half term is 'Let's Celebrate'.  You can find out more about this on the Y1 Curriculum Page.  

Junk modelling appeal

We are running low on junk modelling resources in some classrooms.  Please can you send in anything that you have that would be boost our collections.  Many thanks! 


Parents are welcome to come and watch our Sports Day.  The Year 1 Sports Day is 7:45-9:15.  We look forward to seeing you if you can make it.  If there is pollution, there will be a contingency plan.  

General Information

Snacks - Nut Free School

We provided tasty and nutritious snacks each day for the students in class. As some of our children have allergies, please ensure any food sent to school does not contain any sort of nut.

Birthday celebrations

We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.

If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts or cupcakes. Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School.

This week we have the following people celebrating their birthdays:
