A note from the Principal

A highlight of this week, perhaps even the term, was International Day on Tuesday. With over 60 nationalities represented in our parade, six cultures highlighted in the cultural show and a huge variety of country cuisine in the Food Hall, it really was quite spectacular. A huge thank you to PTG, Marketing, Building and Grounds, ISIT and all those who helped to organise this special occasion.

The return of International Day, and other events and activities, is perhaps a barometer that the worst of the pandemic appears to be behind us. As we emerge from the malaise of the last few years, it is so wonderful to see the energy, vibrancy, happiness and human connection that these occasions bring.

Down in Nursery, they have also been experiencing the joys of life and I invite you to enjoy our video footage of one of our class butterflies emerging from its cocoon. Thank you to Mr Jeck for setting up a GoPro to capture this sight!

Proud of you Patana!

Learning

Our theme for learning is 'Lost in Lego'.  

Please visit the Y1 Curriculum page to find out more.  

Swimming

The swimming team have been busy planning fun, active and engaging lessons for our KS1 students. This a reminder that our swimming lessons are an important part of our curriculum, especially for physical development, water confidence, and water safety.

If for any reason your child cannot swim, please inform your class teacher, and include a medical note so that they can inform Miss Zoe (PE curriculum lead) and the swim team.

Should you have any concerns about your child's swimming please do contact us and we can arrange a meeting with Miss Zoe to discuss these concerns further.

Well-being

Please remember that Block B ECAs begin next week. Make sure that your child knows what they have after school each day and what their home time arrangements are.

Global Citizenship

General Information

A DEIJ workshop

DEIJ- Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and Justice Workshop is an introductory workshop on DEIJ hosted by PTG & Cindy Adair, Cross Campus Principal CPL on November 24th at 8AM, Cross Campus Staff Room.

This workshop will aim to share the start of our journey as a school to ensure that every community member (regardless of race, gender, nationality, body type or sexuality) feels protected, safe and secure as well as a sense of belonging.

Please RSVP with the following link: https://forms.gle/LtQeKyjVbEA5RdXZ6

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.

We only have one student celebrating a birthday this week.
