A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
It’s been another superb week in the Primary school with the
rhythm of school life firmly back. I have very much enjoyed catching up with
the students each lunch time in the canteen and hearing about the excitement of
being in a new class. Time passes by so quickly, that I can’t believe that
those children who were in Year 4 when I joined Patana are now in their last
year of Primary.
This year, I am pleased to be teaching Ms. Anna Caswell’s class in Year 5. Each
member of the Primary leadership team has a weekly teaching responsibility and
I am delighted to be supporting Year 5 for 2 hours a week, when Ms. Anna has
her leadership cover. This will be my 20th year as a teacher,
another unbelievable passing of time, and I know I still have a lot to learn!
Next Tuesday, we begin our parent partnership series and I look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible. Please RSVP here if you would like to attend.

Learning
Introduction to the Learning: Tuesday, 29th of August
These meetings provide an opportunity for parents to hear more about the learning within each year group, to visit the classroom, and to meet the class teacher.
No parent sign-up is required please just come along to your child's classroom at either 2:45 or 3:30 where the teachers will be sharing a presentation.
The presentations will be shared via our blogs for those who cannot attend.
We encourage parents to send their Child/ren home as normal as there will be limited supervision in school, or they can join the presentation.
*Limited supervision will be available in the library and it will stay open until 4:15 p.m. so that parents can come to the library to collect their child/ren afterward.
**Both sessions will be the same presentation.

Junk Modelling Resources

Preventing the spread of colds and flu
Please help us to prevent outbreaks of cold or flu as we head into the rainy season.
Children with cold or flu (influenza) symptoms should be kept at home until they are completely recovered.
Even when the main symptoms have gone, your child may still need time to return to full strength.
Please do not send your child back to school too soon, even if they are no longer in the contagious phase.
If your child is still coughing or sneezing, please keep them at home and limit their contact with other children.
A child who has a fever should be kept at home until ‘fever free’ for a minimum of 24 hours.
Influenza is a serious and contagious infection that affects the nose, throat, and respiratory system.
The virus is commonly spread through droplets in the air, allowing infection to spread quickly.
When unsure, always seek medical advice, especially if a child has a chronic condition e.g., asthma.
If Influenza is confirmed, please send a copy of the medical certificate to Nurse@patana.ac.th
Allergies and Dietary Requirements
Please ensure your child/ren's medical information is fully up to date on our systems.
Should your child suffer from critical conditions related to their diet they are no longer able to eat any birthday treats brought into school from outside.
We encourage parents now to provide a small box of dry snacks/treats that their child can eat, which the class teacher can keep, and use during any celebrations in class.
Playground use before and after school
Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.
There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30.
The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.
We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.
Birthday celebrations
The following students are celebrating next week...
Cassie (1C)
A very happy birthday to you from everyone in Year 1!
Reminder: 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 and also check with the class teacher for any other dietary requirements of the class.
