A note from Mrs McCormack (Primary Principal):

Dear Parents,

As we embark on Term 2B, I hope each of you had a rejuvenating first week back with us.

It is with sadness that I share news of Khun Puy's passing. Khun Puy served as our housekeeper in Year 4 and was a valued member of the Patana staff for 8 years. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family during this difficult time.

If you would like to offer condolences, please share them with K. Pom in the Primary Office, and we will ensure they reach Khun Puy's family.

Mathematics

At Patana, we use White Rose Maths to support the development of our Mathematics curriculum. White Rose have created ‘1-Minute Maths’, a free app available on all operating systems. This app is a fun, engaging way for children to develop their mathematical fluency and is a great way for children to consolidate their learning at home.

Teach Your Monster Number Skills is another exciting platform for KS1 Mathematics learners. This website is free when using a desktop and the app is available for purchase on Apple and the Google Play store.

If you prefer to avoid using devices, please encourage your child to engage in ‘real-world’ Mathematics. This might be earning money by helping at home, paying for items at the shop, cooking dinner or baking for family or keeping track of the time. Mathematics is all around us!

World Book Day – Thursday 7th March

There are some exciting book themed activities planned for this special day. Please note that it will not be a dress up day.

We invite families to donate a brand-new children’s book (Thai Language Please) which will passed to one of our charities:

  • FS - Home of Praise (age 2-5)
  • Y2 - Children of the Forest (age 5-11)
  • Y3 - Thomas House (age 5-11)
  • Y4 - Mercy Centre (age 5-11)
If you wish to donate a book, your child should hand it to their class teacher during the month of March.
