Living our school values: 

We are kind and caring! 

This week we celebrated Friendship Friday and learnt all about the charities we support in the wider communities of Thailand.

A note from the Principal

Relationships are at the heart of a great school and all learning. This week, we have seen the importance of connection demonstrated in our wonderful Friendship Day. It was fantastic to see our Charities on Friday morning and all the thoughtful work happening in classes.

On Tuesday, myself and Ms. Carol hosted a superb parent session entitled ‘Helping your child to thrive at Bangkok Patana’. As a first for us, this session was offered in two languages and we really valued the opportunity to connect with our parents in this way.

3 Way Conferences - Thursday 10th November

Year 1 and Year 2

Thursday 10th November - school closed for regular lessons

All ECAs and transport - cancelled

Conferences are scheduled for up to 3 families at the same time for 45 minutes.

We encourage you to play and learn alongside your child in their learning environment. Your child’s class teacher will be present to support and guide your visit. However, the teacher won’t be with your child for the full duration. During this time, you will get to experience how and what your child enjoys learning and what they are proud of so far this year.

Students should wear their school uniform.

Specialist Subjects:

Although we are unable to schedule appointments with specialist teachers on this day, we encourage children to collect stickers in their conference passport by visiting these specialist areas:

• Visit the library to enjoy some reading and borrow some books

• Go to the Sports Hall and take part in some PE games and challenges

• Visit the Blue Area to get a taster of our Music lessons

• View some of your child’s ICT learning in our Computer Labs

• Play in our adventure playgrounds - but remember to follow our safety rules

General Information

Student Gifts and Treats

Although it is lovely to give and receive presents amongst friends. The school discourages giving these to students whilst they are in school and asks for support from the community to help deliver this message consistently.

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.

The following students are celebrating this week.

Have a wonderful day!
