Living our school values:
A note from Mrs McCormack (Primary Principal):
Dear Parents,
We've had an eventful week at school, with some key events to mention. Our Y3-Y6 students put on a fantastic dance and music assembly that was enjoyed by all. It was wonderful to see our students showcase their talents and their hard work paid off in a stunning performance. Well done to all!
Additionally,
over the last two weeks, we have held parent workshops on RSE, which were
well-attended and informative. It's crucial that we work together to support
our students as they navigate this important area of their lives. Thank you to
all who attended and contributed to these valuable discussions.
On Monday, we will be enjoying our staff CPL day with some excellent topics for discussion. Guest speaker Tom Sherrington will be here in person to support us with our journey in the walkthrus and instructional coaching. He is also offering a parent workshop later in the week and we do hope you can attend.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We value your input and are here to support our school community in any way we can.
See you all on Tuesday!

Music - Performance Week
We are excited to have two musical performance opportunities happening soon. Performance week is happening in regular class music lessons during, 8th-12th May. (At the end of Performance Week on Saturday 13th May, we are also holding our Solo Festival for which applications have now closed.)
Performance Week is an opportunity for any child who is learning a musical instrument to perform in front of a small audience during their regular timetabled music lesson. Children can sign up to perform during their music lessons and it is an internal event with no spectators. We encourage all students who learn a musical instrument to participate.
Please support your child to perform if they take lessons on an instrument and please help them to bring their music/instrument on the right day:
Monday 8th May 2B
Tuesday 9th May 2F and 2W
Wednesday 10th May 2M
Thursday 11th May 2A and 2P
Friday 12th May 2J and 2C
IT - Lessons and Resources
This term in ICT we will be learning to create Animations using the App - Flip-A-Clip
The children will learn about frame-by-frame animation and begin to use some different techniques (12 Principles of Animation).
If you want to have a go at home, you can get the free version of the App (contains Ads).
If children make any animations at home, please share them by posting them to us on Teams or Seesaw.

Year 2 Sleepover - Thursday 15th of June 2023
As part of our PSHE learning in Term 3 about changes and trying new things, we are pleased to share that the Year 2 sleepover will return this year. This involves a one-night stay in school with the teachers.
The sleepover is a valuable learning experience for our students as it offers the opportunity for them to take a risk and develop independence within a secure and safe environment.
Being away from home can bring up many feelings for young students, so to prepare for this please begin talking about this event at home with your children.
If you have any immediate questions please contact Mr Joe Bower: jobo@patana.ac.th
