Well-Being

Playground equipment in the morning

Please be aware that the playground equipment is CLOSED before school starts. Please remind anyone who drops your child off, that they should not be accessing the playground equipment prior to school starting. Thank you.

Learning

Poetry

For the rest of this term, we will be focusing our Connected Leaning on poetry. If the students have any particularly favourite poems that they would like to share from home, it would be lovely if you could send them in to your class teacher. Poems in your home language would be even more wonderful to share!

Pirate Day!

As Pirate Day has to be postponed, we will have a day of cerebration at some point near the end of Term 2b.  So please keep your costumes to hand!

The Year 2 Curriculum

You will find out more about our Year 2 learning this term on our curriculum pages. Next term we will be learning all about pirates!

Recycling - We need your junk!

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure… so please save us your trash! Next term, we will need lots of junk to make and create with, so please keep all your clean junk over the holidays and send it in to school.

Thanks for your help!

General Information

PTG Reps

If you would like to get in touch with the PTG, we have a Primary representative and a Year 2 representative. Their contact details are as follows:

School shoes

As part of their Patana school uniform, our students wear plain black shoes with no coloured trim.

If your child is still coming to school in coloured trainers or shoes, please purchase plain black school shoes over the half term break.

Shoes should support healthy foot growth.

All shoes require at least a strap to keep the shoe firmly in place. No ballet pumps.

Children can wear lace-ups if they can tie up their laces independently.

Plain black school shoes can be sourced in many shops and department stores.

If your child has to wear other shoes for a specific reason, please let us know.

These photographs are all examples of suitable plain black shoes.


Birthdays

Happy Birthday to the students celebrating their birthdays this coming week:

2L - Sommer!

We wish you a super day!

Please Note:

We are now able to celebrate the children’s birthdays with them, as long as we follow these requirements:

  • Individualised treats (cupcakes, donuts, etc) can be brought in either at the start of the day or the end of the day
  • No Nuts!
  • Please ensure that any food items sent in do not contain nuts, or any traces of nuts. Please check the ingredients.
  • No candles
  • The birthday treats must be individual portions – teachers will not be able to cut pieces of cake to be given out.

Please liaise directly with your child’s class teacher to inform them if you will be bringing in treats for your child’s birthday. Treats can be dropped off before 8:00 and after 2:00.
