A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to Term 2A, a relatively short half term of
only 5 weeks. I hope that all our families had a lovely mid term and the
opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family.
As you will be aware, we are experiencing a period of poor air quality at the
moment. We are continuously tracking PM 2.5 throughout the day and adhere to
our Air Quality Policy.
You may notice that first thing in the morning, students are requested to come
straight into class and we ensure that exposure is limited should the levels
reach “caution for sensitive groups and “caution for all.”
Don’t forget that Monday is Makha Bucha Day and school will be closed. See you
on Tuesday!
Proud of you Patana!

Safeguarding at the end of the school day
If you are unable to collect your child you can ask a neighbour or friend to help to take your child home. We have some new safeguards in place to make sure that the children are safe.
If you would like your child to be collected by another adult please ensure:
You email the class teacher or Leader of learning and welfare (dijo@patana.ac.th) please copy in reception@patana.ac.th
The class teacher will ensure that Main Reception know who is taking the child out of school. Reception staff will then be ready to help if there is a query from Security.
The collecting adult and the child/ren may only leave via Main Reception. No other gate.

Primary PE Team
Residential
Many of our students are getting very excited about the upcoming
residential visits but there are some who are feeling anxiety too. Please do
let your child know that it is very normal to be anxious about being away from
home for two nights. Talk together about strategies that they can use for any
particular worries. E.g. if they are worried about being afraid of the dark,
look into packing a small night light that they can bring to have by their bed.
If they still have accidents with regards to wetting the bed, we
are happy to work with you and your child to alleviate any anxiety they may
have about this.
If you child seems overly worried, please do let their class
teacher know. We would like to work together to ensure that your child feels as
supported as possible going into this experience.
On this day, we are going to have 'Inventor's Day'. Year 3 students are invited to dress up as:
an inventor or
an invention
If they choose to dress up as an inventor, they could also make and bring in an example of their invention (e.g. a homemade calculator or homemade phone).
They will need to find out all about their invention:
who invented it?
why did they invent it?
where was it invented?
Timestableathon
A busy day on the 27th March as the students will also take part in our Y3 Timestableathon. They will have 4 minutes to answer as many timestables as they can.
They need to choose which times tables they want to practice:
2, 5,10 timestables
3, 4, 8 timestables
6, 7, 9 timestables
a mixture of all your timetables
All money raised will go towards supporting our Y3 charity, Thomas House in Chaing Mai.
Please help your child to continue to practice theier timestables at home.
Please ensure any snack or Birthday cakes/doughnuts that come into school are nut free. This is to ensure we are keeping all our students safe as we have some students in the Y3/4 Building who have severe nut allergies. Thank you for your help with this.
