This week may have been short, but it was certainly full of learning.
On Tuesday, we had a wonderful parent workshop presented by Mr. Max Hopwood on
creating playable games. I was thrilled to see our students enthusiastically
supporting their parents and demonstrating the characteristics of effective
learning in the process. If you missed this workshop - we have more engaging
sessions planned, including Ms. Rachel Stead's music curriculum session next
Tuesday from 8am to 9am.
Today, we celebrated Smile Day, a meaningful event in which
we learn about and fundraise for Operation Smile. Our students worked
collaboratively on a Smile Day mosaic, designing their own tiles based on what
brings them joy. I encourage you to take a look at this beautiful mosaic
displayed in our Primary snack bar area.
Lastly, we are all looking forward to our annual Fun Day on
Saturday, which our fantastic PTG has been working tirelessly to organise. I
will be there in the afternoon and I hope to see you all there too!
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our
Patana community.

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.
Residential
Our trips are not far away now. Please remember
to label everything that you can. There is a residential blog where
you can access a packing list and further details about our trips. I have also
attached the list below. When classes start going, this will also be where you
can go to see an update each day and some photos.
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:
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.
