A note from the Principal
This week, we have had a fantastic time exploring numbers! Long-time Patana collaborators
Andrew Jeffrey and Liz Gibbs have helped make our Maths Week truly inspiring.
Students have enjoyed problem-solving activities, hands-on explorations,
timetable competitions, and even a Maths magic show!
We are also delighted to invite you to a Parent Workshop on Tuesday at 8am,
where you can learn more about how to support your child's maths development.
Do not forget next week is a short week for us, with school closed on Friday.

Wellbeing
ECAs
The children are loving their ECAs! Thank you for helping them to know each day, which ECA they have, this helps to ally any worries they may have. The Y3 team will continue to assist the students.
Please note: If your child has a 3.30 ECA they will be enrolled in Me Time ECA in the 2.30 slot.
If you have any queries or any changes to ECAs please contact your child's class teacher.
Snack bar
The children have enjoyed going to the snack bar to buy their snacks! Please can you make sure your child has some money to top up when needed. the Y3 teachers will help the children to add the money to their cards.
Preventing the spread of colds and flu
Please help us to prevent outbreaks of cold or flu as we head into the rainy season.
Children with cold or flu (influenza) symptoms should be kept at home until they are completely recovered.
Even when the main symptoms have gone, your child may still need time to return to full strength.
Please do not send your child back to school too soon, even if they are no longer in the contagious phase.
If your child is still coughing or sneezing, please keep them at home and limit their contact with other children.
A child who has a fever should be kept at home until ‘fever free’ for a minimum of 24 hours.
Influenza is a serious and contagious infection that affects the nose, throat, and respiratory system.
The virus is commonly spread through droplets in the air, allowing infection to spread quickly.
When unsure, always seek medical advice, especially if a child has a chronic condition e.g., asthma.
If Influenza is confirmed, please send a copy of the medical certificate to Nurse@patana.ac.th
World Peace Day
On Wednesday 18th September, we will be celebrating World Peace Day. It will be a non-uniform day and we are encouraging the children to wear BLUE coloured clothes. We will be attending an assembly and taking part in a variety of activities and lessons on World Peace Day. No donations are needed for this event.
Egyptian Day
We are very excited in Y3 to be introducing a new learning theme of the Egyptians, which will be starting next week. On Wednesday 16th October we will have an Egyptian Day at school. You do not need to prepare anything for this day as we will be creating our costumes in our Art lessons leading up to Egyptian day.
Tiger Spirit Day
Nut Free Primary School
We do not allow any nuts to be brought into Primary. This includes snacks on school transport, birthday treats and food items brought in for any other special days.
Some treats, such as macarons contain hidden nuts. Please check the ingredients before sending into school. If snacks or birthday treats are found to contain nuts, we will contact you and either dispose of the food safely or ask you to collect and take back home.
Learning
Y3 Curriculum Term 1a
Our main focus for the first few weeks will be settling the children in as they transition to a new Key Stage by helping them move around the school from the classroom to specialist lessons as well as slowly introduce them to the Primary Snack Bar. We will learn all about how to use it in our Maths lessons next week. If you would like more information about our curriculum please visit our Curriculum page here.
Reading
The children will be changing their reading books every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This week the children have been given a reading book based on their stage from Year 2, and from reading with their new teacher.
Please can you support your child by encouraging reading at home, either reading to you or a sibling and helping to remind them to bring their books in (if finished) on book change days.
Music
Please remind your child to bring in their recorder into school for their Music lessons, if they brought them home to practice.
