A note from the Principal

A note from the Principal

It has been an explosive and enlightening week in Primary, as we celebrated our annual Science Week. Welcoming back Ruben Meerman and Ian Stuart, all our students have been immersed in Science.

In Year 5, the students have been investigating how different light conditions impact on the production of oxygen for pond weed plants. In Year 1, the children have been studying the periodic table, making molecules of H2O2 and NH3, and magnifying anything in sight x100. In Year 6, the learning has focussed on the structure of atoms, calculating the amount of protons, neutrons and electrons needed to make up specific atoms and went on to build them using Ian's unique ‘atom maker’.

Over the next 2 weeks, Ruben and Ian are collaborating with our teacher Science leads to develop a curriculum that integrates discrete atomic theory units of learning and inter woven links to existing Science units! Impressive stuff Patana Primary!

Congratulations, finally, to our Year 3 students who had a great week at Residential, and good luck to those who are off next week!

Wellbeing

Residential - Next week! (for some)!

The Residential Blog page has been set up in preparation for our forthcoming trips. It can be found on the Year 3 page here. The recent parent letter (including packing list) is here along with information about picking up your child from school when they return from Royal Varuna Yacht Club.

There is a separate post for each of the four trips. The most recently updated post will appear at the top of the blog page. We will share a photo of the whole group on arrival on this page. In the evening of each full day, we will share a photo of each class along with information about our activities. Class teachers will share further residential photos on their own class blog pages on our return to school.

World Book Day - Book donation

We invite families to donate a brand-new children’s book (Thai Language Please) which will passed to one of our charities:

  • FS - Home of Praise (age 2-5)
  • Y2 - Children of the Forest (age 5-11)
  • Y3 - Thomas House (age 5-11)
  • Y4 - Mercy Centre (age 5-11)

If you wish to donate a book, your child should hand it to their class teacher during the month of March.

Inventors Day

Put Thursday 4th April into your diary!

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?
