Y3 Newsletter 23.05.25

The children have been very inquisitive and rigous in their Science learning.

A note from the Principal

We had a lot of very excited – and understandably rather tired – Year 2 friends returning home today after completing their magical sleepover experience. For many, it was their very first night away from home with school friends, and they embraced the adventure with courage, joy, and a real sense of independence. A huge thank you to all the staff involved for creating such a memorable and meaningful experience for our youngest campers.

Elsewhere across the Primary School, we also wrapped up our final Year Group Sports Festivals. These celebrations of physical activity and teamwork brought fantastic energy to the campus. A big thank you to our PE team for their enthusiasm, organisation, and care in making these events such a success.

This weekend, I have the great privilege of attending my own son’s graduation ceremony — a proud moment that reminds me just how quickly the school years fly by.

Wishing all of our families a restful weekend ahead.

Swimming 

Save the date! The Year 3 Swimming Gala will take place in the 25m pool on Thursday 5 June, from 10:00am to 12:10pm. More details to follow.

We’re happy to see our Year 3 students back in the pool and enjoying their swimming lessons. Swimming is a key part of the curriculum — not just for fitness and enjoyment, but as a vital life skill, especially here in Thailand where water-based activities are a big part of everyday life.

We kindly ask for your full support in encouraging your child to take part in swimming. Positive conversations at home can make a big difference, especially if your child is feeling uncertain or anxious. Consistent participation helps build confidence and competence.

If your child is unable to swim for medical reasons, please provide a doctor’s note. For any questions, feel free to contact the PE department at jaju@patana.ac.th.

Swimming Lesson Schedule

For the PE lesson when students are not swimming, they will still require their PE kit and trainers.

Please note - Children come to school in their school uniform on swimming days with their swimmers in their bags. 

On PE days they wear their PE kit to school and have their uniform in their bags.
