World Peace Day! We welcomed Monday with a peaceful day and made paper cranes with our Y6 buddies.
A note from the Principal
Dear Parents
What a wet week it has been. I hope everyone has managed to stay dry!
One of the highlights of the week has been our International Day of Peace activities. Students have been exploring how small acts of peace can make a big difference. In our assemblies, we introduced an exciting “footprint” project, inviting students to design floor decals that will be displayed around our walkways as a visible reminder of the positive impact we can all have.
Next week, we look forward to welcoming parents to our Year 1 to Year 6 Parent Teacher Meetings. Scheduled intentionally early in the academic year, these meetings provide an opportunity to discuss how well your child is settling into school and to share the initial academic indicators and observations we have gathered so far.

Positive Behaviour
As you walk around the school, you are almost certain to spot our Safe – Curious – Kind posters.
Many, if not all, of the behaviours and attitudes we want for our students can be explicitly taught.
Positive Behaviours – Positive Attitudes
Egyptian Day
We are very excited in Y3 to be starting our learning based around the Egyptians. On Thursday 8th 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. They just need to wear their PE kit on the day!
Tiger Spirit Day
Solo Festival
If you are interested in supporting learning at Patana, please sign up for the safeguarding training below.

Safeguarding presentation for parent volunteers
Dear Primary Parents,
Parent volunteers are a great help in our year groups.
As part of our Student Safeguarding, any parent who may be in direct and regular contact with students is required to complete a three-step process.
- Attend a Safeguarding presentation.
The next session is scheduled for Friday 2nd October at 0800 am.
- Read and sign the most recently updated Parent Safeguarding Code of Conduct.
- Read and sign a Self-Disclosure form confirming that you have never been subject to any investigation with reference to children or young people.
The presentation will be held in the Primary Hall. Please sign up via this link.
We will have hard copies of the Parent Code of Conduct and Self-Declaration Form (attached) ready for you to sign, or you can print and bring with you.
Parent volunteers are required to attend a presentation every two years.
If you attended volunteer training in September 2024 or earlier, please attend this session.
Kind Regards
Hannah Pinkney

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.
