A note from the Principal

A big thank you to our wonderful teachers and parents for helping this week’s Parent-Teacher meetings run so smoothly! Your next chance to meet with your child’s teacher will be during our 3-way conferencing event in June.

Looking ahead to next week, we are excited about the swimming galas, and our special Songkran assembly. It is hard to believe the end of term is just around the corner!

Y3 Curriculum Information

This term, we will be learning about Discovering our world and thinking about how far we can go. If you would like more information about our curriculum please visit our Curriculum page here.

Swimming - Term 3

After the Songkran break, Year 3 students will begin their swimming unit as part of their PE lessons. For each lesson, students will need their Patana swimsuit, a swimming cap, goggles, and a towel. It is also recommended that they bring pool shoes to walk safely from the changing rooms to the poolside.

During the first few lessons, students will be assessed and placed into groups suited to their swimming ability. These groups will be carefully monitored in the initial weeks to ensure that each student is in the most appropriate level.

Year 3 swimming lessons focus on developing strokes and techniques in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. Our aim is to help students build water confidence while improving their swimming skills.

Below is the schedule for swimming lessons. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate 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.
