Term 1A- A celebration!
From swimming galas to basketball competitions, from International Dot day to Tiger Spirit celebrations, it has been a jam-packed half term for Year 4 students.
We've had purple teeth, created some marvellous art and sung beautifully.
To culminate our learning on the digestive system, all the classes got very messy in the kitchen and made their own amazing faeces (poo)! What a fun and creative end to a fabulous term!

Primary Science Week
When we return from the mid-term break our students will take part in science week. Every day they will have a different science lesson to investigate!
We also have some very special visitors returning to the school to talk and learn with the students:
Loy Krathong
This is a gentle reminder that Loi Krathong is on
Tuesday 8th November 2022. We would love to see the children in
their traditional dress or Thai costumes on the day.
If you would like to purchase a new outfit online, please see the below for some helpful links, otherwise you can explore a local market or a superstore nearby.

Music- Recorders
We are happy to be able to run our in class recorder lessons again as part of your child’s music curriculum. These will start first day back after the half term break. If your child has a recorder at home, please remind them to bring it to school ready for their weekly music lessons.
Should you not have a recorder (new student/instrument handed back etc.) we will provide a new one for you on the day of class. If you have any questions please do contact me lima@patana.ac.th . In the meantime, should your child want to practice any of the pieces they learnt during CSL they can access all the resources on our Firefly page here.
Well-being
Snacks
We encourage students to bring healthy, reasonably sized snacks to school, if they are not using the snack bar.
A reminder that candy and chocolate are not allowed in school.
It is also our school policy that students do not share snacks.
There are plenty of healthy choices sold during break times and after school at our snack bar.
Thank you for your support.
One Green Goal
This year the Patana Student Environmental Committee and the Primary Community Action Team are inviting students, families, and our wider community to join us in the One Green Goal challenge. Choose a goal that is relevant to you and your setting. Here are some suggestions from our students:
Waste less food
Say no to plastic
Take fewer flights
Turn off appliances when leaving a room
Have a meat free day each week
Buy LED lights
Use natural light when available
Charge appliances in a car rather than at home
Make an ECO brick
Use the recycle bins available at school
Share lifts to school Do a beach clean during the holidays
Donate your old clothes
Encourage others to choose a One Green Goal!
We would love you to share your goal and become part of our One Green Goal movement. Upload a portrait style video, less than one minute long to this link: https://bangkokpatanaschool-my.sharep...
We will feature videos on our media channels. Remember to take photos of you doing your One Green Goal. We will be inviting participants to stay in touch throughout the year.

Swimming lessons require black or Patana swim kit, swim hat, goggles and towel. Long sleeved rash vest / suit optional.
