A highlight for me this week was joining
our Maths advocates Ms. Anna Caswell and Ms. Vicky Paxman for their Maths
workshop for parents on Number Talks. We were thrilled that more than 140
parents were in attendance, the highest number yet! Next Tuesday at 8am, we are
hosting a workshop on social and emotional regulation and we look forward to
the learning and discussions on this important topic.
Thank you to the 150 parents who have completed our school report survey.
Reviewing our assessments and reports is one of our school development plan
goals this year and we are looking for as much feedback as possible on how
useful parents find the current format. The deadline for this survey is Monday,
27th March.
Finally, if any families will be leaving at the end of this academic year,
please ensure you have submitted a withdrawal form to the Admissions Office by
17th April. If you have any questions relating to withdrawals,
please contact Rachel Jones, Head of Admissions at rajo@patana.ac.th

General Information
Maths Presentation
Thank you
to all the parents who came along to the maths workshop this week. We enjoyed
discussing what mathematical fluency is, and how developing fluency can support
our students with reasoning and problem-solving activities. Below, you can find
a copy of the presentation with some notes describing what was discussed for
each slide. If you have any questions, please contact Anna or Vicky at anca@patana.ac.th or vipx@patana.ac.th
Tiger Cats U9 team (Y3 and Y4) recently
performed a showcase at the Tiger Cats Dance Challenge 2023. The outfits and
hairstyles matched perfectly with the background visual and the mood of the
music. The song they performed to is called 'Tik Tok' by That girl Lay Lay. We
congratulate them for working hard and staying focused! Here is a lovely
picture from the showcase!
