Year 4 newsletter 25.11.22

We are balanced and fulfilled

Year 4 would like to say a huge thank you to the PE team for arranging such an amazing Sports Day this week. 

It was lovely to finally have all of the parents join us and cheer their children along, we thank you for your support.

A fun day for all!

A note from the principal 

This week, we have thoroughly enjoyed the Y3 – Y6 Sports Days. Our students did themselves and their classes proud as they took part in a number of events and races. With team spirit and laughter in plentiful supply, it was excellent fun and really rewarding. Thank you to all the Parents who could join us and to the PE team for their wonderful organisation.

On Saturday, our community is extremely excited to host the Ploenchit Fair. As I was new to Patana last year, this will be the first time that I have taken part in this and I am really looking forward to it! I will be helping at the Patana train from 11.30am – 1pm and I hope to see lots of your there! Do pop by to say hello!

Proud of you Patana!

A note from one of our IB students

Dear parents,

As part of my IB Business project, I am reviewing and supporting the school in identifying how we can best promote and improve our school shop. I would greatly appreciate your support by completing this short survey with your invaluable feedback.

Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Dear Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you during the 3-way conference open day and we hope you got a glimpse as to what the children get up to in their IT lessons each week.

As there were so many visitors, we were not able to speak to everyone, so if you do have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Lots of people were interested in the resources and tools on show so I thought it would be helpful to share some links for you to explore with your children at home.

Everything listed below is free to use or can be accessed using your child's school email address and password.

PE- Term 1B

As Year 4 PE lessons are before break time, the children can arrive at school in their PE kits (or swimming kits underneath their PE kits). They will then need to change into their uniforms at the end of the PE lesson.

Athletics lessons require Patana PE kit, hat, water bottle and PE shoes.

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