Interclass Basketball
The PE & Year 4 teachers were very proud of our students this week when they competed in Interclass Basketball. We saw great sportsmanship, excellent team work and lots of enthusiasm.
A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
A highlight for me this week was our Creative Arts parent workshop on Tuesday. Rather than a presentation in the Primary Hall, we welcomed our parents to experience what it is like to take part in a Patana Music, Art and a Drama lesson! A great time was had by all and we think our parents learnt some valuable new skills too!
Next week, we look forward to our Y1 – Y6 Parent-Teacher meetings. This is the first formal meeting of the year where we will discuss how your child is settling into their new class, give a starting indication of their learning aptitude and attitudes and address any questions you may have. We have shared lots of important information in the recent weeks on the new developments in assessment and reporting, so please do take time to digest.
Have a great weekend, let’s hope this rain stops soon!

Performance Week
Performance Week will be happening twice this year, once in Term 1 and once in Term 3.
In Term 1, the performances will take place in regular class music lessons during 2nd - 6th October.
Performance Week is an opportunity for any child who is learning a musical instrument to perform in front of a small audience during their regular timetabled music lesson. Children can sign up to perform during their music lessons and it is an internal event with no spectators. We encourage all students who learn a musical instrument to participate.
Please support your child to perform if they take lessons on an instrument and please help them to bring their music/instrument on the right day:
Any questions can be directed to the music teachers:
Ms Rachel rast@patana.ac.th
Miss Lisa lima@patana.ac.th

Preventing the spread of colds and flu
Please help us to prevent outbreaks of cold or flu as we head into the rainy season.
Children with cold or flu (influenza) symptoms should be kept at home until they are completely recovered. Even when the main symptoms have gone, your child may still need time to return to full strength.
Please do not send your child back to school too soon, even if they are no longer in the contagious phase. If your child is still coughing or sneezing, please keep them at home and limit their contact with other children.
A child who has a fever should be kept at home until ‘fever free’ for a minimum of 24 hours.
Influenza is a serious and contagious infection that affects the nose, throat, and respiratory system. The virus is commonly spread through droplets in the air, allowing infection to spread quickly.
When unsure, always seek medical advice, especially if a child has a chronic condition e.g., asthma.
If Influenza is confirmed, please send a copy of the medical certificate to Nurse@patana.ac.th
Maths Week Competition
In preparation for Maths week (which is just before half term) the students were introduced to the poster competition by watching this video:
Some students have made posters in their classes and some said they would like to create one at home.

Learning In Year 4
Term 1A
This week and next, we will be taking part in lots of activities in order to get to know each other and our new environment. The children have settled well into their new classes and we are encouraging them to explore and develop new friendships. This will continue throughout the term and year through our PSHE curriculum.
Next week, we will begin our new learning theme of 'Chocolate'.
For more information please visit our Year 4 Curriculum Page.
PE
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.
PE KIT:
Athletics lessons require Patana PE kit; water bottle and PE shoes.
Swimming lessons require black or Patana swim kit, swimhat, goggles and towel. Long sleeved rash vest / suit optional.
