Learning- supporting a science session 

Next week, on Friday 11th October, we will have a science session where the students will be designing a game using electrical circuits.  It would be extremely helpful to have some additional adults for this.  The session will take approximately two hours on Friday.  If you are interested and able to come in your child's class to support, please contact your class teacher.  Each class may be doing theirs at different times, depending on the timetable.  

PE Units 

PE will continue as it has been until the 15th October (final week of this half term) when new units begin.

Parent Home Language Helpers

We are looking for parents who would like to be Home Language Helpers (PHLH). The PHLH will help to create opportunities for learners to experience their Home Language within their learning. This means that you could volunteer to use your Home Language to read a book with learners who speak the same language, or to spend time in the learning environment exploring and discovering in your native tongue. If you are interested in joining, please add your name to our Parent Home Language Helper database here or contact Ondine at onul@patana.ac.th if you have any questions.

Global Citizenship

Tiger Spirit Day today showcased how caring our students can be.  We were buddies to the Y1 students and helped them write inspirational messages on their rocks.  

Lots of students also took stories with them which they read to the Y1 students.  It's a great day for taking the time to reflect on what it is to be part of a bigger community.  

Birthdays

Our only birthday in Y4 this week is Hansaem's (4B).  Happy birthday for the 9th- we hope you have a super day.

Message from Thai PTG

To support this endeavor, the Thai Parents Group has prepared Muay Thai costumes (shirts and pants), which may be pre-ordered in the link below (acceptance of orders will close on Friday, Oct.11, 2019). Samples will be available for preview at the PTG room on Wed-Fri, Oct.9-11, from 3pm onwards.
