Global Citizenship

Loi Kratong

We will celebrate Loi Kratong on Friday 19^th November.

Students can wear an item of Thai clothing to celebrate Loi Kratong if they wish.

Next week, your child will do some Loi Kratong activities in their Thai class.

Events in the World

If you would like your child to be aware of world news and events but find it too overwhelming, have a look at Newsround for a more age appropriate version of current events.

You can also access First News and The Week along with a wide selection of other magazines in our Primary Library. Being aware of current events really will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class.

Learning

Patana News is offering students the opportunity to have a piece of their writing published. If your child is interested, they can speak to their class teacher. 

Home Learning and Class Blogs

Remember that your child's home learning has been shared via their class blog.

Here is the link directly to the Year 5 blogs. 

Birthdays - We are celebrating birthdays on class blogs this week

We are a NUT FREE school. Please when ordering birthday treats double check before bringing treats on the campus. Many toppings offered by some donut shops have flaked almonds in their toppings and peanut butter fillings. 

• Individual treats can be brought into school with your child in the morning.
• Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
• Children will be expected to eat any birthday treats in their classroom.
• Unfortunately, parents can not join in the celebrations. 
• Your child's class teacher will however share a photograph with you.
