We Are Motivated and Engaged
A note from the principal
This week, we have had a fantastic time
exploring numbers! Long-time Patana collaborators Andrew Jeffrey and Liz Gibbs have
helped make our Maths Week truly inspiring. Students have enjoyed
problem-solving activities, hands-on explorations, timetable competitions, and
even a Maths magic show!
We are also delighted to invite you to a Parent Workshop on Tuesday at 8am,
where you can learn more about how to support your child's maths development.
Do not forget next week is a short week for us, with school closed on Friday.

World Peace Day
On Wednesday 18th September, we will be celebrating World Peace Day. It will be a non-uniform day and we are encouraging the children to wear BLUE coloured clothes. We will be attending an assembly and taking part in a variety of activities and lessons on World Peace Day. No donations are needed for this event.
Well-being
Playground use before and after school
Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.
There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30.
The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.
We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.
We are a NUT FREE school. When ordering birthday treats, please ensure that there are no nuts or nut products (such as Nutella or peanut butter) used.
- Individual treats can be brought into school with your child in the morning.
- Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
- Parents can join in the celebrations.

PE
Students should come to school in their PE kit on PE days. If they have swimming for the first lesson, they can wear their swim kit under their uniform. If they have swimming later in the day, we ask that they DO NOT wear their swim kit to school.
Please ensure that your child brings their uniform with them to get changed into after their PE lessons.
