Home Learning

Now that the students are settled in Year 5, they will be set 2 home learning tasks each week. 

We recommend they spend 30 minutes on each task. 

This half term, one task will have a spelling focus and the other will be Maths, Literacy or Connected Learning. As always, we encourage children to read for at least 15 minutes every day.

Residential

Reminder: There is a presentation on Tuesday 19^th November for parents who wish to learn more about the Year 5 Residential. 

General Presentation starts at 15:00 in the Primary Hall

Year 5 Presentation begins at 15:45 in the Year 5 Shared Area.

Global Citizenship

The Water Crisis

Next term we will focus on a new theme of learning through which we will support our chosen Charity - 'Water Aid' and with the money we raise we hope to build water wells in Cambodia.

Students are encouraged to bring in any old or second hand items to sell at our Bring, Buy and Bake Sale.

General Information

Patana Cookbook

Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,

I am happy to say that the cookbook that we started last year is finally done! After a lot of hard work and effort, we managed to select the best 80 recipes and design a lovely book.
Now it’s time to share it with you and your family. This may also be a perfect gift for friends and family with the Christmas holidays just around the corner.

For anyone who would like to purchase a book, please fill out the Google form (https://forms.gle/WrNx5So62VnSDW4XA) with your correct details by the 24^th of November. The books will then be printed and prepared for pick up. To collect the book/s that you pre-order, you, your child or any supporting adult can go to the Primary School Office with the correct amount of money.

Ideally the books will be ready for pick up around the 2^nd of December, however a confirmed date will be shared when the books are ready.

There is a copy on display in the Primary School Office that you can view before deciding to buy one for yourself.

The price for each book will be 300 thb which will cover the printing costs and support the donation that we will be giving to the local daycare near our school, Thong Pai. To ensure that one complete donation can be made, it would be best for all the books to be collected before the end of the 1^st term (13^th December). Therefore, I kindly ask you to adhere to the deadline.

Thank you in advance for your support during this project.
Jo Vanden A., Year 13 student
