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.

Loi Krathong - Friday 30th October

If you prefer to look for things in person, Pratunam area , Tesco, Big C or small shops at local markets are worth exploring.
Learning
A call out to parents - Water, Water, Everywhere?
After the half term break, we will start our new unit of learning: Water, Water Everywhere?
The basis of this unit is to learn all about water on planet Earth. This includes looking at how people all over the world access clean water.
If you work for a charity or have any links to a charity working to bring clean water to communities, please get in touch as we would love to invite you in to talk to our Year 5 students.

General Information
PARENT HOME LANGUAGE HELPERS
The Parent Home Language Helpers(PHLH) is an initiative in which parents support the learning through the use of their Home Language. For example, our wonderful PHLH are great at coming in and sharing a story in their home language, or helping learners understand more about other languages and cultures.
If you would like to be part of the PHLH, please leave your details here and we will get back to you. If you have any questions, or would like to find out more about this, please contact Ms. Ondine at onul@patana.ac.th

School Shoes
As part of their Patana school uniform, our students wear plain black shoes with no coloured trim.
If your child is still coming to school in coloured trainers, please purchase plain black school shoes over the half term break.
Shoes should support healthy foot growth.
All shoes require at least a strap to keep the shoe firmly in place. No ballet pumps.
Children can wear lace-ups if they can tie up their laces independently.
Plain black school shoes can be sourced in many shops and department stores.
If your child has to wear other shoes for a specific reason, please let us know.
These photographs are all examples of suitable plain black shoes.
