Year 5 Newsletter 16th June

Class lists for August 2023

On Monday, you will receive your child’s class list for August 2023, along with a welcome letter from their new class teacher.

If you child is currently in Year 1, Year 3, or Year 5, there are no changes to their existing class.

If your child is currently in Nursery, FS1, FS2, Y2 or Y4, they will be placed in a newly mixed class.

Please support your child in dealing with any disappointment if that is the case for them.

Sometimes being in a class with a particular friend is not beneficial for their learning.

When reading the class welcome letter, please click on the link to hear a message from your child’s new teacher.

We will be delighted to welcome all of our returning students back in the new school year.

A note from the Principal

Today sees the end to such a positive and productive week in Primary! Starting with the Dance Extravaganza, our students were then involved in the Bangkok Games; the Patana Primary; various interclass sporting events; end of unit learning exhibitions and, finally, the Year 2 sleepover!

What a happy and joyous penultimate week of our academic year. This will be our last newsletter home to you, so it leaves me only to say a congratulations to our students, well done to our teachers and thank you to our parents and families for all your support.

I will be sending an end of year letter to you all next week but in the meantime, have a wonderful weekend.

Living our values: we are creative

We have had a wonderful week of learning this week. Year 5 students worked hard to prepare a Space Expo for their parents. We were all blown away with their learning and how they communicated this in a variety of creative ways.
