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. 

Primary Performance Week

The Primary Music Department are very excited to announce the first ever “Primary Performance Week” will be happening from 6th-16th October. Anyone who is learning a musical instrument will be able to sign up to perform in the new shared performance space in front of a small audience. The event will happen during the normally timetabled music lesson and children can sign up with their music teacher in the next couple of weeks.

This is a wonderful opportunity for children to share their talents, build confidence and perform in front of a small, supportive audience. Although we are not able to welcome parents to these events at this time, we will be recording performances and will be able to share these with you.

Should you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Mr Charlie chmc@patana.ac.th
