Learning

Holiday reading

Please encourage your child to read throughout the holiday. Just 30 minutes a day makes a huge difference. This can include sharing texts with someone, reading subtitles on a movie, reading blogs, newspapers etc. It would be great to hear about this holiday reading or even to capture reading in a variety of locations. You can take a photograph of you reading and share with Miss Miranda mica@patana.ac.th. 

Holiday Maths

Please try to complete any outstanding Mathletics challenges to review your learning in Term 2a. Remember, retrieval practise and reviewing previous learning helps you to store this learning in your long term memory.

Global Citizenship

Events In The World 

You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show.  Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
