Global Citizenship

Country Spotlight Activities in the run up to International Day – Wednesday November 18th

These activities start next week and this is an excellent way to broaden the learning opportunities for our students.

Every day, there will be an activity related to one or more countries or cultures.

All activities will run during lunchtime from a stall near to the Primary Snack Bar.

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.

Learning

Entry Point on Monday

On Monday, our Year 5 students will go on a water walk around school. For this they will need to bring the following items with them:

1. Water shoes or shoes that they do not mind getting wet (not flit flops - must have a back strap)

2. A change of clothes and a towel in case they get wet (a PE kit will do)

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.

Please contact: mica@patana.ac.th

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
