A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to Term 2A, a relatively short
half term of only 5 weeks. I hope that all our families had a lovely mid term
and the opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family.
As you will be aware, we are experiencing a period of poor air quality at the
moment. We are continuously tracking PM 2.5 throughout the day and adhere to
our Air Quality Policy.
You may notice that first thing in the morning, students are requested to come
straight into class, and we ensure that exposure is limited should the levels
reach “caution for sensitive groups and “caution for all.”
Don’t forget that Monday is Makha Bucha Day and school will be closed. See you
on Tuesday!
Proud of you Patana!
Sarah McCormack
Living our values: we are motivated and engaged

Class Blogs and home learning
Here is the link to the Year 5 blogs. You will find an overview of your child's learning along with their home learning tasks and any important messages from your child's class teacher.
Please check your child's class blog weekly to stay informed about their learning.
Please encourage your child to complete their home learning.
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.

- Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
- Children will be expected to eat any birthday treats outside of classrooms.
