We Are Motivated and Engaged
A note from the principal
This week, we have truly found our rhythm, and students are settling well into the routines of school life—bravo to everyone!
It has been wonderful to welcome so many parents on campus, whether at the 'Introduction to Thai' parent workshop, the Year 1 to Year 6 'Meet the Teacher' sessions, the new parent coffee morning, or during our Primary assemblies.
We are delighted to work in partnership with our parents to support our students' learning and well-being. Looking forward to a fabulous year ahead!

Maths Week
Next week, we will be welcoming UK Maths gurus Andrew Jeffrey and Liz Gibbs to Patana. Maths will be celebrated throughout the week through some number tricks, puzzles and investigations. To celebrate the 50 Year Anniversary of the toy, Rubik’s Cube, your child is invited to bring in their Rubik’s Cube (or similar toy, perhaps in a different shape) anytime next week. Students may then challenge each other to solve it quickly at break or lunchtime.
Meet the Teacher meetings
Thank you to those of you who attended our Meet the Teacher sessions on Tuesday, it was lovely to meet you all.
If you were unable to make it, or if would like to look at some of the information again, here is a copy of the slides. If you have any questions please contact your child's class teacher or Miss Sarah ( sawv@patana.ac.th)
Well-being
Playground use before and after school
Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.
There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30.
The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.
We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.
We are a NUT FREE school. When ordering birthday treats, please ensure that there are no nuts or nut products (such as Nutella or peanut butter) used.
- Individual treats can be brought into school with your child in the morning.
- Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
- Parents can join in the celebrations.

PE
Students should come to school in their PE kit on PE days. If they have swimming for the first lesson, they can wear their swim kit under their uniform. If they have swimming later in the day, we ask that they DO NOT wear their swim kit to school.
Please ensure that your child brings their uniform with them to get changed into after their PE lessons.

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.
