Countdown to Dance Extravaganza Begins

Block 3 ECAs mark the start of the journey towards our annual Dance Extravaganza’s in June. Sign-up for Dance and Drama Academy ECAs in Block 3 to be part of the show!

Just like last year we will have a Junior Dance Extravaganza and a Senior Dance Extravaganza spread over two fantastic nights. Primary students will be involved in the Junior Extravaganza on Monday 8^th of June.

Jazz, Ballet, Street Jazz, Hip Hop, Cheerleading or Musical Theatre – there is something for everyone.

This is your chance to perform on stage in front of a an audience in full costume and make-up like a professional dancer. Being involved in a Dance ECA is a great way to stay fit, meet new friends and learn new skills.

Learning

Migration

After the Christmas holiday, we will start our new learning theme on migration. Throughout this unit, we will look at migration throughout the ages. We will explore push and pull factors and how some of these are personal choices whereas some are forced upon people.

To support us with this learning, we often try to involve our parent body in delivering presentations to our students. If your work is related to human migration e.g with refugees, and you are prepared to support our learning, please let me know. mica@patana.ac.th

Preparing for residential

In order to prepare for our residential, we have organised a practise kayaking session during school hours. Our outdoor specialist teacher will assist us in ensuring that our Year 6 students have the basic skills in place.

Students should bring their swim kits and a long sleeved rash vest with them.

Students will wear life jackets during all kayaking sessions at school and during our residential. Furthermore, qualified members of staff will be with students at all times. The water during residential is very shallow.

PE lessons

Well done to all students who took part in our “Personal Challenge “ unit for PE over the last few lessons. It was fantastic to see such high levels of motivation throughout all the activities, and everyone should feel extremely proud of what they managed to achieve!

The first 2 weeks back after the holidays (Week beginning Monday 6^th January and week beginning Monday 13^th January) will be “Try A New Sport” fortnight. A range of new activities and sports will be on offer for Key Stage 2 students to try during their PE lessons.

Normal PE kit, plus a sun hat is required. There will also be water-based sports, so if your child thinks they might choose a water activity, then please bring in swim kit as well.

We wish Everyone a Happy Christmas and A Healthy New Year! From the Primary PE Team

Global Citizenship

A message from the SEC Primary team

We would like you to think about the environment and our world over the holidays. Please try to recycle all the paper, cardboard and other recyclable waste that you receive over Christmas. If you need to replace batteries, please bring in the old ones after the holidays and recycle them in school. Think also about the gifts you give. Maybe you could give reusable straws (bamboo or metal), a reusable coffee cup or a tote bag to re-use when shopping. You could even give a recycling bin as a gift.

Thank you for thinking about the environment. We wish you a Merry, and green, Christmas!

General Information:

School Photo Week

During the first couple of weeks back, we will have our annual photograph week. The time for each class is listed below. Should your child miss this session, we will arrange for them to have their individual photograph.

Lost Property

Parents and children are encouraged to search lost property before purchasing replacement items.

Please visit https://patana.fireflycloud.asia/community-events/lost-property.

Birthdays:

Nut free Primary School

For some children, any exposure to nuts is potentially very dangerous and can be life threatening.

We do not allow any nuts to be brought into Primary. This includes snacks on school transport, birthday treats and food items brought in for any other special days.

Happy Birthday to all the Year 6 students who have a birthday during the Christmas holidays.
