PE lessons - 3km Challenge
For the last 2 weeks of term, Year 6 will be taking part in slightly different activities during their PE lessons, as part of a “Personal Challenge” mini unit.
For their Swimming lessons, students will need to bring in loose fitted long sleeved top and shorts /Pajamas (PJ’s) to wear as part of their lifesaving lesson.
Please read the information below so that your child is prepared for each activity.

No swimming lesson for 6 Blue, Pink, Black and White groups.
All students to wear PE kit and trainers.
Students will take on a 3KM Challenge, and will have the option to swim, run, and/or scoot to complete a distance of 3 kilometres.
Students may choose one, two or even all 3 options! So please assist them in ensuring that they have everything they need to complete their challenge.
Please note that students choosing the “scoot” option will need to bring in their own scooter.
Helmets are compulsory for the “scoot” option. Elbow/knee pads and additional protection is welcome.
School buses can only accommodate scooters which can FOLD UP, therefore rigid or large scooters will not be accepted if your child comes to School via Patana minivans.
Scooters can be stored in the Sports Hall during the day, but only if they are clearly labelled with your child’s name and class. These must be dropped off before school, and collected at the end of the day. Scooters will not be allowed during playtime or lunchtimes.
Students choosing the “swim” option should bring in a black swimsuit, swim hat, goggles and a towel (rashvest optional).
We look forward to seeing your child have fun and challenge themselves in PE next week!
If you have any questions, please email Miss Zoe on zoed@patana.ac.th.

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 the Year 6 students celebrating their birthday this week.
