We are critical, reflective thinkers
A note from the Principal
17/02/2023
Dear Parents,
We have reached the end of Term 2A, and what a busy and productive half term it has been! Our students have continued to work hard and make progress in their studies, and we are very proud of their achievements. As we head into mid-term, we hope that our families will have the chance to rest and recharge, ready for the remainder of the academic year.
As part of our ongoing efforts to support
high-quality education, I have had the privilege of visiting Amnuay Silpa
School this week. In addition to the valuable insights gained from the visit,
it was also a great experience to share ideas and knowledge with the school's
leadership team. Building networks and collaborating with other educational
institutions is an important aspect of improving education for all our
students.
Another highlight of this week was the Tiger Cats Dance Challenge. This highly
anticipated event brought together dance teams from across Primary and
Secondary, as well as other schools, to showcase their talent and creativity.
With over 40 high-quality performances, the event was a celebration of all
forms of dance and an testament of the hard work and dedication that goes into
perfecting and performing a routine.
This week, the weather has been rather
unusual, with a heavy storm on Wednesday. We hope that this improves for the
holidays, so that all our families can enjoy their break without any
disruptions. Thank you for your
continued support and we look forward to seeing our students back at school on
Monday, 27 February!
Proud of you Patana!
Sarah McCormack

Learning
Reading
Please encourage your child to read throughout the holiday. Just 30 minutes a day makes a huge difference. This can include sharing texts with someone, reading subtitles on a movie, reading blogs, newspapers etc. It would be great to hear about this holiday reading or even to capture reading in a variety of locations. You can take a photograph of you reading and share with Ms Sarah Dibley: sadi@patana.ac.th.
Maths
Please try to complete any outstanding Mathletics challenges to review your learning in Term 2a. Remember, retrieval practise and reviewing previous learning helps you to store this learning in your long term memory.
Global Citizenship
Events around 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.
