Living our Values

We are collaborative communicators 

Upcoming Events

Well-being

Happy Birthday to the following students:

Umi(6E); Ava (6F); Sahiem (6J); Poon (6P); Alex (6T)

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we are asking students NOT to bring in any cakes or treats from home to share with members of the class. We will however sing Happy Birthday at some point throughout the day. 

Learning

Laptops for learning

If you haven't made an appointment to register your child's laptop, please follow this link.

Your child should get into the habit of bringing their laptop to school every day, with the battery fully charged.

Connected Learning

In a couple of weeks, the students will be creating a self-portrait using mixed media. We need to collect some materials to enable the children to do this. If you have any spare/leftover wrapping paper, wallpaper or any patterned/textured paper, please could you send it in with your child.

Home Learning

Home learning will begin next week for Year 6 students.

They will receive 1 piece of Maths and 1 piece of Connected Learning or Literacy. This will be set as a task on Firefly (which you can view via the Parent Portal) every Thursday and should be handed back in the following Tuesday.

Students are expected to read everyday for about 20 minutes.

PSHE

'We are celebrating students who make our school a better place.'

Each week, we will celebrate students who live by our school values showing that they are kind and compassionate, considerate, respectful, motivated and engaged and confident collaborative communicators.

We will also celebrate this by sharing Praise Postcards with our students to show that we see them and we recognise and value their contribution to our Patana community.

PE

Please see the curriculum map below to find out which PE lessons you have on Monday and Fridays:

Basketball lessons require Patana PE kit, water bottle and PE shoes.
