Note from the Principal

A note from the Principal

The end of another busy week in Primary! We were so happy to see our Y4-Y6 students return safe, happy and perhaps a little tired from their Residentials. Next up, will be our Year 3 students when they head down to Pattaya next month.

Next week, we look forward to our Lunar New Year celebrations and assembly on Friday and Fun Day on Saturday. Events such as these really bring us all together and help us celebrate our different backgrounds and experiences. I look forward to seeing you all there!

PE Provision

Unit 2B will begin on Monday 5th February

For all PE sessions, students should wear a full PE kit and bring in a their school uniform and black school shoes to change into. Please help us reinforce this message, as we are seeing an increasing number of students without a full uniform after their PE lessons.

Due  to health and safety reasons it is highly recommended that students wear football boots for their Tee Ball lesson. Any questions please do not hesitate to contact the PE Team - jaju@patana.ac.th

 For TeeBall, students will need to bring in football boots.

Please ensure your child comes to school with a fully charged device on this day.

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.
