Year 6 Newsletter 3rd October 2025

In the Primary School, Tiger Spirit Day is our Term 1 annual whole school charity fundraising event. The money raised goes into our Primary Central Fund. Each year, the Central Fund focuses on one of the UN's sustainable development goals to support our wider community and promote the values of sustainability. This year, our focus is SDG:12 Responsible consumption and production. We look forward to working closely with our partner charities to provide more opportunities for circular economies both here at school and our surrounding region.

Positive Behaviours – Positive Attitudes

As you walk around the school, you are almost certain to spot our Safe – Curious – Kind posters.

Many, if not all, of the behaviours and attitudes we want for our students can be explicitly taught.

Positive Behaviours – Positive Attitudes

Classes and year groups choose a small number of relevant targets roughly every half term.

The Year 6 Target for Term 1A is Being Safe: Transitions around school - Following school rules while moving around school and being on time to lessons.

Playground use before and after school

Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.

There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30.

The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.

We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.

Taking photos and videos of students on Campus

At Bangkok Patana School we welcome parents on to our campus.

As part of this agreement, all parents must agree to our Parents’ Safeguarding Code of Conduct.

This includes:

• Never taking images in toilets, changing rooms or areas where privacy is expected.
• Using judgement before taking and before sharing images of students.

During a regular school day, parents may only take images of their own child – unless they have sought and received permission from another family to include their child in a group photo.

Family employees with access to the campus must also abide by this rule.

Where and when can parents take photos and videos when on campus?

PE

Students should come to school in their PE kit on PE days. If they have swimming for the first lesson, they can wear their swim kit under their uniform. If they have swimming later in the day, we ask that they DO NOT wear their swim kit to school. 

Please ensure that your child brings their uniform with them to get changed into after their PE lessons.

Please check your child's class blog weekly to stay informed about their learning.

Please encourage your child to complete their home learning.

 Events In 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.
