Dear Parents,

Welcome to the start of the academic year 2021-22. We would like to share some information in the slides below about our Virtual School Experience to ensure everyone is fully prepared.

Our provision for the Virtual School Experience has further improved and one of the first things I am sure you will notice is an increase in online lessons for all students. The timetable will be familiar as it looks the same as the timetable we follow when the students are in school. This means that all students will have their specialist lessons of Vietnamese/Beginner Vietnamese, PE, Music, Computing, MFL and EAL every week. In addition, they will have daily reading, writing and Maths lessons with their class teachers as well as science and topic lessons. I am also delighted to welcome our new school Librarian, Mrs. Hall who will be leading library sessions for Primary Students.

One new addition, for students and parents is our Virtual platform, Microsoft Teams. Class Dojo, remains as a great tool for communication between school and home. It is a secure platform that keeps parents up to date on learning in class and events that are taking place. It is also a wonderful tool for celebrating your child’s attitude to learning, positive behaviour and being a BIS Superhero role model.

Please do not hesitate to contact myself or the Primary office primaryoffice@bishanoi.com if we can be of help in anyway and I look forward to meeting you all in the near future.

Kind regards,

Rebecca Carroll

Head of Primary
