New challenges always provide learning opportunities. Teachers have been extremely impressed with the progress that students have made during Virtual Schooling and the independence that has developed over the last few months.
Staff were hopping with excitement on Monday and Tuesday morning as we welcomed Primary students back into the building and the week has just kept getting better. Despite the additional and much needed safety precautions that were in place, students reconnected with friends and teachers and took no time at all to adapt back to their classroom environment.
Teachers have been extremely impressed with the progress that students have made during Virtual Schooling and the independence that has developed over the last few months. This hasn’t been a holiday, the students have been working extremely hard throughout Virtual School and the combination of support from parents at home and teachers online has had a huge impact.
As every year progresses, we see the students mature and develop and this year is no exception. Our EYFS staff were prepared for transition challenges as our youngest learners returned to EYC, but have been amazed by the progress and readiness for learning displayed by children in F1, F2 and F3.
New challenges always provide learning opportunities. As we return to a ‘new normal’, we are reflecting on how we adapted and adjusted during Virtual School and what new ideas and strategies we want to carry forward. I am sure for parents, that whilst delighted to wave your children off to school on Monday, it may have been bitter sweet at the prospect of no longer spending so much time together as a family. One of our parents summed it up brilliantly, with this poem which reflects their feelings as familiar routines return.

As the academic year whirls by, the first term in primary school draws to a close, marking the end of a whirlwind of learning, growth, and new experiences.
As we move towards the end of term, our Primary exit points are always a great celebration of learning that has taken place over previous weeks and months.
At BIS, in addition to the excellent opportunities we are providing in the classroom, we enrich the students experiences and learning by taking them on day trips.
