Student Highlights & Success Stories (07/09 - 11/09/2026)

Dear Families

Thank you to all those that attended my Year 9 and Year 11 pre options information sessions this week. I hope you found these useful.

Next week I shall be launching a new initiative at BVIS called 'Friends of BVIS', keep an eye out for further information in your inbox next week.

This week we started our ECA program across the school and it is great to see so many opportunities for the students.

I wish you all a very relaxing weekend ahead.

🌟 Our Learning Goes Home!

In EYFS, our class pets are travelling home! Children are building confidence by sharing their special class pet with their families and returning ready to tell their friends all about the experience. Our WOW slips are also celebrating the wonderful learning happening at home.

📚 Growing a Love of Reading

In Year 1, children are discovering the joy of books through daily stories, independent choices and shared reading. They are building confidence, imagination and a lifelong love of reading.

🌍 Wonders of the World

In Year 2, children have been exploring the 7 Wonders of the World and famous destinations across Vietnam, including Hanoi, Hue, Da Lat and Saigon. Using maps, they are developing their geographical knowledge and understanding of places near and far.

🌳 Exploring the Rainforests

In Year 3, children have been mapping the world’s rainforests and exploring what makes these environments so remarkable. Their learning is developing geographical skills and a deeper understanding of our planet.

🎭 Bringing Stories to Life

In Year 5, students are developing their English communication skills through role play and drama. They are building confidence in speaking and listening while practising how to give and respond to constructive feedback.
