Bloomsbury Newsletter, May 2022

Bloomsbury International School Hatyai Dear Parents/ Carers, In response to your suggestions, we have changed the way our newsletters look and how often we will share them with you. Each week we want to showcase some of the learning in our school. Teachers will continue to post on Dojo, but we want eve- ryone to have the opportunity to see what happens inside and outside of the class- room. We also want to allow you to learn a little about our staff and share some im- portant dates. Our House competitions have been a highlight of our lunchtimes - thank you to Mr Chalk and the Heads of Houses for organising these fun and engaging activities. It is also significant that our students can now start going on field trips—thank you to Ms Bullen for organising the exciting and educational Y3 trip.
