Several of our gifted and talented students were proud to share their summer academic achievements with their Mathematics teachers:

I-tim competed over the summer break to keep her Mathematics skills sharp: she took part in a mental arithmetic mathematics competition with hundreds of other competing students.

The competition was the “19th International Championship 2019” and I-tim won the “HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Cup” An amazing achievement! Well Done I-Tim, here she is pictured with her certificates, medal, trophy & her Mathematics teacher, Mr.England.

Also well done to Bei Bei in Year 8 who studied over the summer break and achieved a fantastic Certificate of Excellance level J in Kumon Mathematics, displaying skills solving quadratic equations. Here she is proudly pictured with her Kumon trophy alongside her Mathematics teacher, Mr.Seigel.

At Bromsgrove, we value and celebrate the “Bromsgrove Learner Profile” attributes in our mission to develop outstanding learners and successful global citizens.

At our Early Years campus, this week’s focused attribute is “Positivity”.

Our Bromsgrove students are being positive in all areas of their learning and school environment. In mathematics the children are using different methods to add one more or one less; not always so easy when you are just 4! In literacy the children are applying a positive mindset to achieve new heights in their phonics and blending. In nursery our youngest students are being very determined and remaining positive with learning how to ride, play and share our new bikes, trikes and chariots.

In August, Yudo (Year 7) and Shokun (Year 5) participated in Thailand STEM Festival 2019 and competed against 20 other teams to design delivery bots using equipment provided. They performed incredibly well and demonstrated many of the Bromsgrove Learner Traits throughout the competition. We are very proud of their achievement. Well done!

In our Science lessons, Year 5 Pelicans have been learning about forces. On Tuesday, we carried out an interesting experiment into air resistance by designing and making our own parachutes out of old plastic bags, wool and gluesticks. We dropped our ‘skydivers’ from the third floor and timed how long it took for the parachutes to reach the ground.
“We found out that the bigger parachutes fell slower because they have a bigger surface area” – Jamie.
“The small parachutes fell really quickly” – Ponny.
“Can we take them home?!” – Bosco.

 

Primary had their first Thai cultural event of academic year 2019-20: Wai Kru Day, where students show their appreciation to teachers. What a lovely event and there will be many more to come throughout the year.

During the summer, Windsor Park Campus undertook many exciting facilities projects. Here are just a few highlights: Sixth Form Common Room transformation, diving blocks and improvements of the swimming pool facility, a new huge sand pit for our younger learners, complete refurbishment of student bathroom facilities and new wheelchair access ramps throughout the school. These are just a few of the projects that reflect our commitment to ensuring Bromsgrove is an incredible school for our students, staff and community.

 

Banning mobile phones, devices and smart phones on campus has already begun to have a positive impact on our student body. Students have embraced the opportunity to talk, laugh and play. It has been lovely to see so many positive interactions across the school.

 

 

Today at Bromsgrove Early Years campus our children enjoyed their weekly assembly delivered by the Headmaster & CEO, Dr Moore. The assembly reflected on the achievements that the children had made last year and set goals for the school year ahead. The children confidently contribute their ideas and demonstrated through ‘The potato challenge’ that we indeed have independent, determined, curious students that happily take a risk and can work well together.. We are excited to watch our young learner grown during this academic year.

Nama, Year 6, has been very busy this summer! She took part in the 17th Thailand Wushu Competition at Kasetsart University, Bangkok and achieved a gold medal in the barehanded category and a silver in the short weapon – saber. She also participated in the elite 21th Asia-Pasific Dance Competition here in Bangkok and received an honourable mention medal in the Modern U11 category. Well done Nama – a busy summer and lots of success!
