It's the summer holidays!
On Wednesday 28th August 2019, the students of Year 5 had their ‘Entry Point’ for our first International Primary Curriculum (IPC) topic, ‘Mission to Mars’.
The purpose was to stimulate interest and fascination in space exploration and the latest considerations for astronaut training. Building Lego towers whilst wearing oven gloves (to replicate space suit gloves), consideration of how to deal with an alien encounter and challenging obstacle courses were just some of the activities. The swimming pool was used for various devious tasks, such as putting on and taking off a t-shirt in the water, diving through sunken hoops and even brushing your teeth underwater! We will use the following weeks to further develop an understanding of various missions and projects that humans have undertaken to visit other planets and systems, with a particular focus on Mars.
Last month we were proud to have three student ambassadors attend this year’s NAE-UNICEF Student Summit, hosted for the first time ever in Houston, Texas from 12 to 19 June 2024. The event was hosted at Nord Anglia’s two schools in the city: The Village School and the British International School of Houston. Houston was chosen as the ideal location for the Summit thanks to being the first officially recognised “Child-Friendly City” in the United States of America.
At BIS HCMC we deliver in school a comprehensive wellbeing curriculum to provide our students with the tools, resources and support to balance their social, physical, emotional and mental health. As part of this, we also look at preventative measures to ensure the safety of our students beyond BIS and equip them with knowledge and skills for both today and their future success in the wider world.
This term we were extremely fortunate to welcome back into school experts from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City’s Regional Security Office (RSO) to discuss more on the topic of drugs and substance abuse with some of our students and parents.
