It's the summer holidays!
This week, all Year 6 students were able to watch a heart and lung dissection as part of their Science topic, ‘Healthy Bodies’. Ms Smith, from the Secondary Science Department, kindly organised this experience.
The primary children were able to observe the heart/lung dissection via a visualizer and the projection screen. Ms Smith explained where the different parts were located and their different functions. This linked to our classwork and how blood travels around the body delivering oxygen and nutrients to the areas that need it and removing waste products. We have also been looking at different muscles and how, during exercise, they need an increase in oxygen and other nutrients to enable them to work efficiently.
Finally, the children were given the opportunity to investigate the heart and lungs themselves. Wearing gloves, they were able to pick up the organs and locate the different parts.
This was a fabulous experience enabling the children to visualise what they have been learning about in class as part of the primary curriculum. We would like to say a huge thank you to Ms Smith for taking the time to show us this.

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.
