This week, we were proud to learn that one of our students, six-year-old Elsa Thien Long, was named as the winner of the 'Mini Miss Diamond Vietnam' pageant. She received this title during the grand finale of ‘Miss Diamond UK’
As promised in last weeks’ article, I am pleased to write that the students attending the HAC Basketball event at UNIS last Thursday, enjoyed their chance to test their skills against opposing teams from other Hanoi based schools.
Here at BVIS Primary, we are always exploring new ways to be innovative in our teaching and learning. One such way is incorporating the use of learning technologies into our teaching and learning. This will provide an environment where your children’s academic potential is realised through an enhanced learning experience, harnessing technology to support enquiry, reflection and perseverance.
Last Friday we witnessed ‘A Child’s Journey. Act 2’. This was our combined winter arts celebration and what a fantastic showpiece it was. Every single Primary student participated, dancing or playing music and all had a piece of art work on show too.
You will hopefully have heard the name ‘Juilliard’, if not from its fame as a centre of excellence for its Arts programs, then from its collaboration with Nord Anglia Education and in particular the British Vietnamese International School Hanoi. Hilary Easton, one of the curriculum developers for the global collaboration, Juilliard Faculty Head and owner of her own dance school in New York, has worked with our students and staff to see how the Juilliard dance curriculum is working for our students.
Another week flies by and more magic moments are created, relationships between children and their new teachers are strengthened and former students, now in Secondary, remind you of why our school is just so special. Walking through to EYFS Ngoc Diep and Van Anh stopped me to tell me some jokes, and to give me a joke book Ngoc Diep bought in the UK whilst attending summer school.
