It's the summer holidays!
It only seems like yesterday that all the children were walking through the school gate on the first day of the year and now we have started term three and there are only 7 weeks left of school!
As well as completing the end of year assessments, a large focus this term is the final International Primary Curriculum (IPC) topic ‘Rainforests’.
During the first few weeks, the children in each class have begun to make a rainforest and will be adding information and animals to them as they learn more about rainforests from around the world. The photos added to this post are examples of how an atlas can be used to develop map reading skills and locate rainforests around the world. As well as developing map skills, the children will be researching and learning how humans can impact our Earth and specifically the rainforest.
This is such an important message for them to understand and it has been a theme for the school year and indeed current affairs around the world. BIS HCMC has a pledge to reduce the waste it uses in school and ensure we act responsibly and remember to care for the environment around us. Year 3 children will develop this understanding further and hopefully begin to spark a passion for taking care of each other and the environment.
Mr Mike Martin, Year 3 Leader
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.
