Is your child a picky eater? This is not uncommon especially for younger children. Melanie Yates gives parents some advice on how you can change your child's anxiety and frustrations towards food into a positive eating experience.
Reading is one practice, that can improve everybody’s English level. We are looking forward to the secondary Book Week, when students will be involved in a range of activities, that will inspire them to delve into the extraordinary world of the written word.
The Progress Check Tests are formal tests that are completed throughout the year in order to establish how well each student is doing and provide opportunities for support afterwards in a more personalised way. In addition to this it helps prepare the students for the upcoming challenges of their IGCSE or IB external examinations.
It is looking to be another exciting year filled with applications to all parts of the globe. I am confident with the strength of the International Baccalaureate Diploma and our own BIS Hanoi Diploma that our Year 13s will be just as successful as last year’s graduates in finding the right university for them.
The mathematics team aim to motivate and inspire all our students within a stimulating, challenging and positive environment, and I have no doubt that our students at British International School, Hanoi will look forward to studying Maths and striving to achieve to their full potential.
We have been back just over a week and our Year 13 students are beginning to realise the size of the challenge that faces the final year IBDP student. Students are making improvements to their extended essay prior to feedback from their personal tutors. The extended essay is an essential part of the IB. It is a 4,000 word piece of extended writing based on independent research. Students must achieve a passing grade for their extended essay (grade D or above) or they will fail their diploma.
It has been a busy week in the Primary school, with the children being on full timetable and starting specialist lessons. Our superhero Captain Care is the theme for this half-term. Caring is one of our six characteristics that are part of our aide-memoire and Captain Care has been spotted around school this week. We have been talking about caring for each other but also how we take care of our belongings, our school and the environment.
Australia, Bratislava, California, Dubai...an alphabet of places rolled off the tongues of our returning students, as they told us stories about their summer holidays and home countries, but there was a common theme- our BIS Hanoi community are delighted to be home in beautiful Vietnam.
