📢 Join us for our Open Day (26th March) | Application Fee Waiver (*)
Meet our exceptional school leaders, take a guided tour expertly led by our amazing students, and discover firsthand what makes us the premier British school in Hanoi.
On Wednesday, we waved goodbye to a team of 24 primary students as they started their journey to the FOBISIA Games in Kuala Lumpur. This is the first time we have sent a team for the Under 11s and they will be against some stiff opposition from the following British International schools: KTJ, the host school; The ABC International School in Ho Chi Minh City; The British School, Beijing and Garden International School Rayong, Thailand.
I would like to start by celebrating BIS Primary success in ICT. Last weekend, Noah, Tuong Anh, Ky Lam, Nam Khoi, Xuan An and Coco from Year 5 and 6 entered a Global Codeathon hosted by UNIS.
Only three days in school this week however so much has happened! I must start by congratulating the Year 3 children who went home yesterday after lessons and returned with pillows, pajamas, swimsuits, teddy bears and a toothbrush; yes, it was the annual sleepover for our 7 and 8 year olds!
The Year 2 children were amazing today as they joined together to perform a Talk for Writing version of the book, ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. Our Year 6 students were present to report on the assembly and here’s what they thought:
Today, our young entrepreneurs in Year 3 really made us proud. For a number of weeks, they have been involved in a real project with a serious motive: to raise money for Tam Dao Bear Sanctuary. In presentations delivered this morning to parents, the children explained the process they had gone through.
Tet is fast approaching and our Brish International School Vietnamese Department is busy preparing for our annual Tet assembly. On Tuesday, we will have a special whole school Tet celebration which all parents are invited to. Both parents and children are welcome to dress in Ao Dais or Hanboks for the assembly which will take place at 8:50am.
Today, our regular Friday Primary Assembly was replaced by a huge Zumba session in the Sports Hall. This exhilarating session was certainly great fun for British International School Hanoi children and staff as well as celebrating a super end to our Keep Healthy, Stay Safe week.
Many studies demonstrate that there are clear, measurable benefits for children when their parents are actively engaged in their learning. Children are more likely to develop positive self-esteem, be motivated to learn, be positive about school and achieve good grades.
Two very special events took place this week in the Primary School. Firstly, the Early Year Centre performed ’In My Dreams’: a lively and colourful production with catchy tunes and an important moral where good conquered evil and friendship won through. The second event was the Primary Talent Show.
