Welcome to the First Edition of BVIS Buzz newsletter, produced by our Primary students.

Over the last few weeks, students in our Primary school have been taking part in ‘Hack The Tube’, an activity designed by our partners at MIT.

I hope that you all feel rested, having enjoyed your National Day and long weekend break. Another week has flown past, with the children busy both inside and outside of the classroom.

Creative art activities can help children in all areas of development. Here at the British Vietnamese International School, Hanoi, children learn through a thematic approach and have the luxury of specialist art lessons each week. The creative activities planned consider the child’s overall development. They also contain many cross-curricular links with topics the children cover with their class teacher. Here, I outline some ways that art activities can support young children's development and why art is such an important part of a child’s cognitive development.

This week the year 6 children were given a fantastic opportunity to have a full day with Secondary. Their challenge was to find ways to achieve zero hunger around the world. They worked alongside Year 7 and 8

In January 2017, I was so lucky to join Nord Anglia’s Middle Leaders’ Programme. The first of two residential aspects was held in Cambodia with other teachers from different Nord Anglia schools. All the teachers were incredibly professional, creative, enthusiastic and happy to learn from each other. I’m sure that we all were inspired by the great course leader John Nicholls.

This week saw the first of our ‘Creative writing workshops’ for students in Years 5 and 6.

The children in Year 2 had a wonderful camping day last week as the Exit Point for the IPC topic, 'Hooray, let’s go on Holiday'.

Here at BVIS Hanoi, the student council has a very important role; they are the voice of all of the students in our care and ambassadors for our school.

The 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' show will take place at 5pm in the BVIS main auditorium on Wednesday 22nd June.

As we near the end of the Summer Term you can rest assured that there will be a lot of activity at the school over the summer months in preparation for next year.

At the Early Years Centre we have also been looking at the Environment and we have created our very own green area to grow our own plants.

We went on the trip as a way to help children further develop their communication and language, sharing abilities and also to have a chance to use their imagination in a variety of settings.

School trips are such wonderful opportunities for the teachers and TAs to spend time with the students in an informal, relaxed setting and to get to know them better.
