BOOK WEEK rocks! There is no greater support to kids than a Dad and Mom tandem to read to the 5th Graders the classic story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle to encourage the soon Middle Schoolers to unfold their wings and fly! Thank you Ms Olive and Mr Marc!

Hurray to Buddy Reading! Who do you think is more happy-- the cute and fully immersed K1 or the 5th Graders who chose amazing books and excitedly read to them? Rest assured though, the FIS BOOK WEEK is off to a great start!!

FOSCO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL won 2nd place at the District 3 Primary School Film festival on March 30, 2024. It qualified us to enter in the city-wide contest. The Theme of the Film Festival is My Hometown, My Inspiration. The 5th graders worked for at least 1 month from brainstorming, planning, script writing, practicing, shooting, overdubbing, editing, and preparing for presentation. There were 17 entries from District 3. Only 8 made it to the finals. At the end of the event, a judge praised FIS for making a film with a plot instead of just a travel documentary- making us her...

On Thursday, March 28, 2024, FIS held a Science Expo featuring the class steam projects and the Rubber Band Car Challenge. It was the culmination of months of Science experiments and explorations. This event introduces the world of scientific inquiry and motivate kids to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM). Congratulations Jenny from Grade 2 who won the school-wide Rubber Band Car Challenge and Grade 5 for winning the most stickers for their STEAM projects.

The 5th Graders enjoyed their trip to Ngoc Phuong Dentist's Clinic. They are happy to know that they take care of their teeth well! It is great to smile when we have great teeth indeed!

"Play or Exercise? A child's body doesn't know the difference. But their mind tells them when they're having fun!" Our Kinder Captains are obviously having fun on Fitness Fridays!

When children play outdoors, they're far more likely to invent their own games than in more structured settings-a key factor in becoming self-directed and inventive adults later in life." Can you guess what vehicle our little kinder captains created?

Grade 4 had a STEAM challenge: design a boat that floats. They were given various materials (cardboard, shells, wooden sticks, and corks) to create their boats. Finally, they were able to test their designs in water! Some floated better than others, but they had fun coming up with solutions to make their boats float better. Nice creations grade 4!

Grade 5 finished their blue-period paintings and practiced their framing skills. They demonstrated great teamwork and precise measurements to ensure a beautifully framed art work. Great job, grade 5!
