Additive vs. Subtractive Bilingualism
Tesla’s transition to becoming a bilingual international school and IB world school is best described by the school’s philosophy of “Eastern values, Western creativity”. We are utilizing MOET educational expectations as a foundation for the internationally recognized IB approach to the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of the students. A very important aspect of this process is the preservation of Vietnamese culture and language while developing English.

Grade 1 Reflection through Artwork
This week, Grade 1 students were very excited when reflecting on what they understand about the unit they have studied. Everyone spent time thinking before choosing to draw or to paint an illustration of one of the five senses from the Unit of Inquiry: touch, smell, taste, hearing or sight. Well done, Grade 1!

Ms.Nguyen Ha Huyen Kim
PYP Coordinator
In Grade 4 EAL this week we have been busy completing our final products and sharing our learning to each other. We have been learning about plants and animals adaptations for this unit of inquiry. There are many ways we can make our learning visible and we are proud to tell you about some of them. We created informative reports to explain how our chosen plants or animals adapt to the environment with their special physical features or behavior. We designed posters with creative drawings of animals or plants and labels of interesting facts to illustrate their adaptations. We used oral presentation to share our learning and interact with our audience.
What excited us most was when we could create our own game cards called “I have … who has…?” or a set of dominoes to reinforce our knowledge. We learned to manage our time, organize our products and share responsibilities. We had tremendous opportunities to develop our skills from working and playing together in groups.

Understanding Kindergarten (KG) at TESLA SCHOOL
- Speaking in short sentences (5 to 6 words long) and speaking them clearly enough to be understood most of the time

Ms. Le Thi Hong Son
Head of Moet Early Years
- Develop their own competencies: Sports activities can help children develop self-esteem and confidence. Encouragement or high-fives also increase the confidence of the teammates.
- Maintain discipline: any sport requires players to maintain discipline. Discipline helps children achieve their goals and also brings out the best in their abilities.
- Develop their social skills: Team spirit and teamwork are always shown very clearly in sports activities. When the members of the House Team are not from the same class, but from the school’s campuses, or multiple classes with many ages, children will learn how to help, how to become a leader, how to work together to achieve a common goal.
The School Nurse
Effective prevention of heatstroke in children
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat, bright-colored comfortable clothes that can absorb sweat easily;
- Avoid areas with strong sunlight; do not stand in direct sunlight or stand in crowded places;
- Limit strong physical activity; take advantage of shade for shelter;
- Drink enough water. When doing physical activity in a hot environment, children can drink 0.5-1 liter of cool water per hour.
