The first day of school always brings a special feeling and is also the most profound memory in the life of all students. That’s why we implemented the #saveyourmemories campaign to capture these memorable moments. We hope that with this little exclusive gift, students of AHI will be more motivated and excited for every step of the lifelong journey!
Sprinkling the whole campus with AHI students✨
A week of excitement, of fresh starting and of immersing themselves as well around our campus. While AHI Preschoolers are really into the range of eyes hand coordination activities such as arts and crafts, Montessori, AHI Primary is highly excited to participate in learning and especially CCA activities like Piano, Football, and lego challenge to name a few
In addition, there are many activities that we are looking forward to bringing to the students, not only to enrich the diversity but also to convey our wishes in education to create a premise for lifelong learners. Stay tuned!
“Play is the highest form of research.” – Albert Einstein
Playing allows our Preschool children to learn willingly without having any pressure. This kind of setup lets them explore their surroundings more and retain information from their experiences. Learn, Grow, Play – The Anne Hill Way. This has always been our motto for Preschool. In addition, through sensorial and hands-on activities such as Montessori and Speech & Drama, we strive to create a positive environment for students to be curious and express themselves.
Anne Hill International School’s latest addition to its District 2 (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) campus and outdoor facilities – The “Reach For The Stars” Rock Wall.
Embellished with colourful steps, rock-climbing is a fun way for students to improve their balance, agility and core strength. Besides the physical benefits, it also helps students learn how to focus, problem-solve and conquer new challenges.
Balance
Learning how to balance is an important objective that we hope our students will recognise while they are doing this activity. Acquiring a sense of balance helps students realise their centre of gravity and how they can use this in order to shift their weight appropriately.
Agility
Students will also get the opportunity to improve their hand-eye coordination through rock-climbing. Through repetition of this activity, they will be able to improve their technique and condition their muscles. They will learn how to ascend, descend, grasp and grip in order to keep moving.
Core Strength
Rock climbing is a sport that teaches students to use their core strength in order to climb up the wall in an effective manner. Students will learn not to rely on their arm strength only; it is also important to utilise their lower body.
Focus
Unlike focusing in a classroom setting, rock climbing requires students to actively focus in order to maintain their balance and plan for their next move. It promotes deep concentration, allowing students to apply this to other settings throughout their school life.
Problem-Solve
Rock-climbing is not only a physical activity but also a mental exercise that provides students with a real-life problem: how to reach the top of the wall? Students will experience various ways to climb to the top and ultimately decide what is the best strategy that will conserve their energy, time and effort.
New Challenges
Finally, we hope to slowly introduce our older students to rock-climbing as an activity that will challenge what they have already learned in school. Let’s for aim for new heights not only through books, but also through the environment around us.
