It’s been a fantastic couple of weeks in Reception as we started our new topic ‘Houses and Homes.’

Year 5 is leading the WHOLE school to collaborate together to create the biggest, most exciting and inventive RUBE GOLDBERG machine that Nord Anglia Education has ever seen!

Our imagination is a very powerful tool. Imaginative play not only promotes the children’s intellectual development but also improves children’s social skills and their creativity.

In Year 5 recently we have begun our Global Campus Challenge in our Topic lessons. Our whole-school challenge this year is to create a Rube Goldberg machine!

Well done to all our boys and girls for playing some superb handball!

BSB Sanlitun will be competing in the B1 Primary FOBISIA Games (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) which will be held at St. Christopher’s International Primary School (SCIPS) Penang, Malaysia in May 2016. The games are a 3-day competition playing four different sports; football, t-ball, swimming and athletics.

After weeks of enduring rehearsals, learning words and losing voices the children of the BSB Sanlitun choir were finally given the chance to parade their angelic voices to the people of Beijing and make all those hours of hard work worthwhile.

As part of our Ancient Egypt topic, the Year 3 students have been busy collaborating in groups. Their challenge is to make a free-standing pyramid.

Three teams of U11 footballing legends assembled in an orderly fashion in the gym at 9.20am to embark on another journey to Beijing City International School (BCIS) and participate in the yearly JISAC Football Exchange held there.

With the new school year at BSB Sanlitun, we have a new group of children at the top of our school. As well as having a lot of learning to do they have additional responsibilities as the oldest children.

A short welcome message from our new Principal, David Laird
