This week in Year 2, the children channeled their inner Jackson Pollock and got creative with some amazing splat artwork!

This week in Nursery the children have been exploring colours in different ways and mixing them much like in the stories ‘Mix it up’, ‘The Colour Monster’ and ‘White Rabbits Colour Book’.

In Chinese classes the students enjoyed a fabulous time learning about and celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival, one of China’s most important festivals!

PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic) lessons in Year 2 play a vital role in helping children develop essential life skills that support their overall growth. These lessons create a safe space where students can explore their emotions, build positive relationships, and learn the importance of health and well-being.

Our Year 5 and Year 6 students have been working hard in the past couple of lessons on the Ukulele unit. This term they will learn tuning, strumming/rhythm, accompaniment, melody, singing, hand coordination, sight-reading, and many other skills while learning the ukulele.

During the past two weeks, we have based our learning around on the story ‘Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes’.

Our Year 3 Puffins class had an exciting visit to the school Library this week!

Maths can often seem abstract and intimidating to young learners, but using Maths manipulatives can make the subject more tangible and engaging, especially for Year 2 students.

At BSB, Sanlitun we have a number of native German speaking students studying with us. The students have weekly German classes which allows them to continue to study German and advance their language skills, as well as being fully immersed in an English-speaking environment – giving our students the opportunity to leave BSB, Sanlitun bilingual!

The support teams were busy working throughout the summer to provide administrative support to our families and to ensure that the school is ready for the new academic year.

Last week Year 1 went to Agrilandia Italian Farm.

Our Student Council had their final meeting of the year this week, sharing highlights of all of the creative projects they have cooperated on in the last three terms.

Parents and students from Year 3 got a thrilling experience last week, participating in a Tornado Scavenger Hunt and competing against each other in a friendly Kahoot match.

As a nice and practical way to wrap up our Year 3 Maths unit on statistics, the classes designed their own surveys to collect data and represented this data in different ways.

The school was treated to a special German menu on 21st June, planned and produced by Frau Song and the BSB Sanlitun German Programme.

Our Year 3 students have been immersed in the world of similes, exploring how to vividly compare two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’.

This week, Nursery children have been engaging in our STEAM project – building a house for the three little pigs. Everyone made an effort into this!

At BSB Sanlitun, we love sportsmanship, and nothing demonstrates this more than when we are able to celebrate those that have really stood out in being team players and working to improve their skills.

Our amazing Year 6 classes demonstrated their creativity, cooperation, and commitment skillsets, working tirelessly together to put on a fabulous performance for their peers and families!

Although the classroom is where 70% of lessons may take place, it is not exclusively there where learning happens. Apart from specialist lessons like PE, Chinese and Performing Arts, at BSB Sanlitun we also have some great educational spaces that function as purpose-built learning areas that are more fitting and practical than the classroom for certain activities.
