As part of their special 2023 Call to Earth Day coverage, CNN reported live from BSB Sanlitun where they spoke to our Year 6 students about how they’re taking action into their own hands on promoting sustainability and conservation in Beijing and beyond.
This year’s theme of "Our Shared Home" saw BSB Sanlitun students discussing their knowledge and ideas on how to bridge the gap between humans and wildlife through the building of green corridors in urban settings, considering risk reduction by modeling flood prevention options, and thinking ahead by using AI to design sustainable cities of the future.

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
This term, Year 2 have been learning about many interesting people in our ‘What makes someone inspirational?' Topic. They have explored space pioneers, technology forerunners, civil right activists, inventors and many other inspiring individuals.
Edarabia had the opportunity to interview Joanne Prabhu, the Principal of The British School of Beijing, Sanlitun.
