This week the children have had their multiplication and division hats on in Maths! They have been revising the 2 Times Table and learning to recognise odd and even numbers. The activities involving doubling, halving and dividing objects and numbers by 2 all provide practical applications of these concepts, allowing the children to see how they can be used in real-life situations.
Engaging in hands-on activities is an effective way to promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By exploring different strategies, making connections and applying mathematical concepts in real-life situations, the children are actively developing their analytical skills and deepening their understanding of mathematical principles. These activities encourage children to think creatively and independently, fostering a sense of curiosity and exploration.

Here, at BSB Sanlitun, we were pleased to host two weeks of visits of two Juilliard specialists from New York, across 3 full working days. Our Primary students got to experience a variety of lessons and teaching styles as Nick Mahmat and Brian Drye stepped into our classrooms and led music and drama activities.
What a wonderful day we had hosting our annual Chinese New Year Temple Fair on campus on Sunday. This great community event included games, a Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, a face changing performance, traditional crafts, a bouncy castle, food vendors and gift stalls.Thanks to everyone who made the event possible and magical!
