Year 6 have thoroughly immersed themselves in our English text this term, becoming crew members of Endurance before setting off on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
In role, they were required to write CVs and attend job interviews with Ernest Shackleton and Frank Wild before writing goodbye letters and a series of diary entries recording the progress of the infamous expedition.
Along the way, Year 6 have learnt a fantastic variety of techniques to enhance their writing. It’s been wonderful to observe their highly enthusiastic and often quite emotional response to the subject matter as they brought this incredible story of endurance and ingenuity to life.

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!
