What a wonderful week in Chinese!
Year 1 Native Group learned the texts about opposite words and how to use quantifiers. The children practised opposite words with a variety of fun activities. They also practised Chinese characters in various interesting ways. Some used Lego, some ‘spelled’ the characters with their bodies, and some built with pens. They helped and cooperated with each other.
In Year 2 (Native Group) the children discussed what activities or sports are available on the playground. We also discussed verbs related to movement. They wrote the words of the activities and tried to match them with the corresponding actions.
In Year 3 (Native Group) the children learned a fable story ‘Sitting in a Well and Looking at the Sky’. The children acted out this interesting story by pretending to be a bird helping a frog to see the world from a broader perspective.

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!
