Year 4 Learning about Digestion
Year 4 have been learning about the digestive system last week but on Friday it was time for children to get stuck unstuck. In order to correctly learn about how food is digested by the human body, children emulated how the body digests food by creating their own organs.
Students learned how food is digested by creating their very own digestive system, including the stomach, large intestine and other various organs involved in processing food. Sandwich bags and tights were used to help children understand how food is separated by the body as well as how enzymes (we used orange juice) breaks down food in the stomach.
Even though, the end of the process was not a particularly pleasing sight. It was lovely to see all the students get involved with the hands-on learning.

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!
