Year 4 put their scientific skills to the test as they investigated which popular drinks cause most damage to tooth enamel.
Using eggs instead of teeth (the eggshell is similar to tooth enamel), Year 4 planned, made predictions, set up and concluded their investigation. Each day for a week, they made careful observations of any changes to the enamel, thinking about the colour and texture, and seeing if any cracks had appeared.
At the end of the week, as they concluded their investigation, the children were shocked to discover that it wasn’t the drink with the most sugar. “I can’t believe it’s the orange juice! My prediction was wrong!” one child exclaimed. What all groups learnt, is that the acid in the orange juice was more damaging than the sugar.

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!
