The NAE Performing Arts Festival North China was held on April 12th 2024, emphasised once again how talented, creative, and cooperative children can be when they gather under favourable auspices and have the chance to show their creativity.
The BSB Choir was invited to participate in this fantastic event and through it they had the opportunity to meet their peers that were representing two other prestigious sister schools - NAS Beijing Shunyi and NAS Beijing Fangshan.
During the day the children were participating in workshops dedicated to singing/choir, drama, orchestra and dance. All the workshops were conducted by Juilliard trained staff.
We are glad that this festival provided a platform for the reunion and artistic dialogue of different young performers giving them the chance to feel empowered, happy, curious, ready to explore more in the field of arts facilitating hands-on learning experiences for every single participant and giving them the opportunity to create lasting memories.

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
This term, Year 2 have been learning about many interesting people in our ‘What makes someone inspirational?' Topic. They have explored space pioneers, technology forerunners, civil right activists, inventors and many other inspiring individuals.
