Nursery has been exploring the natural world of autumn and all its seasonal changes. We used a range of materials to develop our maths skills in ABAB patterns. The children are learning that patterns are a series of repeating objects such as shapes, colours, lines, etc. We used natural materials to complete and make new patterns.
In Phonics, we have been exploring environmental sounds, which was excellent for this unit as we explored the sounds we hear in the autumn and the children used percussion instruments to make those sounds.
We extended our exploration by taking a learning walk to the Liangma River. The children were excited and used their vocabulary learned in the classroom to talk about the things they saw, felt, and heard.

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!
