We were transported away to a magical land of fairy tales by our Year 2 students, with each class performing a different fairy tale, before joining on stage for a whole year song!
Well done to all the students and staff involved, such a production requires a lot of hard work, time and commitment. We all thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
Such year group initiatives allow students to form and build relationships across the school and away from their class. Productions help children to learn how to deliver a message, builds confidence and encourages students to step out of their comfort zones, and it brings the whole community together!
Our next year group production will be in March, we cannot wait.
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.
Edarabia had the opportunity to interview Joanne Prabhu, the Principal of The British School of Beijing, Sanlitun. Joanne is passionate about providing students with a world-class education that prepares them for success in the 21st century. In this interview, Joanne shares her insights on the school's plans for the future, the importance of student wellbeing, and the challenges facing education in the coming years.
We were delighted to welcome Hilary Easton from Juilliard school recently.
