From the Executive Principal

D ear Parents

I was very happy to meet with Sanlitun Foundation stage parents this week. We had an excellent discussion and a number of points will be carried forward. In the short term the new security processes, fence, cameras, guards were thought to be excellent. Of course we will not rest on this matter and will continue to review our security constantly. The new pool for foundation is being filled as I write and I know the children are very excited about the prospect of having their own “big” pool! Lockdown drills have been scheduled at all three campuses and will continue as we assess feedback from teachers and students. The purpose of the drills is to prepare the schools for any possible issue without overly alarming the students. We continue to work closely with the police of course. I have also had some constructive and useful suggestions from parents regarding security. These are being reviewed and integrated into our processes. I am always happy to receive feedback from parents on any matter of school policy. Our new Head of Secondary is flying out next week to begin his process of acclimatization. He will meet with our Parent Advisory Board during the week and hopefully write an introductory piece for the newsletter next week as well. Martyn has done a great job and I know that the “new guy” will continue to move the school forward. Best regards,Mike Embley

Dear Parents There has recently been announced an extension to the Dragonboat holiday. We felt this was rather short notice for working parents and so BSB will remain open for the 14th and 15th of June. We will close on the 16th of June for the Dragonboat festival as originally published. Regards Mike Embley

Swimming Gala Fun!It was lovely to have our Reception children visit the main campus this Tuesday to start the transition process of the move from Reception to Year 1. They were very excited and our Year 1 teachers were really impressed both with their behaviour and their keenness to listen and learn.

This will be happening every Tuesday afternoon to ensure the children feel very comfortable about the move into Year 1. After Muffin with Mums on June 15th reception parents are invited over to the main campus for a presentation and questions and answers session with Mrs Godber. Parents have already been sending in questions which will help Mrs Godber ensure the talk is relevant to everyone’s’ needs.

Year 1 & 2 were involved in a fantastic swimming Gala on Thursday. It was great fun and competitive at the same time. Mrs Robinson did a fantastic job organising it, but as she said, it was such a team effort with everyone playing a part. There are some excellent swimmers in Y1&2. Thank you to all the parents who came along to cheer.

The Early Years children and teachers are so excited about their new swimming pool. It is 10 metres by 5 metres and will be ideal for their swimming sessions. More details will be sent out soon from Mrs Smart but we would welcome any parents who can come along and join in with the lessons.

Year 6 have worked very hard this week doing their SATs exams. They are very excited about their trip to Inner Mongolia next week and I feel very lucky that I will be joining them on such an amazing trip. Sadly I will miss the Key Stage 1 performance which is already looking fabulous. We are trialing seating that is similar to what is found in a theatre, having rented them for the day to ensure all parents have a good view of the stage.

Have a lovely weekend and if you need to discuss anything next week whilst I am away please contact Stuart Young the Deputy Head.

All Aboard!‘This is flight SQ374. Welcome on board.’ With this announcement, pre-nursery started a whirlwind week of hectic travelling. We went to India on Tuesday, with Agastya and his Grandma sharing the story of Ganesha with us and showing us a little statue of the Elephant God. We ended the day learning to wear the sari and dancing to an exciting Bollywood beat.

Wednesday saw us going to Korea and Vietnam. We learnt how dried seaweed is made and made traditional Korean fans to beat the heat with. Kaden’s Mum even treated us to dried seaweed. Thursday was fun as we went to Australia. We made boomerangs, did traditional aborigine paintings and pretended to have a barbeque. Hildemar’s mum joined us on Friday with baguettes and cheeses as we visited France. Ooo la la, indeed!

“Mary, Mary quite contrary” has led quite nicely on to our garden theme in nursery. We’ve had fun planting seeds and watching them grow – some of them grow really quickly! We also found that we must give them water and sunlight. We have read a story about a Bean Diary and are keeping our own diary as we watch the seeds grow. We’ve made our own collage garden and lots of tissue flowers to make it bright and colourful.On Friday 28th May, RK performed the story of ‘The enormous turnip’ for their parents and the primary school. They delighted their audience with their acting, singing and recorder playing. All the children spoke in really loud, clear voices and enjoyed adding their own parts in as we went along. The children chose their own parts for the play and it was a nice way to start our new topic on ‘Growing.’

Welcome Lucinda!We have been so busy here at Sanlitun, practising for our very exciting production ‘Eddie the Penguin Saves the World’. Year 1 and year 2 have been working hard together using their artistic skills to design and make props and costumes for the performance including multi-coloured cars, rainforest trees and polar bear hats. We have been singing and dancing our hearts out in preparation for the big performance next Thursday. We also had our Key stage 1 swimming gala this Thursday. The victorious Vikings came in first place, closely followed by the Normans, Saxons and finally the Romans. It was amazing to see what great sportsmanship the children showed in cheering on and encouraging their friends and team mates. Everyone was also really impressed at how well the children swam and the enthusiasm, enjoyment and lovely behavior they showed throughout the event.

On Wednesday morning 2I made sure their classroom was really peaceful, and their voices really quiet as they welcomed the youngest visitor they’ve ever received! Three week old Lucinda Fergusson came to her sister’s classroom with her Mum and Dad, and big sister Eliza showed us exactly how to hold, care for and even wind a brand new person! The class discussed together how such a small person might experience the world around them, and how babies can communicate through different cries. The children loved having Lucinda to visit, and were full of great ideas and questions, which continued to provoke great discussion for the rest of the day. A wonderful opportunity to see the beginning of a person’s life! 2I would like to thank Eliza and her family for bringing Lucinda to meet us all.

EALIt’s been a busy week across the school. The EAL department has been busy too. We have assessed every EAL student in the school and been very pleased to see the improvements made by all the students. The EAL students have worked very hard over the course of the year, and this is reflected in their assessments. We have seen students who were shy to speak in August last year who are now comfortable to talk about a wide range of subjects. Some students who initially found writing very challenging are now writing comfortably at a much higher level. We would like to thank the parents of the EAL students for their support. Children who have strong support in their EAL studies at home tend to make very good progress. So please keep asking your children what they are doing in their EAL lessons!!Kaz Michalak

Visitors from Singapore!This week, Sanlitun were treated to a special visit from our friends in Singapore.45 boys from St Stephen’s School, Singapore, were here in Beijing this week on a cultural immersion tour. They had so far visited the Hutongs of Beijing, the Great Wall and the Museum of Traditional Opera amongst many other fantastic places of interest. We were honoured to accommodate the group on their last stop of the tour.Their first port of call at BSB was to Year 4s Chinese class. There they saw the different levels of Chinese studied in Year 4 – advanced Chinese performed a Chinese play, which was extremely well acted and received.Year 4 then gave the children a sneak preview of their Pingyao assembly which, again, was very well received as Year 4 showed off their art, drama, and dancing skills.A quick change by BSB and we were on to our next set of activities. As the Boys from St. Stephen’s, were on a Chinese cultural tour we decided to demonstrate our own Chinese art and craft skills by teaching them things that we had learnt in Pingyao and during Chinese Day. We showed them the art of paper cutting, the brush strokes of traditional Chinese paintings and also the characteristics of a Peking mask used in traditional Peking opera.The boys from Singapore were extremely polite and friendly. So much so that Year 4 were showered with gifts at the end of the morning.

We’d like to extend our thanks to all who helped in making their visit so successful.

Here comes the sun...The children in Y2 – Y6 have been having their end of year and end of Key Stage assessments this week. Staff have assessed all on their reading, writing, spelling and maths skills over the course of the last 5 days and have reported that our pupils have made superb gains over the year. In the UK, the average expected is that a child will move 2 sublevels up in 12 months in any subject, but our pupils have clearly met our higher expectations and we have some children who have improved by 4 or 5 sublevels in the 9 months since September. Children’s levels will be conveyed to parents in the upcoming Final Report (out on Friday 25th June) and the following week, parents will have the opportunity to meet with the teachers of all subjects at our Parent Conferences (29/30th June). We are very proud of the Primary pupil’s achievements and know that the combination of children setting personal targets with their teacher, good support from home, great teaching by our experienced staff, native speaking TAs in every year

group and a very positive and focused atmosphere in school ensures great learning, and confident and competent young learners!

A Message from the Head of Primary, Shunyi

Suggestions Box in Shunyi Primary

We pride ourselves on being a very communicative school and want to make sure that the community

has various ways to keep in touch and have their voices heard. So recently, a Suggestions Box was

placed in the Primary School foyer (on the ground floor) for all to jot down their ideas and suggestions

for improvement (paper and pencils are provided). The box will emptied every 2 weeks and the Primary

Leadership Team will look at which ideas we can get started on asap. Alternatively, parents may email

me on [email protected] or contact their Key Stage Coordinator (Mrs Bishop for FS, Mrs

Ross for KS1 and Mr. Bishop for KS2).

Worms and SunflowersThis week in Pre-Nursery, the children continued with the topic on ‘Holidays’. They have been talking about where we would be spending the coming summer holiday and we made a class list for the things we need to do to be safe in the sun. They have also been looking at books about travelling and holidays and comparing different modes of transport we take when we go on holiday. The children have made fans for cooling themselves down in the summer holiday. They have had fun water play outside the

classroom where they drew on the pavement with water. Meanwhile, they have been: making sandy footprints by sprinkling sand over prints; and making an ocean in a water bottle by filling with blue soapy water and sand and fish—all children loved walking around the classroom holding their ‘ocean’ bottle, feeling excited! The children have also been playing lots of summer games such as skipping, kicking etc…

In Nursery the children continued the topic of gardens and moved on to talk about different types of bugs, fruit, vegetables and herbs you might find in a garden. They have enjoyed touching, smelling and tasting a variety of herbs such as parsley and cilantro. The children did observational drawings and water colour paintings of some fruit and vegetables. Finally, in the cooking session, they made worms in dirt with chocolate pudding. They have also been talking about recycling and how they could reuse materials, using fewer materials and recycling materials. The children made birdfeeders out of recycled bottles, so that they could use them to feed birds in our garden.

In Reception classes they continued their topic of ‘Growing’ and they have been watching their beans grow in the classroom all week. They have made their own ‘Sunflower’ pictures based on Van Gogh’s painting and talked about the importance of plants and flowers in our environment. The focus for literacy this week was the popular story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. The children wrote their favourite parts of the story and wrote lists of adjectives to describe different characters. In maths the children have been observing number relationships and patterns and counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.

Seeds and HabitatsThis week Year 1 have enjoyed watering the seeds we planted last week. They were very excited to find that the sunflower and carrot seeds have shoots now. The children have planted their own bean seeds and have started making recordings in their bean

diaries. We have also been creating nature tiles in the style of William Morris which also links with our science unit on ‘Growing Plants’. Watch out for the children’s beautiful art work to be proudly displayed on the Year 1 corridor shortly. This week Year 2A were out in the sunshine sowing their seeds. All the children are really looking forward to seeing how our pumpkins, radishes and

carrots grow! They also celebrated their marble reward and really enjoyed playing with each other’s toys from home!2G built their own rainforest, using non-fiction books to help them. They found out a lot of interesting facts about all about the different animals and plants, and then made representations of these to stick onto a painted background creating a fabulous 3D picture!

Buddha & the environmentAs well as trying to complete each of their test papers to the best of their ability, the children in Year 4 have also continued to produce some wonderful art and science work. During art the children have progressed further with their Buddha project. This week they have focused on correctly joining pieces of clay together so that they stay joined once the clay has dried. They have also used different clay tools to carve and create special marks and effects. During science the children have continued learning about different habitats. This week they have focused on identifying different food chains along with discussing the effects of various environmental disasters such as the current Gulf of Mexico oil spill, on various animals and habitats. Well done everyone! Congratulations again to everyone in Year 4N! Their trophy for World Maths Day has finally arrived!Miss Thompson

Solar SystemsThis week in Year 5, we have been very busy doing our optional SATs tests. The children have worked very hard all week and have shown that they have learnt a great deal this year.

In between the tests we have been admiring the orreries that the children made for their homework project. Some of the finished models were simply fantastic. It was good to see the different ways in which different children approached the same task. There was a huge variety of styles and designs, all of them showing off the children’s extensive knowledge of the organisation of the planets in the Solar System.

Here are some photos of the beautiful work the children have created at home.

On Friday, the children enjoyed presenting their work and explaining the motion of the planets to the children in Year 2. The younger children listened with interest to the older ones explaining and using their own excellent work as visual aids. This topic has really

fired everyone’s imagination. Also, this week, 5JO planted their rose bushes and vegetable seeds in the Year 5JO plot near the entrance to Primary School. We have planted carrots, sunflowers and cabbages. The children are looking

forward to the possibility of eating the vegetables when they have grown. Y6 have been making clay sculptures this week. The children began their topic lessons on Monday by looking at the armour and appearance of what historians believe a traditional Mongolian warrior from the time of Genghis Khan might look like. The children then sketched a warrior, based on their observations, then on Thursday afternoon we were visited by the primary school’s resident artist Mr. Thomas who showed the children how to sculpt the basic shape of a model. The sculptures will be completed after Y6’s return from their residential visit to Inner Mongolia next week.

ChineseThe fifth day of the fifth lunar month is a traditional Chinese folk festival– the Dragon Boat Festival, also called the “Festival of the Fifth Month”. On that day, people eat zongzi (pyramid-shaped dumpling make of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves) and hold dragon-boat races. It is said, these activities commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan in Ancient China.

Children did different activities based on this culture event. Foundation children drew pictures of dragon boat and made the colourful hand craft of the shape of zongzi; year 4 advanced group children learnt the story of Qu Yuan and did a role play to present the story; year 5 intermediate children made zongzi by paper and cotton, it looks delicious!

Next week Wednesday will be this annual festival, we hope you all enjoy this special time.

EALKey stage 1This week in EAL the children have made steady progress. We’ve looked at the past simple tense, mainly regular verbs. The children have also started to learn the key irregular verbs that we use most commonly in everyday speech. Key stage 1 has also focused on correct punctuation and did a great job in self correcting their work.

Key stage 2Amidst the SAT exams key stage 2 has still produced some fantastic work this week. The main objective of the week was the future tense and personal pronouns. The children were able to successfully form the future tense using will and going to. The mission for the next class is to tell the rest of the class the difference between will and going to.A great week in EAL!

SecondaryMid-term report Guidance Last Friday students in years 7-10 were issued with a mid-term progress report. The report is intended to advise you of the progress your child is making towards academic targets. Please note that your child’s progress/attainment will vary from subject to subject. It is therefore important that you focus on your child’s individual end of year target level/grade and the progress they are making towards achieving it. It is perfectly normal for a child to be performing at a level 3a, in subjects they have only recently started (for example French) compared to a core subject such as mathematics which they have studied for a longer period, where they could be performing at a level 5a. Report guidance: Effort: 1(high) National Curriculum levels: 4(low) Secondary range of ability: Levels 3-8.Attainment: A (high) Sub-level indicator: e.g. 4a- indicates working towards level 5 D (low) 4b- indicates a secure level 4 4c- indicates working at level 4 in some areas If you would like to discuss any aspect of your child’s report/current performance, please do not hesitate to contact the school . IGCSE and AS Exams resume: week commencing Monday June 7th Please note that the external examinations resume next week and therefore all students are required to attend school as usual. For the small number of students who have sat all their examinations normal lessons will occur. Students will either make a start on Y13 units of work or complete consolidation activities which will effectively help them to progress to their next stage of study at BSB. Thank you for your continued support. Martyn Steel E-mail: [email protected] Head of Secondary, The British School of Beijing

KS3 ChineseIn KS3 Chinese Second language higher class, students practiced their presentation skills. Y7 and Y8 students were selling an apartment as real estate agents and Y9 students were in the TV industry as Weather reporters. Students prepared power point with the pictures of either their own apartment or pictures from the internet with great efforts. Although they were a bit nervous being filmed as a professional presenter, they had a great time. Small prizes were given such as ‘the best presenter’, ‘the funniest show’ and etc. Well done to all the students for their great enthusiasm and effort, especially to Amy, Mina and Jenny in Y7, Lucy in Y8 and Aden and Alastair in Y9!

An Amazing Nine Golds for BSB!British School of Beijing does it yet again but this time it was a legendary performance. On the 29th April this year, Years 7 and 8 took part in the Junior UK Mathematics challenge held once a year for this age group. Of all the students who took part nationally and internationally from over 3500 schools worldwide, 7% received the Gold award, 15 % received silver and 20% received bronze. The British School of Beijing had 9 golds, 8 silver and 12 bronze! This was certainly another huge success for our participating students and for the school.

Winners will be announced in a forthcoming assembly. Until then my lips are sealed!

SportsU13 Fobissea GamesBSB took a small but enthusiastic team to participate in the inaugural Fobissea U13 Games hosted by DCB. The squad was made up by Kevin Jo, Joseph Bradshaw, Duncan Watt, Benjamin Wetherell (all in Y7) and Fergus Chan (Y8). The boys took part in four sports competitions over three days of intense, but friendly competition.

Day 1 Swimming All the boys enjoyed their swims during the morning event and were competitive. Joseph performed particularly well and was able to secure a silver (100m breaststroke) and 2 bronze medals (50m fly and 100m free) from his five swims.Athletics The afternoon moved outside and again the boys were competitive. Joseph was able to throw to another bronze in the javelin, Benjamin leapt to a bronze in the long jump. Duncan ran a very mature race to secure a well deserved gold in 800m, before winning a bronze in the sprints and a another bronze in the triple jump

Day 2Basketball This was always going to be along day as we were playing without substitutes. That said, the boys really came together and pushed every team that they played in each of the six games. I was delighted and impressed with their efforts, the improvements they made and the way they worked for each other. The final two games were very close with the team

just missing out on victories by a single basket.

Day 3Soccer Again another long day and the team was very happy to receive a welcome boost with the arrival of Kirby Weng for the soccer tournament. Again the team as competitive as they played through a long hot day. In the round robin section they came away with a win and a draw and were unfortunate not to make the semi-finals.

All in all this was an exciting introduction to Fobissea and I am please that we were able to take part in the staging of the event in China. Next year I hope to include more players and also take a girls squad along to the event which will be hosted in May by DC Suzhou.
