What a wonderful school year we are having in Year 1! In our Mathematics lessons, we have been working with numbers. Students have been making and breaking amounts to build our confidence with the place value system. This has been supported with lots of practical equipment (manipulatives) to help develop conceptual understanding.
In our English lessons, we have been building our sentence powers. We have been extending sentences with connectives and making the sentences come to life by sprinkling in some lovely adjectives. This has been supported with lots of good examples of great language drawn from a range of high quality texts.
Across the rest of the curriculum, we have been making sure there are lots of practical opportunities to investigate materials and their properties and providing the students with lots of hands-on opportunities to make and do.

The British School of Beijing, Shunyi Campus offers the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is renowned for its active learning approach. This method is integral to early childhood education, providing young learners with a solid foundation for their future academic and personal development. At BSB Shunyi, active learning means children learn by doing — through a thoughtful blend of teacher-guided activities and independent exploration that develops both their academic skills and their love of learning.
The British School of Beijing recently hosted BritMUN 2025, a Model United Nations (MUN) event that highlights the exceptional organisational and leadership skills of our students. This year's conference was a remarkable success, attracting student delegates from many different schools across Beijing, including the British School of Beijing, the International School of Beijing, Dulwich College Beijing, and Beijing World Youth Academy.
