We have had fun filled weeks of learning in Year 6 as we have been off to the Fair!
‘Fairgrounds’ - a topic based unit, has allowed students to be creative, work collaboratively and take part in exciting challenges linked to fairground rides and attractions.
During the unit, students have enjoyed working on a range of STEAM tasks. For example, they created a marble rollercoaster to engineering a functional wooden Ferris wheel!
‘STEAM’ stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths. The objective of ‘STEAM’ is to integrate these subjects and get students to think outside the box and problem solve. It has been great seeing the students apply their knowledge and understanding to overcome obstacles, work together and ‘Be Ambitious’ with their designs!
Using a range of digital apps, the students have also had great fun exploring fairgrounds including:
Our ‘Fairgrounds’ topic is a fantastic example of how group-based STEAM tasks can be combined with digital activities to enhance and create memorable learning experiences for our students.

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.
