If you came down to the British School Woods on 23rd June you were in for a big surprise!

BSN Primary students put on a fantastic performance of Little Red Riding Hood featuring Chloe Pinney as Red Riding Hood and Lance Pan as the scary Wolf.

It was a great performance by all involved and a special thanks goes to those teachers and parents for helping the children bring Roald Dahl's version of the tale to life!

Thank you to everyone for taking part in our first annual Presentation Evening on 16th June. The night was brightened by a range of outstanding musical performances including piano, recorder and choir.

A special thanks also goes to Carma Elliot, British Consul General, as our guest of honour on the night, as well as Gilbard Honey-Jones, Academic Director of the British Schools Group for presenting prizes.

All students have started their swimming this week with Dianne Collins, our new swimming instructor.

The kids have been having a great time in the indoor pool. Thanks to Dianne and our teaching staff for kicking off our swimming programme with such success!

We had a great turnout at BSN's first in-class Open Day.

Many of our students' parents as well as new families came along to see how classes are taught at BSN. After starting off with a Foundation Assembly, visits to classes around the school gave everyone a chance to see the classes in action.

Thank you all for coming along!

This week ushers in the middle of our Spring Term and the beginning of the Chinese New Year.

On Friday 1st February, all students came together to create a brilliant Spring Festival Assembly with songs and a story telling.

Fantastic lion dancers were also a highlight as were Diablo, Kung Fu and Drum Dancing demonstrations.

The week of 28th January has marked Nanjing's biggest snowfall in 50 years!

Due to traffic coming to a standstill and student safety, BSN was closed Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks to the efforts of our hard working staff we were able to reopen Wednesday with cleared pathways around the campus.

It was great to have the children back at school and thanks also to parents for their patience through this heavy weather period.

BSN is very excited to have the opportunity to send a group of our students to the 2008 EAABIS Arts Festival.

Hosted by our sister school in Beijing, the EAABIS Arts Festival is a chance for 10-12 year old students from British schools through-out the South East Asia region to participate in music, art and drama workshops.

This will be a great opportunity for our students to learn more from others throughout the region and marks the first of many EAABIS festivals for BSN.

Our Spring Terms sees the introduction of 2 new classes at BSN. We are very happy to welcome Mrs. McGrory as our new Year 1 teacher as well as Mrs. Pinney as our Pre-Nursery class teacher.

The new classes also coincide with the setup of 2 new bus routes at BSN.

11th December marked the school’s first Christmas Production “Santa’s Christmas Tree”.

It was a great showcase of student performances and fantastic costumes.

The first BSN Christmas Fayre was a great success with over a 100 visitors.

Children had fun playing different games like “Splat the Snowman”, “Hoopla” and “Pin the nose on Rudolph”.

At the end of the day many people won lucky door prizes and as a school and community we raised 5100 RMB for our chosen charity “Hopeful Hearts”.

Bubble bubble, toil and trouble.... Witches and gouls cooked up a spooky Halloween day at BSN this year.

The last day of October brought out all sorts from scary tigers to cool lego blocks for tricking and treating.

We are very happy to announce the addition of Mrs. Still as our Music Specialist. As a very experienced music instructor, Mrs. Still is helping launch BSN's new Primary Instrumental Program (PIP) as well as our after school piano club.

BSN is pround to introduce our excellent teaching team, made up of outstanding teachers from our very own sister schools, as well as other renowned British Schools across the globe.
