To celebrate the Spring Festival Year of the Rabbit, secondary students learnt and experienced a series of Chinese cultural activities in Chinese classes.
Writing Spring Festival couplets is an activity that students are very interested in. Students can experience the smoothness and "difficulties" of traditional brush writing, and at the same time, they can also feel a sense of accomplishment when they see their own works.

Among all the activities, students are most interested in cutting traditional window flowers. After the simple folding and cutting, the ordinary red paper changes into various kinds of window grilles. We enjoyed a friendly competition where everyone wanted to cut out the most beautiful piece of window flower in class!

The ingenious Year 7 students also cut out a variety of rabbit papercuts to celebrate the coming Year of the Rabbit.

Year 10 Native Chinese students created poems in celebration of the Spring Festival. Please see a few selections below.
Students also had fun learning how to make their own traditional Lanterns to take home!
Updates from our Secondary Chinese Teachers
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.
