Year 5's Play in a Week was called “Let The Games Begin” and it’s all about overcoming challenges by working together! Our characters were transported to the strange land of Lady Fortune where they become pawns in her games. Each of them must compete against the devious diva in a game of their choice to win their freedom and avoid being a game piece in Fortune's land forever!
The children had four days to bring this play to life by learning line, singing songs, designing and building set and props, as well as working together to put on 4 school performances!
Please see a few quotes from students on what they’ve learnt from their PIAW experience:
Jenny “This week we were able to work together and learn the importance of teamwork. I enjoyed working with lots of different children and adults- they were clapping so much for us at the end of each show!”
Yego “I learnt that perseverance is really important- never give up! The best part was seeing how much the audience enjoyed watching our amazing show.”
Well done Year 5!

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.
