On the morning of December 11th, the children arrived at school excited to see that overnight snow had blanketed the ground. It was the first snowfall of the season. During recess, the children wasted no time rushing outside to play. Squeals of delight could be heard as they discovered the magical snow-covered playground.
Some of the children took turns making snow angels by lying down and moving their arms and legs. Others packed the fluffy snow into balls.
The fresh snow provided many benefits for the children's development. It encouraged outdoor play, which is important for their health, exercise, communication and social skills. Playing in snow also allows children to use their imagination as they engage in role play and creative building. Kicking, throwing and packing snow helps develop their gross motor skills. Perhaps most importantly, playing in the snow on their first snow day of the season allowed the children to experience the joy and wonder of winter. It is a memory they will remember for years to come.

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.
