Theory of Knowledge is a subject that encourages students to reflect on what they know—and how they know it. But it also requires them to consider what they don’t know, and this is one of the key objectives behind our Survival Day trip.
A group of Grade 8 and Grade 10 students from BWYA embarked on an unforgettable overseas school trip to the University of California, Berkeley, in San Francisco. Led by Dr. Richard Harrison, this marked BWYA’s third year participating in the Global Innovation Race, a prestigious program hosted by the Digital Media Academy at Stanford University.
This year’s Xi’an trip was an unequivocal success with tonnes of culture, learning, and laughter. The many museums and fantastic activities kept the students entertained for the entire four days
Qingdao, on the Shandong Peninsula, is a historic maritime fortress. Eighth-grade students explored the Badaguan Scenic Area and International Architecture Complex, showcasing diverse architectural styles from over 20 countries.
Sixth-grade students visit the birthplace of Confucian culture, Qufu, to personally experience the origin and development of this culture. Confucian culture is one of the longest-lasting and most influential cultures in Chinese history.
As part of their Art studies, Grade 7 ventured out to the National Arts & Crafts Museum on Tuesday. There they discovered the pinnacle of traditional art and got to try out some of these techniques for themselves!
As part of their ‘Earth, Land, and Water’ theme, Grade 2 went out and visited the incredible Geological Museum of China to learn more about our planet and what it is hiding beneath its surface.
On Thursday, Grade 1 ventured out to the incredible Light, Science & Technology Museum in Beijing. They were shown around an amazing collection of light and sound exhibitions which the students were completely mesmorised by, as you can see from the video below.
