Alex's School

My school is called The British School of Beijing or BSB. The school is really big. My school has lots of stairs. The playground field is really big. At recess we play tag and football. Football is really just soccer but that is what they call it here. My teacher's name is Mr. McGuigan. He is from Scotland. We also have a TA. His name is Mr. Lauther and he is from England.
My after school activity (ASA) is football. I also have a Chinese class everyday. At BSB I'm in Year 3 but I am in 2nd grade. I have a music class. At music class we sing, play shakers, drums and bells. We go swimming for PE.
Our principal's name is Mr. Bishop but here we call him Headmaster. We have houses at our school which is really just a team. My house is the Saxons. Our color is green.
This is my school uniform. I wear it almost everyday. I like my uniform a lot because it is very British. This is my "jumper" but it is called a sweater in the US.
I have classmates from England, Egypt, China, Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, Canada and maybe Germany.

  1. Alex,
    This is a great blog. I am so excited to be able to see your adventures. I guess I am going to have to learn how to blog and get my own, so I can show you pictures of our garden and your sunflowers as they grow.
    We found more worms the other day while working in the garden. Uncle Lafe and Berlyn dug them up.
    Keep up the good work, and Who loves you buddy? That's right, Papa, forever.
