At the same time, we are supporting our DP and MYP students asthey take important practice exams this week. I wish them all great success! 

Next week is also a big one for sports. Join us to cheer on our sister school, UISZ, as they host the exciting ACAMIS Basketball Tournament here at UISG on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, joined by schools from across Guangzhou. We also have our own UISG Wolves competing in the ACAMIS Chess Competition, and I wish the very best to all our students playing in other sports events this week, including football and volleyball.

A Seoul Reunion: Celebrating Alumni Journeys

This week, our Board Director and Chair of the UEF Board, Ms. Dorothy Wong, visited Seoul, South Korea. Amidst a busy schedule, she made time to reconnect with two alumni: James (UISG, ’25) and Jessica (UISZ, ’20). It was wonderful to hear about their journeys — James is now pursuing a degree in nursing, while Jessica is building her career in finance. We love seeing our graduates thriving!

Discovering How People Have Different Roles in the Community

Our K1 students are deep into their Unit of Inquiry, “How We Organize Ourselves,” exploring the central idea: People have different roles in the community.

Our inquiry launched with an exciting discovery! Using an aerial map of Guangzhou, the children looked closely at our local area. To their surprise, they identified a fire station right next to our school! This sparked our first visit, where our future community helpers explored the fire trucks, tried on the heavy uniforms, and learned about the firefighters’ important roles and tools.

Our exploration didn’t stop at the school gate. We realized that community helpers are all around us, even within our own school! We visited our wonderful security guard, who was incredibly helpful. He showed us his tools, let us try on parts of his uniform, and talked about his important role in keeping our school safe. It was a wonderful moment of becoming aware that our school is a hub of community helpers.

Building on these experiences, this week’s focus turned to health services. We had a special visit from a Dentist Victor from 广州博恩口腔门诊部, who kindly checked our teeth and taught us about the important tools he uses to care for our smiles.

DENTAL CHECK-UPS  

We are only in the second week of our unit, and the real-world connections are already flourishing. Our classroom is transforming into a hub of inquiry, supported by visits from our Chinese language specialist to ensure every child can engage deeply as we explore various roles.

The adventure continues! Next week, we’re off on another field trip for hands-on play, focusing on the tools and uniforms that define different community roles.

We look forward to sharing more of our journey with you. Please enjoy the photos from our map investigation, our visits with the fire station, our school security guard, and the dentist, as well as moments of language support in the classroom.

Writing Across Grades: A Celebration of Young Authors

This week primary students connected for a writing celebration assembly. This is our second assembly this year to celebrate how our students are developing as writings. Students were engaged and excited to share their writing and their process with others. It’s a wonderful opportunity for different aged students to connect and share together, give praise and feedback to each other and see how writing might look as they move up in the school. 

Writing Celebration

Harmony in Unity:  A Day of Song and Connection

On January 20, the UISG primary choir went to AISG to join other school choirs for Sing Up. This was a full day of singing, playing, and performing together. Our students had a wonderful time making music with friends from all around Guangzhou, and our concert went beautifully. UISG sang Al Shlosha D’Varim by Allan Naplan, and the concert closed with a very fitting mass-choir performance of Sisi Ni Moja (We are one) by Jacob Narverud. We were all impacted by the power of hearing 167 primary voices singing together! Thank you to all of our choir members for contributing to such a wonderful day, and thank you to Ms. Jessie and Ms. Shannon for making the arrangements to get us there.

Grade 1 How We Express Ourselves End of Unit Celebration

To celebrate the end of our “How We Express Ourselves” unit, our creative Grade 1 students proudly presented their handmade communities and cities—built entirely from recycled materials! Each model was thoughtfully designed and included signs, symbols, and logos that served important purposes—whether to guide us, warn us, or regulate our behavior. The children confidently explained the meaning behind each element, showing a deep understanding of how visual communication shapes our world. It was a joyful and inspiring event, with teachers, K3, and Year 2 classes joining us to celebrate this meaningful learning journey!

Grade 8 Theatre: Bringing Tableaux to Life on Campus

Grade 8 Theatre classes have completed their first unit on ‘tableau vivant.’ Last week, students performed flash mob-style shows across campus and presented their works on stage.

The unit began with physical control training and a workshop analyzing historical photographs. In groups, students researched the genre, selected artworks with matching music, and collaboratively brought them to life through frozen poses on stage.

Performances were held at various campus locations. Thank you to the staff and classes who attended, witnessing our students demonstrate focus and overcome distractions through their performances.

Luka Lesson: A Journey into Spoken Word

This week the halls of UISG pulsed with a new energy, sparked by Australian-Greek spoken word poet Luka Lesson‘s transformative visit. Over two days, he acted as a mentor, profoundly engaging students.

For Grade 11 students analyzing his work, his presence turned textual study into a vibrant dialogue. Through voluntary workshops, he created a safe space for students of all language levels to explore identity and heritage through poetry, often blending English with their mother tongues.

The visit culminated in a courageous community of new voices, proving poetry’s power for personal expression beyond the classroom.

Celebrating Linguistic Diversity: International Mother Tongue Day

On Wednesday, Secondary Division held a vibrant International Mother Tongue Day celebration, initiated and led by secondary students. The event fostered cultural exchange through student-led country research, interactive presentations, and a lively festival featuring performances and cultural booths. Primary students and parents joined the final session, creating a true community experience. The event raised over 3,500 RMB for charity and demonstrated students’ creativity, leadership, and commitment to intercultural understanding.

本周，我校校董会成员兼誉德莱教育机构有限公司主席黄崇琼女士到访韩国首尔。在紧凑的行程中，她特地抽出时间与两位校友重逢：James（UISG，2025届）和Jessica（UISZ，2020届）。听到他们的近况令人欣喜——James正在攻读护理学学位，而Jessica已在金融领域开启职业生涯。我们无比欣慰地看到毕业生们正在各自的道路上熠熠发光！

探索 “人们在社区中的不同角色”

我们的K1年级正深入进行“我们如何组织自己”探究单元，本周聚焦的中心思想是：人们在社区中扮演着不同的角色。

探究之旅始于一个激动人心的发现！通过广州的航拍地图，孩子们仔细观察了我们所在的区域。令他们惊喜的是，他们发现学校旁边就有一个消防站！这引发了我们的首次外出探访。这群未来的社区小帮手们探索了消防车，试穿了厚重的消防服，并了解了消防员的重要职责和工具。

我们的探索并未止步于校门。我们意识到，社区帮手其实无处不在，甚至就在我们校园里！我们拜访了学校出色的保安叔叔，他非常热心地向我们展示了他的工具，让我们试穿了他的部分制服，并讲解了他在守护校园安全中的重要职责。这一刻我们真切意识到：我们的校园本身就是一个充满社区帮手的枢纽。

基于这些体验，本周我们将焦点转向健康服务领域。我们特别邀请了来自广州博恩口腔门诊部的Victor牙医。他亲切地为孩子们检查了牙齿，并讲解了护理牙齿所需的重要工具。

牙医检查  

目前单元仅进行到第二周，但与真实世界的连接已在蓬勃生长。我们的教室正在转变为一个探究中心，中文老师的特别支持也融入其中，确保每个孩子都能在探索各种角色时深度参与。

探险仍在继续！下周，我们将再次出发进行实地考察，通过动手实践来认识定义不同社区角色的工具与制服。

我们期待与您分享更多旅程点滴。以上是我们地图探究、访问消防站、校园保安、牙医以及在教室中接受语言支持的美好瞬间，敬请欣赏。

UISG小学合唱团“Sing Up”音乐日纪实

1月20日，UISG小学合唱团前往AISG，与来自其他学校的合唱团共同参加了“Sing Up”联合合唱活动。这一天充满了歌声、游戏与共同表演的喜悦。

我们的学生与来自广州各地的朋友们一同创造音乐，度过了美妙时光，音乐会演出也取得了圆满成功。UISG合唱团演唱了Allan Naplan的作品《Al Shlosha D’Varim》，而音乐会在全体合唱团共同演绎Jacob Narverud的《Sisi Ni Moja》（我们是一体）中落下帷幕，这首歌曲的意境与此刻的氛围格外契合。

现场167个童声汇聚齐唱的力量，深深打动了在场的每一个人。感谢所有合唱团成员的倾情投入，造就了如此精彩的一天；也感谢Jessie老师和Shannon老师的悉心组织与安排，让我们得以共赴这场音乐之约。

一年级回收材料创意展圆满落幕

为庆祝“我们如何表达自己”单元圆满结束，我们富有创造力的一年级学生们自豪地展示了他们完全利用回收材料手工制作的社区与城市模型！

每个模型都经过精心设计，包含了具有重要功能的标志、符号和标识——无论是用于引导指示、警示提醒，还是规范行为。孩子们自信地讲解每个元素背后的意义，深刻展现了他们对视觉沟通如何塑造我们世界的理解。

这是一场充满欢乐与启发的活动，K3和二年级的师生也一同加入，共同庆祝这段意义非凡的学习之旅！

八年级戏剧课：校园中的静态活画

八年级戏剧班已完成首单元“静态活画”学习。上周，学生们在校园多地进行了快闪式演出，并正式登台展示作品。

课程从身体控制训练开始，学生通过工作坊分析历史图像，分组研究剧目后，精选画作并配乐，最终合作在舞台上以静止姿态生动呈现画面。

演出于校园多个场地开展。感谢前来观看的教职工与班级，共同见证了学生通过专注表演克服干扰的成果。

随Luka Lesson踏入口语诗之境

广州誉德莱外籍人员子女学校的校园，近日因澳洲口语诗艺术家Luka Lesson的到访而激荡起一股崭新的表达能量。在为期两天的活动中，他化身导师，与学生们展开了深度互动。

对于正在研习其作品的十一年级学生而言，他的亲临将文本分析化为了一场鲜活对话。此外，通过一系列自愿参与的工作坊，他为不同语言能力的学生打造了一个安全的创作空间，鼓励大家围绕身份与传承进行诗歌探索，许多学生自然地将英语与母语融合在诗行中。

此次访问最终孕育出了一个勇敢的“新声”社群，有力证明了诗歌作为课堂之外的个人表达工具，所具有的非凡力量。

彰显语言多样性：我校首届国际母语日

本周三，中学部成功举办了首届国际母语日庆祝活动，由中学部学生自主发起并组织。学生们通过国家研究、互动展示，以及汇聚表演与文化展台的欢乐庆典，促进了跨文化交流。小学部学生与家长也共同参与了最后环节，营造出浓厚的社区氛围。活动还为慈善事业筹集了3500余元，充分展现了学生的创造力、领导力以及对跨文化理解的深切关注。
