UISZ values the holistic development of each child, and the PYP embodies this by emphasizing not only academic excellence but also a focus on learning about local and global contexts. “Week Without Walls” is a signature educational initiative at UISZ that offers our Primary students invaluable opportunities to extend their learning beyond the confines of our school building, engaging in immersive experiences through day trips and overnight field trips.

誉德莱增城重视每个孩子的全面发展，国际文凭小学课程（PYP）体现了这一点，不仅强调学业成绩，还注重学习本地和全球背景。“无墙周”是誉德莱增城的一项标志性教育活动，它为我们的小学生提供了宝贵的机会，让他们将学习延伸到学校之外，通过一日游和夜晚实地考察获得身临其境的体验。

Last week, the Week Without Walls came to life in various vibrant forms tailored to the different age groups. K-Y2 students embarked on forest school day trips to Dapuwei, a picturesque natural haven. Here, they were immersed in hands-on activities that explored the intricacies of light and sound within this stunning local environment. Under the guidance of experienced educators, the children observed how sunlight filters through the canopy, listened to the symphony of bird calls and rustling leaves, and participated in interactive experiments that illuminated the scientific principles behind these phenomena.

上周，“无墙周 ”以各种生动活泼的形式出现在不同年龄段的学生面前。幼儿园至二年级（K-Y2）的学生前往风景如画的自然天堂—大埔围，开始了森林学校项目一日游。在这里，学生们参与了各种实践活动，探索这里的迷人环境中光与声的奥妙。在经验丰富的老师的带领下，孩子们观察了阳光如何透过树冠，聆听了鸟叫和树叶沙沙声的交响乐，并参与了揭示这些现象背后科学原理的互动实验。

For the K3-Y2, the adventure took them to North Latitude Forest Camps, where they delved into the rich tapestry of Chinese traditional arts. They learned the ancient technique of tie-dye, exploring the art of creating vibrant, swirling patterns on fabric using knots and dye. Additionally, they engaged in leaf printing, a craft that celebrated the beauty of nature by pressing leaves onto paper to capture their unique textures and shapes. These activities not only nurtured their creativity but also fostered an appreciation for China’s cultural heritage.

对于幼儿园大班至二年级的学生来说，这次探险将他们带到了北纬森林营地，在那里学生们深入了解了丰富多彩的中国传统艺术。他们学习了古老的扎染技术，探索如何利用绳结和染料在布料上创造出鲜艳、旋转的图案。此外，他们还参与了树叶印花，这是一种通过将树叶压印在纸上来捕捉其独特纹理和形状的工艺，以赞美大自然之美。这些活动不仅培养了他们的创造力，还培养了他们对中国文化遗产的欣赏。
