PYP EXPLORE

The entire UISZ Primary School, from Kindergarten to Grade 5, embarked on an unforgettable expedition to the Heyuan Dinosaur Museum, home to one of the world’s largest collections of fossilized dinosaur eggs. This whole-school field trip was far more than a day out; it was a powerful embodiment of the IB Primary Years Programme in action.

从幼儿园到五年级，UISZ小学部全体师生开启了一场难忘的探险之旅，前往河源恐龙博物馆——这里收藏着世界上最丰富的恐龙蛋化石。这次全校实地考察远不止是一次外出活动，更是IB小学项目（PYP）理念的生动实践。

Guided by the Inquiry cycle, each grade level explored the museum through the lens of their current Unit of Inquiry.

在探究循环的引导下，每个年级都围绕当前探究单元，以独特的视角探索博物馆。

What made this trip truly special was the cross-grade collaboration. Older students supported younger peers during activities, shared observations, and modeled curiosity, reinforcing our school’s values of community and mentorship. Teachers across year levels coordinated learning goals beforehand, ensuring the experience was both age-appropriate and conceptually rich.

这次旅程的真正亮点在于跨年级协作。高年级学生在活动中支持低年级同伴，分享观察所得，并以身示范好奇心，彰显了我校社区与导师精神的核心价值。各年级教师事先协调学习目标，确保体验既符合年龄特点，又富含概念深度。

The Heyuan Dinosaur Museum isn’t just about dinosaurs, it is a portal to deep time, scientific thinking, and cultural heritage. In the PYP, we believe real-world experiences ignite lifelong inquiry. Today, every child was a scientist, a historian, and a global learner.

河源恐龙博物馆不只是一座关于恐龙的场馆，更是通往远古时光、科学思维与文化遗产的门户。在PYP，我们相信真实世界的体验能够点燃终身探究的热情。今天，每个孩子都是科学家、历史学家，更是全球学习者。

From sketching fossils to debating how dinosaurs lived, students left the museum not with souvenirs, but with new questions, strengthened connections, and a deeper appreciation for our planet’s remarkable story.

从描摹化石到辩论恐龙的生活方式，学生们离开博物馆时带走的不是纪念品，而是新的问题、更紧密的联结，以及对地球非凡故事的更深理解。
