广州耀华外籍副校长


尊敬的家长朋友们,


大家好!当我打开电脑透过办公室的窗户往外望去,阳光明媚,天空湛蓝。看着台历上的日期:2020年11月25日,心想:今年真是特殊的一年!不管怎样,希望所有人能享受当下的美好天气,保持身心安康。


感谢家长们在家长教师学生见面会调查问卷中给予我们的积极反馈:家长为学生的进步而感到高兴、学生在学校感到安全、学生信任老师们等等,这让我们倍感欣慰。


12月4日,我们也将举行STEAM和英语开放日。考虑当前的疫情情况,我们当天将会限制入校人数,敬请家长期待。


在这个特殊的时期,了解到有家长迟疑孩子将来的去向,我认为我们可以从一个积极乐观的角度切入:疫苗即将面世,眼前的疫情终会结束。


家长们常问:“我们怎样才能帮助我们的孩子,让他们为从耀华毕业后的海外生活做好准备呢?”我认为:准备应从当下开始,因为成为一个真正的全球公民是一个漫长的过程,而对我们的学生来说,好的榜样很关键。


下面几点与你们分享,希望能帮助每一位孩子从国际教育中有所收获成为真正的全球公民:


开放的视野;

创造力;

解决问题的能力;

放眼全球,

立足本土;

团队协作;

批判性思维;

独立自主;

态度和动机。


顺祝安祺!

Dear all,

While I’m writing this to you, I look out of my office window…….  it’s a sunny day out there, with blue skies and nearly 28 degrees. I look at my desk calendar…25 November 2020, and I think to myself: this surely is a year of extremes!

Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful November weather, but let’s stay vigilant and safe.

We want to thank you for the positive feedback you gave us in our latest parent survey. It is great to know that the students and parents are happy with the progress our students are making, that they feel safe at school and that they trust us in our decision making.

On the 4th of December we’ve got the STEAM/THEME & English open day happening.

Unfortunately, due to Covid19, we can only allow limited numbers on our campus that day.

Many parents are currently considering the future of their children, but I think we should all think positive, vaccines are just around the corner: this will go away!!

Often parents say: “how can we assist our children, and prepare them for a life overseas, after Yew Wah?”

I would say the preparations should start today, as becoming a truly global citizen is a long process and the key for our students is to have good role models.

Below I have collected some tips for you to assist your child getting the most out of an international education and to help them becoming a truly global citizen.

  • Open Mindedness: 开阔的胸襟

  • Creativity 创造力

  • Problem Solving 解决问题的能力

  • Local vs Global Citizen 放眼全球,立足本地

  • Working in Teams 团队协助

  • Critical Thinking 批判性思维

  • Independence 独立自主

  • Attitude & Motivation 态度和动机

幼教部运动会 

ECE Sports Day

一年一度的运动会对幼儿园的孩子们来说,是一件非常激动人心且期待的事情。今年因为疫情的原因,很遗憾没能邀请家长们加入到活动中,但孩子们对老师们精心准备的游戏都非常喜欢并积极参与,愉快的度过了美好的一天!


和往年一样,我们运动会的目标意在让孩子们在游戏中感受合作的重要性和学习如何成为一位团队成员,培养孩子们的团队协作精神。我们将孩子们按照社际队伍分组并结队进行游戏,游戏中大哥哥姐姐帮助弟弟妹妹们,弟弟妹妹也以哥哥姐姐们为榜样,在互助互带的过程中互相学习。


我们设置了穿越障碍物游戏,迷宫游戏,感统游戏以及许多有趣好玩的游戏。孩子们每成功完成一项游戏,就能为他们所在的社际队收集一张贴纸。最后有更多贴纸的队伍将获得第一名。人生漫漫长路,总会有输赢,但我们更注重的是孩子们享受和喜欢运动的过程,孩子们在这过程中也学习和感受了“公平竞争”的价值观。


我们相信孩子们回到家后,也能将快乐继续传递,与家长们分享着更多关于他们如何克服挑战和他们参与活动中快乐的故事。

Sports Day was a very exciting day for our ECE students. They loved all the fun activities and games that we have prepared for them. This year we didn’t have the opportunity to invite parents but our teachers made sure that our students had a wonderful day.


As same as last year we focused our goal on teaching our kids the importance of cooperative play and learning how to be a team member.


We had an obstacle course, a laser maze, a sensory path and many other fun games. Our children had to successfully complete each game to collect a sticker for their team. The team with more stickers will win first place. Even though there will be a winner, children are learning the values of fair play and collaborative play.


We hope our children went home happy and with lots of stories about how they overcame challenges and how much fun they had.

小学部运动会

Primary Sports


今年由于疫情的影响,学生无法参与国际学校校际比赛,所以我们把更多的时间和精力放在体育课上。后续当收到允许比赛的通知时,我们会照常进行校际比赛。在11月17日(星期二)小学部举行了田径和越野跑活动,取得了巨大成功。我们选择了五个主要项目,分别是50米短跑,50米跨栏,网球投掷,跳远和跳高。我们的想法是让小学部每个学生都参与到活动中来,老师们会记录下学生的成绩,这样就可以为每个学生建立数据。


与去年相比,有一个有趣的变化是:Jack老师为每个项目中和每个年级的小组中取得前三名的学生颁发了奖牌。虽然我们的重点是让学生们与自己比赛,但也要“尽力而为”和“玩得开心”,取得前三名的成绩获得奖牌的学生们都感到非常喜悦。


运动会最后一个活动,是越野跑。学生们平日的训练,积极的态度,奋斗精神和品格都在比赛中表现出来。他们在比赛中全力以赴,很多学生获得了本学期以来的最佳成绩。广州耀华体育组为全体小学部同学的表现感到非常自豪,无论是团队合作还是个人表现都非常好!

With Covid affecting our sports program attending tournaments and friendly games against other schools, we have put more time and energy into our athletics in P.E. classes. We held the recent Primary Athletics and Cross Country Day on Tuesday 17th November with great success. We chose 5 main events that students would also be able to compete in at inter-school competitions when the restrictions are lifted. These events are the 50m sprint, 50m hurdles, tennis ball throw, long jump and the high jump. The idea is to have every student in primary participate in every event and the teachers will record their times and distances – so we can build up data on each individual and year level.


A fantastic change from last year was the Gold, silver and bronze medals that Mr. Jack gave out to the top 3 girls and top 3 boys in each event, in every year group. While our focus was for the students to compete against themselves, ‘try their best’ and ‘have fun’ …the students also loved getting medals for their top 3 achievements.


In the afternoon we ran our ‘House’ Relays for each year level – where the 2 fastest boys and 2 fastest girls were chosen to race for their Houses. This was a very popular event, with all of primary cheering for their friends and Houses.

学生会竞选

Primary Student Council


小学学生会在本学年迎来了一个美好的开端。今年申请学生会的候选人超过三十五人。申请过程在11月24日星期二进行,竞争非常激烈。学生们用中英文讲解了他们能为学生会带来的优势,以及为什么他们是代表小学学生会和广州耀华国际教育学校的最佳人选。


下周将宣布2020-2021年小学学生会的名单,学生们都迫不及待。今年的使命是服务学生、教师和临近社区。12约会将会有大量的活动。请继续关注小学学生会,因为在不久的将来会有令人赞叹的事情发生。

集会

Assembly


在11月13日的集会中,Y13的两组同学分别做了品格教育课的报告。Henry和Flavio研究了人类天赋的可塑性和遗传性。Nicole介绍了情绪健康背后的科学以及关注身边人情绪健康的重要性。


Y8A的同学们在Assembly中分为3个小组向大家展示了近期品德教育课中所学习的内容及心得。他们积极地表达了对“成长型思维”和“固定型思维”的理解与看法,并对“如何发展成长型思维”提出了合理建议。此外,同学们还利于Assembly的时间通过分享有趣的视频等方式帮助大家解压,希望大家都能以积极的心态迎接即将到来的年中考试。

品格教育

Character education


这个月同学们已经完成了“身份”单元的学习。它涵盖了一系列的主题,其中包括培养健康的自尊、辨别情绪以及如何以有意义和富有成效的方式表达情绪、管理压力和培养良好的心理健康、反对陈规定型的观念和歧视,帮助那些正在与自尊或心理健康问题作斗争的朋友,欣赏人与人之间的差异和每个人的长处,了解身体变化如何影响我们的身份,发现我们的核心特点,并且不让同龄人的压力来改变我们这些特点。


一些班级在集会期间展示了他们学到的品格教育知识,其他学生们也认真聆听了这些有趣的演讲,内容包括如何帮助有需要的朋友,如何培养成长型思维,以及如何在身体上和精神上保持健康。很快我们就要开始新的一个单元学习了,这个单元是关于健康人际关系的。祝贺我们十月份品格教育的获胜者。这些学生在行动中的品格、服务和领导能力方面表现得最突出。获胜者分别是:六年级的Jax Zhou(2个行动功勋)、七年级的Angely Guo和Grace Xie(每个人都有1个行动功勋)、八年级的Devin Zhuang(1个行动功勋)、十年级的Evie Chen(1个行动功勋领导力)。我们为耀华学生的品格发展感到骄傲!

This month students have been finishing our unit on Identity. They have covered a wide range of topics having to do with developing a healthy self-esteem,  recognizing emotions and how to express them in a meaningful and productive way, managing stress and developing a good mental health, fighting against stereotypes and discrimination, helping friends who may be struggling with self-esteem or mental health issues, appreciating differences between people and the strengths each person has, recognizing how physical changes can impact our identity, understanding the core of who we are and not allowing peer pressure to change that.

Classes have started presenting some of what they’ve learned in Character Education during assemblies and students have seen some interesting presentations on how to help a friend in need, how to develop a growth mindset, and how to keep a healthy mind and body.  Very soon we’ll be starting our new unit on Healthy Relationships.  Congratulations to our October Character Education winners. These are the students with the most merits in Character in Action, Service in Action, and Leadership in Action. The winners are: Y6- Jax (2 service in action merits), Y7 Angely Guo and Grace Xie (each with 1 service in action merit), Y8 Devin Zhuang(1 service in action merit) Y10 Evie Chen (1 Leadership in Action merit) We’re very proud of the character developing in our young students here at Yew Wah!!

体育比赛

Sports Match

从第一学期开始,我们就要求在学校的体育比赛中要发挥创意。本周,Ali老师的中学部女生足球队与Ali老师的小学部男生足球队进行了一场练习赛。这是一次非常宝贵的经历,在比赛过程中我们可以看到球队中女生们的进步,也了解到我们在未来几周需要更加努力的地方。女生队下半场的表现有了很大的提高,学生Manjia Luo和Amy Pan的出色表现是她们队的一大亮点。


Jack老师带领的高中部女生篮球队将与女教师和职员们进行一场比赛。通常,当学生是一项运动的新手时,他们不喜欢在别人面前玩,因为这会使他们更加紧张。但是在这场比赛中,女学生们都感到很兴奋,并且很享受在耀华与员工们比赛的这个过程。


Gary老师和Tulio老师的初中部男学生足球队也在11月23日星期一与男教师进行比赛。这是一场很激烈的比赛,因为去年老师赢了第一场比赛,男学生队赢了第二场。男学生们真的很期待这场比赛,因为这是一个战胜老师的机会。对于男学生们来说,能战胜老师永远是一个值得骄傲的成就。


Bill老师的高中部男生篮球队和Ponch老师的排球队也准备在下一个阶段开始时与老师和教职员工进行一场比赛!虽然这和与另一所学校打比赛不一样,但这都将有助于我们为以后学校之间的比赛做好准备,同时它还可以使我们的学生和教师形成一个社区,从而更加紧密地联系在一起。

As we continue through semester 1, we have had to be creative with our sport competitions in our school. Mr. Ali’s Middle School Girls Football Team played a practice game against Mr. Ali’s Primary Boys Football Team. This was a really valuable experience to see the development of some of the girls in the team and also highlight areas that we need to work harder on in the coming weeks. A much improved second half performance from the girls team, with standout performances by Manjia and Amy being a highlight for their team.


Mr. Jack’s High School Girls Basketball Team played a game against female teachers and staff. Often when students are new to a sport, they do not like to play in front of other people as it makes them more nervous. But girls were all excited and have enjoyed their experience playing against the staff at Yew Wah. 


Mr. Gary and Mr. Tulio’s Boys Middle School Football team also played against male teachers on Monday 23rd November. This was a strongly fought game as last year, the teachers won the first game and the boys team won the second. The boys are really looking forward to the game with it being a chance to get a win over the teachers, always being a proud achievement.


Mr. Bill’s High School Boys Basketball Team and Mr. Ponch’s Volleyball team are also ready to play a game against the teachers and staff when the next block of time opens up! Although it is not the same as playing against another school, it will all help in preparation for when we do and it can bring our students and teachers closer together as a school community.

关于注意力不集中的问题

Attention and Distraction


问题:这个学生很容易分心;我的孩子无法集中注意和认真听讲。


看起来像:做白日梦,看向窗外,把玩桌子上的东西,自己在想心事,总是注意周围的无关动静


集中注意力困难:对某个活动不敢兴趣,不能摒除杂念,无法全神贯注听课,无法集中注意力开始做课堂任务/作业


课堂里的解决方法:优先座位(如离老师更近一些;安静的位置等),当完成任务或考试时使用工具挡住一些分心的东西(挡板或者耳机),交替进行有兴趣和低趣味性的课堂活动,即时反馈,课堂中给予1-2分钟的休息时间让学生在课室内舒展走动,分配一个班级工作让学生负责,小组活动包括视觉,听觉,还有需要肢体活动的多种学习方式,重新引导学生集中注意力而不是批评学生,用更简易的语言进行解释并使用非言语线索。


在家中的解决方法:帮助你的孩子创造没有杂念的环境,督促你的孩子开始去做作业,让你的孩子解释要做的作业,在监督下给孩子一些间歇的短暂休息时间,把需要花一定时间的功课划分成多个小的部分,至少每个星期和孩子整理一次书包,每天检查孩子的学生日记,轻轻触摸孩子的胳膊或肩膀让他们重新把注意力转回来,还有跟孩子一起讨论需要做什么才能进步与成功。

Problem: A student gets distracted easily; my child does not focus and listen attentively.


Looks Like: Daydreaming, looking out the window, playing with items on their desk, concentrate on their own inner thoughts and feelings, focused on irrelevant noises or other stimuli.


Obstacles to paying attention: An activity is not sufficiently interesting, inability to ignore distractions, listening attentively to lectures, and getting started on a task/homework.


Solutions for the classroom: Preferential seating, use distraction-blockers (i.e., dividers or earphones) during seat work and tests, try to alternate between high-and low-interest activities, provide immediate feedback, provide “brain breaks” during class time (e.g., 1-2 minutes to stretch or walk around the classroom), assign a classroom job, group work, include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles, redirect rather than criticize, use simpler language and use nonverbal cues.


Solutions for at home: help your child set-up a distraction-free environment, help your child start their homework, have your child explain what they need to do for their homework, supervise as needed, provide short breaks between assignments, break large assignments into smaller chunks, at least once per week sit with your child to clean out their backpack, check your child’s student diary daily, gently touching your child on their arm or shoulder can refocus their attention, and talk with your child about what they need to be successful.

住宿生英语歌唱比赛

English Singing Competition


广州耀华国际教育学校首届住宿生英语歌唱比赛于11月19日在学校体育馆顺利举行,这是首次在宿舍老师协助指导下,由住宿生委员会主办的宿舍大型文艺活动。


当晚的比赛分为小学部和中学部两个赛段,小学同学们稚嫩的歌声收获了不少孩子的欢呼和笑声,而中学部声情并茂的演唱更是引得同学们连连叫好,不由自主地鼓起掌来。整场比赛在节目的筛选编排、灯光的设计、工作人员的统筹分配等等,方方面面都倾注了住宿生委员们的努力与汗水,活动的顺畅进行则体现了住宿生委员会和宿舍老师之间的相辅相成,当晚现场热烈的掌声和呐喊更见证了本次活动深得住宿生们的喜爱。


首届住宿生英语歌唱比赛的顺利举行,是住宿生委员会成员们实践自己的想法、锻炼其领导力的宝贵经历。我们相信,在往后的活动中,住宿生委员们会在宿舍老师的带领下获得更多的成长,走得更远。

The first boarders’ English singing competition of Guangzhou Yew Wah International Education School was successfully held in the gym on November 19th. This is the first large-scale Residence Hall art event organized by The BOARDING COUNCIL under the guidance of the Residence Hall teachers.


The competition was divided into two parts: Primary and Secondary. The immature singing of the primary boarders has reaped the cheers and laughter of our kids, and the emotional singing of the secondary boarders caught our boarders’ eyes and won their praise. The preparation of this whole event, from the selection and arrangement of the program, the design of the lighting, the arrangement of personnel, all aspects were devoted to the efforts and sweat of The BOARDING COUNCIL members, and the smooth progress of the event reflects the complementarity between the boarding council and the Residence Hall teachers. The warm applause and shouts from the audience that night also testified that this event was deeply loved by boarding students.


The successful holding of the first English Singing Competition for Resident Students is a valuable experience for the council members, which also shows their excellent leadership. We believe that in future activities, The BOARDING COUNCIL members will grow more and go further with the help of the Residence Hall teachers.
