Barbie participated in the Canadian Winter Camp of 2018, her first independent involvement within a foreign camp, and in doing so, proved a strong sense of bravery. She followed her teachers by participating in local ESL courses, along with various activities. Learning isn’t always easy, and she worked toward improvement, and applied herself accordingly, when removing herself away from her comfort zone.
Since the star of the semester, she’s shown great progress in her English verbal skills, and has successfully occupied the role of ‘Team Leader’ in her classroom. The study camp has equipped her with a strong sense of self belief, and believing in one’s self, means being brave enough to do so.

Luo Yule,a child empowered by curiosity and a desire to understand various cultures, enjoys reading books, which expand upon his existing general and geographical knowledge, along with the unique customs, the world has to offer. He enjoys documentaries which focus on the spheres of Science, as well as the rumblings of animals and their natural habitat.
He is quite fond of his foreign teacher, which motivates his interest in English. This salivating thirst, lead him to first place in the 11th National Kindergarten English Spoken Contest. This was achieved through cultivating a diversified form of education, prevalent in our kindergartens, which facilitated a greater understanding of different cultures. This in turn, expands horizons by learning to be equal, tolerant and respectful.

The earth’s resource is limited, and as the population grows, it’s crucial for us to be aware of the scarcity and lead a sustainable life style. In our home, we do our best to preserve the earth’s resources and protect the environment.
Carbon emission is probably one of the biggest concerns for environmentalists. Although inventions such as car and air conditioners provide people with lots of convenience, they consume large amounts of energy and emit pollution. To reduce the carbon print in our family, we often bike to destinations rather than driving. Thanks to the development of shared bicycles, we encourage our neighbors and friends to bike with us during weekend trips. We feel fortunate that we live in Guangzhou, which has rather developed public transportation; therefore, we often choose to take the bus or subway rather than driving. Moreover, when summer arrives, we reduce the use of air conditioner by using fan whenever the temperature is still bearable. Even if we need the air conditioner, we never set the temperature below 27 degrees.
Waste is also a huge issue in urban area. While plastic bags are cheap and convenient, they are hard to decompose and threaten the eco system. In our home, we have the habit of bringing our own Eco bags when going outside, so we hardly use any plastic bags in the past two years. What’s more, even though the water fee is not expensive, we save water as much as we can. As a huge fan of plants, our family has about ten different plants on the balcony. In order to save water, we always water the plants with water that was used to wash rice or vegetables when cooking. Also, we choose to take a shower rather than a bath to avoid wasting water.
地球资源有限,随着人口的增长,我们必须意识到资源的稀缺,并养成可持续的生活方式。在家中,我们尽可能地保护地球资源和环境。
碳排放是环保主义担心的头号问题。尽管汽车、空调给人们的生活带来了便利,但它们同时也消耗大量的能量、排放污染。为了节能减排,我们家人提倡绿色出行。共享单车的发展让我们鼓励更多邻居加入周末绿色出行。我们很庆幸生活在公共交通发达的广州,因此如果公交或地铁能满足我们需求,我们不开车。夏天我们尽可能地用风扇降温,减少使用空调。开空调的时候,我们也会将温度设定在环保温度27℃。
城市垃圾是另一环境问题。塑料袋既便宜又方便,但很难分解,也给环境造成巨大的威胁。我们一家人都习惯使用环保袋,过去的两年里,我们很少使用塑料袋。另外,虽然水费并不贵,但我们也尽可能地节约用水。作为花卉爱好者,我们家的阳台上种着十来种植物。为了节约水资源,我们会将洗米或洗菜水留下来浇花。平时我们还会用冲凉代替泡澡以避免浪费水。
Humility and Politeness谦逊和礼貌
Awarded to students who show good manners and consideration for others as well as to students who both win and lose with grace and humility. Students demonstrating behavior which shows an understanding of the right way to treat others and students who make a good personal impression upon the people they meet through positive demeanour.
该奖项将颁发给对人有礼貌,懂得为他人考虑,无论输赢都能保持优雅、谦卑姿态的学生。他(们)以恰当、积极的方式理解及对待他人,并给人留下良好印象。

陈珣熙 Sussie
广州市番禺区雅居乐加拿达中英文幼儿园Canadian International Kindergarten – Agile(CKE-AG)
Reason for Nomination
提名理由
Sussie有着圆圆的小脸蛋,面对别人时总是笑眯眯的。清晨,当她背书包走进教室你总会听到她甜甜的说一句:“Good morning”;不小心碰撞到同伴时,你总会见到她马上站好,说一句:“对不起”;若是有小朋友伤心了难过了,她总是第一个嘘寒问暖:“你怎么了?不哭了。”看到老师在使用剪刀,她会很认真的说道:“老师,你要小心点,不要剪到自己的手了。”
她还有很好的人缘,小朋友都争着要和她做朋友,她也总能让朋友满意,并且用轮流着玩,说服每天都想和她一起游戏的同伴。有她的地方,你总会听到小朋友叫:“Sussie,我们一起玩吧!”
Sussie is a gentle soul, with a smile as warm as the sun. Every morning, upon entering the classroom, we’re all greeted by the most melodious ‘’Good Morning!’’ It’s a wonderful way to begin the day. If Sussie accidentally bumps into someone, she immediately apologizes with the most sincere ‘’I’m so sorry’’. If she stumbles across a sad child, she’s always the first to ask ‘’What happened? Are you ok?’’ One day, Sussie noticed her teacher using a pair of scissors, and warned ‘’Please be careful, I don’t want you to cut your finger.’’ Sussie is very popular amongst her classmates, as she displays great levels of empathy to anyone with a ‘heartbeat’.

刘晓沐Alla
广州市增城区金地加拿达幼儿园Canadian Bilingual Kindergarten – Gemdale (CKE-ZC)
Reason for Nomination
提名理由
Alla是一个看着不起眼的小小只,一点也不妨碍他做一个喜欢奔跑,不断追逐的孩子。我们喜欢叫他奔跑的蜗牛。
从小,在爸爸妈妈“散养”的教育环境下,他喜欢在乡野的草地捉虫,在下过雨的泥坑里踩踏,在微风的海边逐浪。喜欢运动,却也是个过分谨慎的孩子。所以,从小开始让他骑平衡车。在下坡、转弯、飞驰的过程中,双脚离地,感受平衡,感受勇气带来的乐趣。Alla也因此开始喜欢上了踢球、滑冰等其他的运动。他不是天生的运动健将,能挑战自己我认为就是最棒的。
每个小男生内心都有一个英雄,Alla的英雄是美国队长和乐迪的综合体。他明白要当英雄,身体需要蔬菜肉来帮忙,喜欢胡萝卜青菜,也爱牛肉鱼汤。而他最喜欢嚼着菜嘎吱作响,炫耀他有一口坚硬的牙齿。
这个勇敢而乐观,柔软而坚韧的小小只,却有一身奋力向前跑的力量。
Alla is a small and inconspicuous boy, but it doesn't prevent him from being a child who likes to run and chase.
We like to call him a running snail.
Since childhood, on the background of freedom educational environment, he loves catching insects on grass, jumping in the mud after it rains, and running on the seaside with the breeze of the seawind.
He likes sports, but also he is an overcautious child. So, he began to ride a balance scooter when he was young. In the process of going downhill, turning, and reaching fast speeds, both feet leaving the ground, feeling the balance, and feeling the pleasure of his courage. And because of this, he likes football, skating and other sports.
He's not a natural athlete. I think it's the best to challenge himself.
Every little boy has a hero in his heart, and the hero of Alla is the combination of the American captain and Lodi. He knows to be a hero, the body needs to eat vegetable and meat. He loves carrots, vegetables, beef and fish soup. And the most he wants to show is that he chews the food and crunch with his hard teeth.
The brave and optimistic, soft and tough little boy, he has the strength to run forward.
