  June 5 is designated by the United Nations as World Environment Day. This is an opportunity for us to raise awareness for the community and take active actions to protect our environment. Environmental protection is a long journey which cannot be done within one or two days. It requires us to have responsibility, patience and especially understanding so that we can act properly to the surrounding environment. How can parents help children understand more about environmental protection and encourage them to take good actions towards sustainability? Let’s have a look at following suggestions from the US Environmental organization (Environment America). 1. LEARN ABOUT PLANTS – Explore interesting information about the Earth, plants and animals and their current status through books, television and Youtube videos; – The whole family can create beautìul pictures with dried leaves and flowers; – Take advantage of the balcony (for high-rise buildings and apartments) and the open space (for ordinary houses) to plant a small garden of lovely flowers and trees; – Play games to learn the origin of the foods we eat every day and how they are cultivated and harvested. 2. LEARN ABOUT WATERWAYS, PARKS AND CONSERVATION The water, air and land environments are factors that need to be nurtured and preserved. Parents and childredn can research on many issues such as: – Learn about the system of rivers, lakes, canals and canals in the neighborhood; – Learn about water pollution and some ways to reduce it; – Explore the role of parks, forests and tree planting in reducing air pollution and flooding; – Learn about the role of natural reservation; – Learn about types of soil in nature and their current condition. 3. LEARN ABOUT WAYS TO REDUCE WASTE Waste is one of the most urgent problems that need to be solved

  Nowadays, with the development of technology, we are familiar with convenient applications on smart phones. However, is the idea generation and development of such applications possible for our students? Let’s join the English lesson of Class 6.3 to see how they generated innovative ideas! By actively researching, thinking, UTS-ers suggested many modern as well as familiar ideas for applications such as homework solving app, fashion consulting and direct purchasing app, or lego assembling instruction app, etc. These rough ideas were just express on the paper, but students showed their dedication in planning detailed operation way, interface design or distribution on online app platform. Moreover, all contents in these applications were built in English, aiming to develop them on a global scale. Hope that UTS-ers will always maintain the creative energy and make these interesting ideas become real in the near future!

Today, 4th of March, activities of “World Book Day 2021” is happening in UK, Ireland and Wales. At this special occasion, kids in these countries are given discount coupon to buy books, which encourages them to read and share the reading hobby to each other. In Vietnam, reading habit is not very popular in society. According to the statistical data from 2017 to 2019 of Vietnam Department of Publication, on average, each Vietnamese only reads 1 book per year. This figure is not worth good values that books bring to us: According to researchers of University of Sussex, with just 6 minutes reading per day, we can reduce 68% of stress. While reading books, we only focus on useful knowledge. The stressful issues will be temporarily forgotten so that we can replenish positive energy. Researches have shown that reading help brain improve memory. While reading, we need to see through and remember chain of data, plot or important information. It creates remembering habit for readers. The more we read, the better our memory improves. Reading book is a healthy entertainment activity which brings to us many benefits. However, Parents and students shall notice these advices when reading books: – Choose good books which are suitable for students’ ages and thinking skills. – Safe distances for reading books are 30 – 45 cm (adults) and 20 – 25 cm (kids). – Read books at comfortable and good lighting places. Hereunder are meaningful and appropriate books for ages and thinking skills of kids: 1. Sans famille (Without Family) – Hector Malot 2. Coure – Edomondo De Amicis 3. A Wrinkle in Time – Madeleine L’Engle 4. Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window – Tetsuko Kuroyanagi 5. Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carrol 6. Charlie và the Chocolate Factory – Roald Dahl

  Parents always seem to want their children to get high scores, develop well to become the best they can be at school. But in fact, improving themselves every day is the most necessary thing to help your child have enough experiences to step firmly in the future. Children not only need to be educated with academic knowledge but also need to have skills in self-development and unleashing their potential. From an early age, parents can help their children improve themselves from the following simple things: 1. Let children face up and solve their own problems. Not only adults, but children also face many problems every day, from difficulties in the learning process, pressure on grades, relationships with teachers and friends, physical health and mental health, etc. But not all children have enough skill or confidence to solve their problems. If not guided by parents, children will become timid, thereby choosing to run away instead of facing and solving each problem. This is also the reason why many children have a lot of trouble in school as well as in their life. Children who lack problem-solving skills tend to lack careful thinking in everything and are not oriented to what they should do. Therefore, teaching children to face problems and solve them will help them be more active in life, improve logical and critical thinking. When a specific problem occurs, parents should not help children do it right away. Instead, let your child analyze and define the problem. Parents can still be available to guide children when they need support, but it is still a priority to encourage children to solve their own problems first. If your child is having trouble with giving solutions, parents can sit down with children to discuss what should be done to be effective, so

  New year is coming and it’s time to use table calendars to remind of important milestones of a year ahead. With the 2021 Tet holiday, instead of buying table calendars at bookstores, students of Grade 7 & 8 of UTS could create their own table calendars of the new year. By their creativity, UTS-ers built ideas, divided tasks, drew and painted lovely table calendars in various concepts: the Zodiac, traditional Tet holiday, animation, etc. These table calendars may not be the most gorgeous ones but they marked the eternal creativity of our UTS-ers. The table calendars will be exhibited in a small area of UTS which contributes more colors to the Tet space there. Let’s have a look at lovely table calendars of our students!
