In the morning of December 1st, many “little dinosaurs” gathered at YCCECE Tin Wan Campus waiting for the Dinosaur Charity Run 2024 to start off. This is the third time YCCECE hosted this annual flagship fundraising event to raise funds for YCCECE scholarships. We successfully raised near HKD 1 million with special thanks to donors who sponsored packages for needed families to participate this meaningful event.  

 

Nearly 400 participants joined, which was twice as many as last year.  Dinosaur Run, for the third year running, continued to be the most favourite activity among families this year. Our Yew Chung Leaders also ran to raise funds for YCCECE on the day. Support them and the College by donating here! Top twelve children runners of the day were awarded a YCYW limited edition Monopoly board game.  Many other “little dinosaurs” also overachieved and completed all 15 dino-themed challenges and received dinosaur golden medal to became Dinosaur Experts of the Year. ​​

 

Our theme for the event is “Explore the World of Greenery with Fun”. The Green board games booth ran by current YCCECE students were popular among young kids. One of the boardgames were published by YCCECE students and sponsored by CLP which inspired children how to reduce waste, conserve energy and save the Earth. CLP also attended the event, the CLP Green Studio bus showed a video to the kids with a 3D adventure experience to save the world through sustainable acts, and the CLP Carbon Reduction Game booth encouraged children to actively reduce carbon usage in daily life. 

 

YCCECE students also ran the Lego dinosaur corner where our College lecturer was able to give tips to parents about how to educate a child who learns better with hands on skills. In another corner, an artistic talented YCCECE student painted unique dinosaur rider portraits for the kids. The alumni booth, "Love Shows, Love Grows," featured two exciting elements. The first element invited participating children to use various art tools to express their creativity around the concept of love. The second element involved selling planting kits, encouraging kids to take care of plants by sowing seeds, watering, and nurturing them. This initiative aimed to cultivate kindness in the children while also raising funds for scholarships. 

 

The College also hosted booths by our lecturers and research project teams. The library featured the Readosaurus Readathon, where our College borrowed numerous dinosaur picture books on show for the children to learn how to read for fun while enjoying face paint. The Mengxue Institute offered two shows on “Three Little Pigs” shadow puppets and “The 13th Chinese Zodiac” Show to experience traditional Chinese cultural shows. The Coolplay team offered Dino STEM Fossil Dig for children to learn how have a taster being an archaeologist excavating fossils.  

 

We are also grateful for our event partners support, such as Venture Studios offered a photo booth for families to dress up as dinosaurs and take a memorable family portrait, we are also grateful for their donation proceeds that goes to the College supporting our great cause. Another highlight is Ivan Gor Gor Exotic Animals Experience where families were able to handle and interact with real reptiles, e.g. snakes, lizards, turtles, etc. Supported by our Lecturers, the Playhouse offered six art-creation dinosaur themed games for the participants to unleash their artistic creativity. 

 

We worked with Carbon Linking to create an app game for the event that educated children about low-carbon lifestyles through technology and play. The “Dinotopia Adventure” game invited families and children to explore each booth while embarking on a mission to save the Dino Friends and restore the Crystal of Green Balance. Families shared countless happy memories in the app, filing it with heartwarming posts that showcased their excitement and engagement across the YCCECE booths. The first ten families to complete the app game rescue received a dinosaur stamp cover published by HK Post.  

 

Mrs Kiki Yeung, mother of a 4-year-old boy, said "My family attended the YCCECE Dinosaur Charity Run 2024, the meaningful event was full of educational games spread over the entire College supported by the students and professors. While my child was building a Lego dinosaur in one of the booths, I shared with the YCCECE Lecturer that my son struggles with homework but is good with building things. The Lecturer explained that there are different types of learners, and my son seems to learn better in handicrafts so we should structure his learning in hands-on way. I am so grateful of this new perspective and tips on how to better educate my child." 

 

Ms Winnie Ho, Director of Institutional Advancement & Marketing, said “Through our collective efforts, we have successfully raised nearly HKD 1 million, which will be going towards addressing the crucial scholarship and bursary needs of our students. Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for the unwavering generosity and steadfast commitment of our participants, individual donors, and corporate sponsors to our cause.” 

  

We sincerely invite you to continue supporting our mission as we are committed to pursuing excellence in education and nurturing future teachers and leaders. Thank you once again for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at our future events!

一群「小恐龍」於上周日大清早聚集田灣校舍參加學院再次舉辦的「恐龍慈善跑2024」！這個以恐龍為主題，為資助耀中幼教學院老師學費的籌款活動已步入第三年，特別感謝捐助者對有需要參與這活動的家庭作出捐助，我們已成功籌集近一百萬元的籌款目標。 

 

今年有接近400大人和小朋友參加，超出去年參加者人數的兩倍。已是第三年舉辦的恐龍跑仍然廣受各家庭歡迎，當天，我們的領袖們通過跑步為學院籌款。請按此捐款，立即支持他們和學院吧！最快完成賽跑的前十二名小朋友參賽者獲得了耀中耀華大富翁桌游特別版一盒。除此以外，我們的一群「小恐龍」大部分都超標完成當天十五個恐龍挑戰，領取恐龍金牌成爲本年度的恐龍專家。 

 

今年的活動主題是“智探趣尋綠色生活”。由耀中幼教學院學生帶領的綠色棋盤區域廣受小朋友歡迎，包括由中電贊助的棋盤游戲中學習關於減碳、節能、幫助拯救地球的知識，其中也有由我們學院學生設計的綠色棋盤游戲。這次，我們很榮幸邀請到中電來臨耀中幼教學院，透過流動工作室向孩子們展示了一段3D冒險體驗的影片，通過可持續行動來拯救世界，而中電減碳遊戲攤位則鼓勵孩子們在日常生活中積極減少碳排放。 

 

我們優秀的耀中幼教學院學生也有領導進行其他攤位。在師生帶領下的“恐龍樂高建造樂園”，老師在游戲中啓發了參與的家長如何教育比較擅長動手學習的孩子。在“個人恐龍肖像”活動攤位,以為美術學美術學科的學生展示了他們在油畫美術的獨特風格，吸引了很多小朋友來參與。由校友會領導的攤位題爲“顯愛心+種愛心”，活動包含兩個令人興奮的元素。第一個元素是邀請小朋友利用現場提供的美術工具運用創作力表達他們對愛的概念。第二個元素是把購買的種植套件帶回家，鼓勵小朋友在家通過播種、澆水和培育來愛護植物。這活動旨在培養孩子們有善良的心，同時也為獎學金籌集資金。 

 

學院還設置了由我們的學院講師和研究項目團隊領導的攤位。我們的圖書館再次舉辦“閱讀龍馬拉松”，展示了許多恐龍圖書，讓孩子們在享受臉部彩繪的同時，也學習如何有趣地閱讀。我們的蒙學苑還提供了兩場中國文化表演，分別是“三隻小豬”皮影戲和“第十三隻生肖”表演。Coolplay 團隊設計的恐龍STEM化石挖掘活動，讓孩子們體驗考古學家挖掘化石的樂趣。 

 

學院也很感恩我們活動伙伴的參與，例如Venture Studios 的照相棚，讓家庭成員打扮成恐龍，拍攝難忘的家庭照片，也感謝他們全數把當天收益捐贈學院。另一個亮點是 Ivan 哥哥自然會客室動物體驗，參與的家庭可以接觸真的爬行動物，例如蛇、蜥蜴、烏龜等與它們互動。在我們學院講師的協助下，Playhouse 也設計了六個以恐龍為主題的藝術創作遊戲，讓參加者釋放他們的藝術創造力。  

 

我們與 Carbon Linking 合作，為活動創建了一個應用遊戲，通過技術和遊戲教育孩子們低碳生活方式。“恐龍大冒險”遊戲邀請參與家庭和小朋友探索每個活動攤位，同時展開拯救恐龍朋友和恢復綠色平衡水晶的任務。各個家庭在應用游戲中與我們分享了他們無數快樂的回憶和帖子，充分展示他們在學院的興奮和投入。前十名完成應用遊戲的家庭獲得由香港郵政發行的恐龍郵票封。 

 

一位四歲男孩的母親楊女士說：「我和兒子最近參加了 2024 年 YCCECE 恐龍慈善跑步活動，當天活動遍布整個學院，特別為小孩子而設計，由資深老師和學院學生和小孩互動，所有游戲都別具教育意義。當我的孩子在其中一個攤位搭建恐龍樂高時，我與 YCCECE 的老師分享了我因為兒子做作業遇到很多困難而帶來的苦惱，但老師反而指出兒子在搭建模型很有天賦是很好的學習基礎。老師解釋說，不同的孩子有不同的學習方式，兒子似乎在手工學習方面有天賦，所以我們應該以動手實踐這個模式結合他的學習。我非常感激老師提示我這新觀點和為我如何更好教育孩子作出了很好的建議。」 

 

學院及市場拓展總監何靜儀表示：「大家齊心合力成功籌集了近 100 萬港幣，這些善款將用於學院需求，提供獎學金和助學金給有需要的學生。我們再次衷心感謝參加者、個人捐款者及機構贊助的慷慨支持及認可我們學院的理念。」 

 

我們誠摯地邀請您繼續支持我們的使命，因為我們致力於追求教育卓越，培養未來幼教師和領導者。 再次感謝您的支持，我們期待在未來的活動中見到您！
