　　Dear primary school parents and families,

　　親愛的小學(xué)家長們，

　　Welcome to the primary school bulletin of Tianjin Haileybury International School. Each fortnight, a bulletin will be written which will report on the news and events within the primary school. There will also be a special focus on the English program in the bulletin as well. We have also welcomed many new Chinese and foreign teachers into the teaching team and they have already been warmly received by staff and students. This week we will report on some of the new international teachers who have just joined us. Firstly, Mr. Jason Swerdfeger joins us this year from Ottawa, Canada. He has been in China since 2002 and has stayed predominantly in north eastern China. His hobbies include cooking, traveling, judo and drinking tea. He has taught himself Chinese and is able to speak about 7 languages. Secondly, Ms. Paula Teran is a highly qualified professional teacher and joins us this year. She holds a Master’s in Applied Linguistics and a Master’s in Education (Secondary) from foreign universities. She has lived in America, France, Spain, the U.K and Germany. Her hobbies include fitness, dancing and badminton. This is her first time in China and she is excited to be here. We warmly welcome Jason and Paula this year and we trust that they will both have a productive and successful year here at Haileybury.

　　歡迎閱讀天津黑利伯瑞國際學(xué)校小學(xué)部校報(bào)。我們將每隔兩周寫一份公告，報(bào)告小學(xué)的新聞和事件。公告中也將特別關(guān)注英語課程。很高興今年我們小學(xué)迎來了很多學(xué)生，因此，為了滿足需求，也有許多新的中外優(yōu)秀教師加入到教學(xué)團(tuán)隊(duì)中，對此我們?nèi)�體師生都表示熱烈歡迎。本周我們將公布一些新外教的信息。首先是來自加拿大渥太華的Jason Swerdfeger先生，他自2002年來到中國，一直從事教育工作。他愛好烹飪、旅行、柔道和喝茶。他自學(xué)中文，能講7種語言。另一位是Ms Sanchez，她是一名高素質(zhì)的專業(yè)教師，取得了應(yīng)用語言學(xué)碩士學(xué)位和教育碩士學(xué)位。她曾在美國、法國、西班牙、英國和德國生活過，愛好健身、跳舞和羽毛球。這是她次來中國并且很高興來到這里。我們熱烈歡迎杰森和保拉在今年加入黑利伯瑞，相信他們會取得優(yōu)異滿意的成果。

　　At Haileybury, every child matters, every day. This means that we seek to cater to and respect the individual needs of every student at our school. In order to make this motto a reality, we have implemented policies and procedures across all subjects which are aimed at improving the educational outcomes of all of our students. These outcomes are holistic in nature as they focus not only on the test scores of individuals but also on the educational process in the classroom. The implementation of policies and procedures for the purpose of maintaining teaching and learning quality is seen in the Primary School English program. These policies and procedures can be broadly divided into Formative and Summative performance indicators. Formative performance indicators are process indicators such as student handwriting neatness, the utilisation of the Haileybury Teaching Model (I do, We do, You do), the giving of homework, student organisation and teaching formalities. Summative performance indicators show how successful a staff or student has been. Such indicators include student weekly test scores, the quality of homework submission, student behaviour in the classroom and parental feedback. This year we have also incorporated a new Cambridge textbook – Superminds which will used in upper primary. Superminds is a great textbook which has been specifically written to cater to primary school students who are learning English as their second language. We trust students will enjoy it and learn more English through this new textbook. We will also continue with the internationally recognised Cambridge exams this year which will be expanded to not only include the KET but also the PET exam in upper primary. At Haileybury, high standards have been set for the purpose of maintaining the quality of teaching and learning every day in the primary school.

　　在黑利伯瑞，每一個孩子的每都至關(guān)重要。這意味著我們力求滿足并尊重學(xué)校每個學(xué)生的個人需求。為實(shí)現(xiàn)這個承諾，我們推行了一系列全學(xué)科的教學(xué)政策和教學(xué)方法，旨在改善并提高我們?nèi)�體學(xué)生的教育質(zhì)量。我們?nèi)〉玫慕虒W(xué)成果在實(shí)質(zhì)上具有整體性，因?yàn)槲覀儾粌H關(guān)注每個學(xué)生的考試成績，同時也兼顧其課堂學(xué)習(xí)的過程。這些教學(xué)方法和教學(xué)步驟的有力實(shí)施是為了保證小學(xué)英語課程教與學(xué)的質(zhì)量。這些政策和方法可以大致分為形成性和總結(jié)性這兩項(xiàng)成績管理標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。形成性評價也就是過程管理評價，例如：學(xué)生書寫的整潔度，作業(yè)的提交，黑利伯瑞教學(xué)模式(我做，你做，大家做)的踐行。終結(jié)性評價是教師和學(xué)生成功的體現(xiàn)，包括周測成績，提交作業(yè)的質(zhì)量，學(xué)生在課堂的表現(xiàn)和家長的反饋。今年我們在低年級也使用了新的劍橋英語練習(xí)冊——Superminds。Superminds是一本很棒的教科書，是針對英語作為非母語的第二外語國家的孩子們編寫的。我們相信學(xué)生會喜歡它并通過這本新教科書學(xué)習(xí)到更多的英語。在小學(xué)部的低年級，我們將繼續(xù)使用國際認(rèn)可的劍橋英語考試，今年不僅只有KET(劍橋英語入門考試)還增加了PET(劍橋英語初級考試)。在黑利伯瑞，高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的建立都是為了保證小學(xué)部每教與學(xué)質(zhì)量的提高。

　　Cambridge’s Superminds is a new textbook which will be used in the primary school

　　Cambridge’s KET and PET are the benchmark exams for our sub-school’s graduating students

　　Year students Kevin, Bobby and Alex enjoy reading English books in the library

　　At Haileybury, we seek to provide our students with world-class opportunities which are not provided in other schools. Students can select programs such as golf, tennis, oil painting, violin, piano, guitar, performing arts, dance class, robotics, and Cambridge English classes. It is important to develop students who are able to excel in fields outside of the core subjects of English, maths and Chinese so that they can become well rounded individuals. For example, it is believed that learning piano or a musical instrument will help to speed up a child’s cognitive development. As, it is impossible to provide every single extra-curricular class, actual classes offered will depend on student demand in each category so if you want your child to participate in a particular extra-curricular activity, please enrol your child as soon as possible.

　　在黑利伯瑞，我們希望為我們的學(xué)生提供其他學(xué)校所沒有的世界一流課程。學(xué)生可以選擇高爾夫、網(wǎng)球、油畫、小提琴、鋼琴、吉他、表演藝術(shù)、舞蹈課、機(jī)器人和劍橋英語等課程。重要的是培養(yǎng)在英語，數(shù)學(xué)和中文核心科目以外的領(lǐng)域中，使他們能夠成為全面發(fā)展的個體。例如，學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴或樂器有助于加快兒童的認(rèn)知發(fā)展。但是，孩子的精力有限，因此，實(shí)際提供的課程將取決于每個的學(xué)生興趣愛好。所以，如果您想讓孩子參加課外活動課，請盡快給孩子報(bào)名。

　　今年我們有一個非常好的開始，我們希望繼續(xù)與你們攜手共進(jìn)，讓整個學(xué)年的教學(xué)和學(xué)習(xí)都有一個好的結(jié)果。如果您有任何疑問，請隨時與您孩子的班主任老師交流，或安排您與任課老師聯(lián)系。
