　　Dear primary school parents and families.

　　親愛的小學部家長們，

　　We have reached the half way mark of this first semester and what an amazing and exciting journey it has been! A parent-teacher meeting was held on the 25th of October. Parent teacher meetings are conducted in Australia and our parents were invited to speak to their homeroom teachers and their core subject teachers concerning the progress of their children. With the mid-semester exams and half of the semester completed, teachers were able to holistically convey student progress to parents. Teachers took the opportunity to show student work from assessments, exercise books and workbooks to parents. They also detailed to parents on how they can assist their children with their studies. Judging by the cordial and frank conversations which were had on the day, it is safe to say that many parents were very pleased with the progress of their children and by the education provided by the school. We will continue to listen to the suggestions and advice given by our parents, and we look forward to collaborating and cooperating with you to ensure that your child continues to improve every day.

　　Besides the regular English classes that our students receive each week, a new English teaching and learning initiative has been set up at Haileybury known as the English resource program. The program seeks to provide intensive English support to students so that more can be learnt in a shorter amount of time. Head of Junior school English, Ms. Cheryl Mckenna, is coordinating the program and Ms. Cara Suski and Ms. Sargsyan are the two English resource teachers in primary school. The program uses specially selected English materials and is taught in a small group arrangement to provide a greater amount of assistance to our students. The inaugural lesson occurred on the 14th of October. Our two teachers have commented that the students have responded positively and that they have been working hard in these first two weeks. At Haileybury, we are continually finding new ways to meet the individual needs of our students because every child matters every day.

　　我們的學生每周都有定期的英語課，此外，我們在黑利伯瑞建立了一個新的英語教學項目，稱為英語資源項目。該計劃旨在為學生們提供在英語方面的強化的支持，以便在更短的時間內(nèi)學習更多的英語知識。英語主任Cheryl Mckenna女士正在協(xié)調(diào)該項目，Cara 老師和 Olivia老師是小學的兩位英語資源老師。該課程采用精選的英語教材，并以小組形式授課，旨在為學生提供更多的幫助。節(jié)課于10月14日開始。我們的兩位老師反應(yīng)學生們表現(xiàn)積極，前兩周他們一直在努力學習。在黑利伯瑞，我們不斷地尋找新的方法來滿足學生的個人需求，因為每個孩子的每都很重要。

　　On Wednesday the 16th of October, the primary school participated in a whole school fire drill. Fire safety is something that we don’t often think about but being uninformed or ill-prepared can result in some very disastrous consequences. Fire disasters cause the deaths of many people every year. Moreover, many billions of yuan are lost due to fire damage each year. The whole school participated in this fire drill and it only took a short amount of time for the whole primary school to evacuate onto the school oval. It was pleasing to see many students taking the fire drill seriously as they were seen running to the evacuation spot in a brace position. We hope we never have to encounter a serious disaster at our school but with regular disaster prevention drills taking place at our school each year, we trust our school will be ready even when disaster strikes.

　　10月16日星期三，小學參加了全校的消防演習。消防安全是我們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中不�?jīng)�？紤]的事情，但如果不了解或準備不足，可能會造成非常災(zāi)難性的后果。火災(zāi)每年都會導(dǎo)致許多人死亡。此外，我國每年還因火災(zāi)損失數(shù)十億元。整個學校都參加了這次消防演習，整個小學部只花了很短的時間就疏散到學校的安全區(qū)域。很高興看到許多學生認真對待消防演習，因為他們聽到警報聲就以正確的自我保護姿勢迅速跑到安全區(qū)域。我們希望我們不會在學校經(jīng)歷嚴重的災(zāi)難，但是每年我們學校都會定期舉辦防災(zāi)講座和演習，我們相信我們的學校會在災(zāi)難發(fā)生時做好最充足的準備。

　　On the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of October, every primary school student participated in a physical examination which was held in the school gymnasium. ‘A healthy body is the capital for revolution’ is a well-known Chinese idiom. It speaks of the necessity of maintaining a healthy body as a prerequisite for accomplishing any meaningful work. Our students participated in various physical tests and measurements such as eyesight, height, weight, and lung capacity. At Haileybury, we believe maintaining a healthy body is critically important if students are going to excel in their academic studies. Results from the physical examinations will be available soon so please contact your homeroom teacher for more information.

　　10月22日星期二上午，我們所有的小學生都參加了在學校體育館舉行的體檢。俗話說，“身體是革命的本錢”，健康的身體是完成任何有意義工作的先決條件。我們的學生參加了多種的身體檢查，如視力、身高、體重和肺活量。在黑利伯瑞，我們認為，如果學生想在學業(yè)上取得優(yōu)異的成績，保持健康的身體是極其重要的。體檢結(jié)果將很快公布，所以如果您有需要，請聯(lián)系孩子的班主任。

　　We are excited to announce that students from Monash University will be coming to our school again this semester to complete their teaching practicums. Monash is one of the top eight universities in Australia and is ranked 58th in the world (QS World University Rankings, 2020). Monash university has over 50,000 full time students and the collaboration between Haileybury and Monash is reflective of the high level of interest Haileybury Tianjin has garnered in Australia as well as the elite partnerships Haileybury Tianjin has forged over the last six years (Haileybury Tianjin began in 2013). Haileybury teachers will once again have the privilege and share in the responsibility of mentoring and assessing some of the brightest and most talented university students from Australia. We will wish the student teachers every success when they embark on the exciting but also challenging task of imparting English language proficiency to Chinese students in China.

　　我們很高興地宣布，莫納什大學的學生這學期將再次來到我們的學校完成他們的教學實習。莫納什大學是澳大利亞排名前八的大學之一，世界排名是第58位(QS世界大學排名)。莫納什大學有超過五萬名全日制的學生。天津黑利伯瑞國際學校從建校起就引起澳大利亞教育界的高度重視并迅速建立起與其他學校的伙伴關(guān)系。天津黑利伯瑞國際學校的老師們將再次有幸并負責任地指導(dǎo)和評估這些最聰明和最有才華的澳大利亞大學生。我們祝愿實習老師一切順利，他們將開始一項令人興奮但又具有挑戰(zhàn)性的任務(wù)——如何教授中國學生英語。

　　Every child is unique, and every person has far-reaching potential. This week, Elsa Huang (3 Green) would like to share with everyone why she feels she is unique:

　　Hello, everyone. I'm Elsa Huang from the 3 Green class. I am a lively and cheerful girl. I have a lot of good friends and I like to play with them after school. I dare to try. I dare to challenge myself. I also have lots of interests. I like roller skating, horse riding, painting and fashion design. I feel brave when I ride horses and I love to draw. Look! I am pretty in the clothes that I have made. I believe that beautiful things will make our world better! At school, I am a good student and I care about my class. I always finish my work quickly and correctly. I love my class and I love to help my teachers!

　　每個孩子都是的，每個人都有無限的潛力。本周，黃怡寧(3 Green班)想和大家分享她為什么覺得自己是的。大家好，我是來自3 Green班的Elsa黃怡寧。

　　我是一個活潑開朗的女孩子。我有很多好朋友，放學后我最喜歡和他們一起開心地玩耍，快樂成長。

　　我興趣廣泛，勇于嘗試，敢于挑戰(zhàn)。我喜歡輪滑、馬術(shù)，還熱愛畫畫和服裝設(shè)計。騎起馬來，我英姿颯爽;畫起畫來，我認真仔細。看，穿上這身自己設(shè)計和制作的服裝，我更加自信美麗!我相信美的事物會讓我們的世界變得更美好!

　　在學校，我是一個認真學習有集體榮譽感和責任心的學生。我總是把作業(yè)完成的又快又好，而且積極負責班級的事務(wù)，是老師得力的小助手。
