Dear primary school parents and families.
亲爱的小学部家长们，
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.
家长会在十月二十五日举行。类似于澳大利亚的家长-教师会议的方式，家长们被邀请来学校，和班主任及主科老师谈谈他们孩子的进步。随着期中考试的结束和整个学期的过半，老师们借此机会从检测，练习本和练习册中向家长展示学生的学习情况。他们会详细地阐述他们如何帮助孩子们学习。从当天亲切坦率的谈话来看，可以肯定地说，许多家长对他们的孩子的进步和学校提供的教育感到非常满意。我们将继续听取家长们的建议，也期待着与您继续合作，让您的孩子每一天都有进步。

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.
我们的学生每周都有定期的英语课，此外，我们在黑利伯瑞建立了一个新的英语教学项目，称为英语资源项目。该计划旨在为学生们提供在英语方面的强化的支持，以便在更短的时间内学习更多的英语知识。英语主任Cheryl Mckenna女士正在协调该项目，Cara 老师和 Olivia老师是小学的两位英语资源老师。该课程采用精选的英语教材，并以小组形式授课，旨在为学生提供更多的帮助。第一节课于10月14日开始。我们的两位老师反应学生们表现积极，前两周他们一直在努力学习。在黑利伯瑞，我们不断地寻找新的方法来满足学生的个人需求，因为每个孩子的每一天都很重要。

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，小学参加了全校的消防演习。消防安全是我们日常生活中不经常考虑的事情，但如果不了解或准备不足，可能会造成非常灾难性的后果。火灾每年都会导致许多人死亡。此外，我国每年还因火灾损失数十亿元。整个学校都参加了这次消防演习，整个小学部只花了很短的时间就疏散到学校的安全区域。很高兴看到许多学生认真对待消防演习，因为他们听到警报声就以正确的自我保护姿势迅速跑到安全区域。我们希望我们不会在学校经历严重的灾难，但是每年我们学校都会定期举办防灾讲座和演习，我们相信我们的学校会在灾难发生时做好最充足的准备。

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，我们所有的小学生都参加了在学校体育馆举行的体检。俗话说，“身体是革命的本钱”，健康的身体是完成任何有意义工作的先决条件。我们的学生参加了多种的身体检查，如视力、身高、体重和肺活量。在黑利伯瑞，我们认为，如果学生想在学业上取得优异的成绩，保持健康的身体是极其重要的。体检结果将很快公布，所以如果您有需要，请联系孩子的班主任。

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.
我们很高兴地宣布，莫纳什大学的学生这学期将再次来到我们的学校完成他们的教学实习。莫纳什大学是澳大利亚排名前八的大学之一，世界排名是第58位(QS世界大学排名)。莫纳什大学有超过五万名全日制的学生。天津黑利伯瑞国际学校从建校起就引起澳大利亚教育界的高度重视并迅速建立起与其他著名学校的伙伴关系。天津黑利伯瑞国际学校的老师们将再次有幸并负责任地指导和评估这些最聪明和最有才华的澳大利亚大学生。我们祝愿实习老师一切顺利，他们将开始一项令人兴奋但又具有挑战性的任务——如何教授中国学生英语。

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!
每个孩子都是独一无二的，每个人都有无限的潜力。本周，黄怡宁(3 Green班)想和大家分享她为什么觉得自己是独一无二的。大家好，我是来自3 Green班的Elsa黄怡宁。
我是一个活泼开朗的女孩子。我有很多好朋友，放学后我最喜欢和他们一起开心地玩耍，快乐成长。
我兴趣广泛，勇于尝试，敢于挑战。我喜欢轮滑、马术，还热爱画画和服装设计。骑起马来，我英姿飒爽;画起画来，我认真仔细。看，穿上这身自己设计和制作的服装，我更加自信美丽!我相信美的事物会让我们的世界变得更美好!
在学校，我是一个认真学习有集体荣誉感和责任心的学生。我总是把作业完成的又快又好，而且积极负责班级的事务，是老师得力的小助手。
