校长的话
Message from the Principal
本周，初中部举行了为期四天的课程信息分享会, 九、十年级还邀请了家长们去学科教室体验学生的学习过程，相关老师为家长解答了具体问题。我们非常欣喜地看到家长们热情地参与此次课程分享会，并与学生共同体验学习的过程。
This week, junior high held four days of curriculum evenings. Parents of grades 9 and 10 were invited to visit the subject teachers’ classrooms to experience their students’ learning process and answer more specific questions. It was great to see parents enthusiastically participating in the sessions and experiencing the learning process with their students.
在学习中享受积极的情感体验，让学习变成个性化的过程，才能真正高效学习。一直致力于研究学习能力相关方面的美国智库高级研究员，乌尔里希·伯泽尔在其《有效学习》一书中与我们分享了关于有效学习的研究。
Enjoying positive emotional experiences and making learning a personalised process makes learning genuinely effective. Ulrich Boser, a senior researcher of the American think tank committed to studying the related aspects of learning ability, shared his research on effective learning with us in his book “Learn Better”.
01
学以致用 Learn to practise
动机是学习活动的终极动力，追求价值感是人类的本质特征，而学习活动就是思维活动。
Motivation is the ultimate motivation for learning activities, the pursuit of a sense of value is an essential human characteristic, and learning activities are thinking activities.
02
循序渐进 Step-by-Step
每个人都需要有目标导向的学习方法，有效学习需要具备基本技巧和专业技能。情绪体验对思维活动有着巨大的影响，因此我们需要保持积极的情绪状态。
Everyone needs a goal-oriented approach to learning, and effective learning requires basic skills and expertise. Emotional experiences significantly impact thinking activities, so we need to maintain a positive emotional state.
03
精益求精 Keep Improving
掌握专业技能需要使用正确的方法，学习的过程必须付出努力，正视错误，因为它是学习的最佳契机。
Mastering professional skills requires the use of the correct methods. The learning process must be a process of effort and confrontation of mistakes because it is the best learning opportunity.
04
格物致知 Knowledge acquired through experiential learning
学习是知识领域的不断深入和拓展，只有采用知用/行合一的学习方法，方可创造性助推知识的精进。
Knowledge acquired through experiential learning is the continuous deepening and expansion of the field of knowledge. Only by adopting a learning method that unites knowledge with application/action can we creatively contribute to the refinement of knowledge.
05
融会贯通 Integration and mastery
深入思考是学习过程的一个关键部分。将知识与技能联动运行，构建知识的深层体系并用之解决实际问题。
Deeper Thinking is a key part of the learning process. Linking knowledge and skills to build a more profound knowledge and use it to solve practical problems.
06
温故知新 Review the old and know the new
对学习内容时常进行回顾与反思是确保有效学习的思维方式。
Reviewing and reflecting on learning content from time to time is a way of thinking that ensures effective learning.
在这样的一个人工智能快速发展的时代，我们每个人都需要成为终身学习者，而我们每个人也都需要让有效学习成为自己的一种习惯。
In such an era of rapid development of AI, each of us needs to be a lifelong learner, and each of us needs to make effective learning a habit.
梅花报春息，瑞雪兆杭城。愿大家度过一个美好的周末。
Plum blossoms herald the rest of Spring, and auspicious snow omen is in Hangzhou. May you have a wonderful weekend.

Getting ahead
不少学生与家长对于大学升学志愿和将来计划从事的职业都有清晰的认知，也渴望能尽快朝着目标前进，但有时候却不知道该从哪里着手、如何准备。其实，我们要首先让学生尽情释放求知欲、真挚地热爱学习。同学们可以开始充分利用以下专为学生提供的丰富资源。
I have often met with pupils and parents who have a clear idea of each learner’s university aspirations and possible careers. They are eager to start the journey towards their goals as soon as possible but do not always know how and where to begin. A great way to start is to indulge your intellectual curiosity and love of learning. Then, pupils can start exploring all these fantastic resources available to young learners.
收听牛津大学播客（主题充满趣味，如科学世界里的优秀女性、生物伦理学、商业的未来等。）
Listen to University of Oxford podcasts (many interesting topics such as Inspiring Women in Science, Bioethics, the Future of Business and more)
观看Ted演讲 （ 听数百名优秀的演讲者分享观点，探讨从气候变化行动到心理学、再到科技的演变等等话题）

初中部的课程设置遵循中国国家课程标准和义务教育课程设置要求，同时引导孩子为未来申请世界名校做好基础准备。对家长而言，孩子的升学路径不同于他们自己的升学过程，有时未免会因此感到不安。为此，学校会及时分享孩子的课程设置。本周，在第二学期初始之际，我们有幸与家长们分享了七至九年级的核心学科课程信息，并召开了十年级家长会，希望进一步帮助家长了解学校的教学内容和方式，促进家校共同助力学生取得最佳成果。
The curriculum in Junior High ensures that we teach Chinese Compulsory Education and prepare and secure places in the top universities around the world. However, it can be a little daunting for parents to follow a path unfamiliar to their educational experiences. Therefore, we must share our curriculum journey with our school community. This week, we have enjoyed sharing our core subject curriculums for Grade 7-9 with our parents and pupils as we start our second semester and meet our parents and pupils of G10 for an additional Parent-Teacher Conference. Understanding what we teach and how we teach ensures that we work together to achieve the best outcomes for our pupils.
三月，初中部活动将精彩纷呈，职业周、科学周、π日活动、立院慈善周日、话剧音乐表演会等活动将陆续召开。我们会向您分享活动照片，也鼓励您在家与孩子一起聊聊这些活动。
We have a busy period with Careers Week, Science Week, Pi Day, Li House Charity Day, and Drama and Music Recitals throughout March. We look forward to sharing our photos with you and encourage you to discuss the events with your child.

本周，学校举行了本学期开学升旗仪式。在会上，学生们认真回顾并分享了上学期取得的各项成绩和进步，也深刻了解了奥林匹克运动会的体育精神。在冬季奥运会期间，北京迎来了全世界各地优秀的运动员们。运动会上，奥运健儿们充分展示了优秀的体育精神——团结。感谢中国为世界各国运动健儿们提供了展示舞台，冬奥会鼓舞了许多国家的人民。非常幸运的是，我们也正好身处此次盛会的主办国家，学生和家长在春节期间共同观看了这次体育盛会。
This week started with our pupils attending their first weekly flag-raising ceremony. Everyone looked smart and stood with respect as they celebrated the academic achievements of our pupils and reflected on the importance of the Olympic Games. The Beijing Winter Olympics welcomed talented international athletes and provided a platform to showcase the spirit of togetherness. It is thanks to China that the games lifted the hearts of many nations. Here in Hangzhou, we were fortunate to be in the host country with our families, sharing the spectacle during our New Year Holidays.
在惠立，运动能力和学术能力都是学校关注的重点。今年，我们实施了许多新举措来确保学生享有充足的学习机会。谈到团结，学生的成就往往需要团结整个社群的力量。老师和学生们充分配合、协作，以丰富学生的知识、提升学生的技能。
Sporting and academic achievement is a priority here in Hiba, and we have implemented many new processes this year to ensure that pupils are given every opportunity to succeed. In the spirit of togetherness, it takes a whole school community to provide pupils with the best education. Teachers collaborate, and pupils work together to develop their many skills and talents.
与此同时，三年级A班的学生在本学期的第一次学部集会上勇敢地做了展示。他们以“中国新年”为主题。在台上，学生们沉着自信地进行了一场主题鲜明的演讲。“中国新年”主题演讲之后，学生们对惠立价值观——尊重，进行了详细的阐述。3A学子充分展示了什么是好的行为习惯，什么是不好的行为习惯以及如何做好自己，践行尊重这一重要价值观。
Grade 3 were the first class to showcase their talents this week when they presented the first assembly of the semester. They welcomed all the new and existing pupils with a ‘Chinese New Year’s presentation. The children spoke with clarity and confidence. After this, there was a focus on the Hiba value of ‘Respect’. 3A confidently illustrated what constitutes good and bad manners and finished with a song.
本次活动对新学期的顺利开展做了良好的铺垫。学生们将学习变得更加独立并对自身周围的学习环境担负起责任。您可能会听到他们谈论“少先队员”、“班长”等词汇。我们希望学生们能培养良好的个人行为习惯，管理好自身学习物品。
It was a perfect introduction to the new semester as pupils have been asked to reflect on their independence and personal responsibilities regarding their learning environment. You may hear them talking about young pioneers, monitors and caring for their belongings as they develop good personal habits.
下周，我们将开始组织学生申报“少先队员”活动。学校始终对学生们保持高要求的行为准则。下周，学校也将迎来一年一度惠灵顿教育集团的学校年检，年检组成员将对学校教育、教学等各方面进行检查。我们坚信，每一个学生都会热情欢迎我们的访客，并向年检团队展示惠立价值观。郑校长和我都非常期待在下周陪同年检组成员进入班级进行课堂观察。
Next week, we will be selecting our ‘Pioneers’, and we will continue to focus on our high expectations, especially as we receive important visitors into school. Our guests will be inspecting our provision - this process is called an ‘Annual Review’. We are confident that everyone will welcome our visitors with kindness and show them that we know what respect means to people and our environment. Ms Zheng and I are looking forward to visiting classes to see how good our teaching and learning are.
祝大家周末愉快！
I wish you all a restful weekend.

身处惠立社群，我们在惠立课程框架内容的指导下开展教学，希望为每一位学生提供丰富多彩的、一以贯之的数学学习旅程，让学生在现阶段和未来更高阶段的数学学习中，快乐、从容且自信地学习数学。
Within our community and journey through the Hiba curriculum, we want our pupils to experience deep, sustained understanding to become happy and confident mathematicians throughout their learning and into their higher education and life.
在充满人文关怀和正能量的学习环境中，学生学习兴趣和热情高涨，学习数学的自信也与日俱增，学习潜能被不断地激发出来。项目式学习策略有助于培养学生勇于尝试、不怕犯错的态度，赋予学生充足的时间和丰富的资源深入开展数学学习。我坚信通过我们优质的数学教学，每个学生的数学能力都能得到提高。
We nurture confidence and a love of mathematics to enable every child to reach their full potential through a positive, caring environment inspired by our pupils’ fascinations and passions. Our project based learning allows us to promote a ‘can do attitude to maths without fear of making mistakes. Pupils are given time, support, and resources to develop a depth of understanding in maths because we believe that every child is entitled to an excellent mathematical education.
我们期望大多数学生以相似的进度完成数学学习。对于能快速掌握数学学习概念的学生，老师会布置具有一定难度的问题，随后有序开展下一阶段的数学学习；而对于未能快速充分消化学习概念的学生，老师会在开展下一阶段的教学前，额外布置合适的练习来巩固学生现阶段的学习。
The expectation is that most pupils will move through the programmes of study at broadly the same pace. At the same time, pupils who grasp concepts rapidly are challenged through being offered rich and sophisticated problems before any acceleration through new content. Those who are not yet sufficiently fluent with earlier material are given the opportunity to consolidate their understanding, including additional practise, before moving on.
在小学低年级部，除了每天的数学课外，在晨间课堂活动时间里，老师们也会为学生布置具有一定难度的数学学习任务。这是学校2021-22 学年针对数学学习实施的一项新举措，旨在培养学生扎实的数感，比如对数字的熟悉和运用能力。这些对学生未来的学习也将产生深远的影响，让学生们升入高年级时，有信心熟练运用数字、学习数学。
Teachers prepare daily challenges within our lower primary school during morning class activity time and their daily math lesson. It is a new initiative offered in 2021/22 for Excellence in the learning Mathematics. It aims to develop solid number sense, including fluency and flexibility with number facts, which will have a lasting impact on future learning for all children. The aim over time is that our pupils will leave our lower primary school with fluency in calculation, confidence and flexibility with numbers.

不知不觉中2022年已悄然过去了近两个月，不变的是惠立英语部依然是各项活动组织的中心。
With the first two months of 2022 having already almost passed us by, the Hiba English department continues to be a hub of activity.
首先，在这里要向本周参加课程信息分享会的家长和学生们致以深深的谢意。我们非常高兴能看到许多家长前来参加这次活动，了解到英文词汇量对学生学习的重要性。学校非常重视这次活动，以此来创造家校间深入对话的机会，让家长深入了解惠立课程，助力学校持续蓬勃发展。
Of most importance this week is sending a thank you to those parents and pupils who attended our curriculum evenings and PTCs. It was a pleasure to see so many arrive ready to share success stories and targets for future goals. The interactive nature of the curriculum evening presentations allowed parents to see how vital a growing vocabulary is. Events like these are significant; they create a dialogue between the school and parents, help the Hiba curriculum maintain its crucial impact and ensure the school community continues to thrive.
此外，英语俱乐部将继续于周一至周四在CG309室进行，为惠立学生提供安全、高效的学习空间。同学们还可以在周一的午餐时间参加Deacon老师引领组织的IGCSE英语预备课程。希望同学们可以充分利用这些绝佳的机会，在学校浸润式的英语学习环境中提升语言能力。
A quick reminder that English Club offers safe, productive spaces to work towards students’ goals. These take place in CG309 Monday through Thursday. In addition to these, they can also get excited about an IGCSE English Prep course led by Ms Deacon on Mondays during lunch in CG333. Students should take advantage of these fantastic opportunities to immerse themselves in the schools’ huge variety of supportive, nurturing atmospheres.
最后，二月份的“远离互联网”英语主题写作大赛即将截止投稿，请抓紧机会，发挥写作创造力吧。本次获奖者将获得科幻小说一套，并有机会在校园电台DukeBox上分享作品。此次写作大赛的体裁为议论文，有助于学生准备IGCSE英语考试，希望大家把握机会，享受英文学习快乐。
Finally, there is still time to enter your persuasive ‘Down with the internet’ articles. Winning writers will receive a bundle of science fiction novels and the opportunity to share their work on DukeBox. In addition, articles written in this style will help our pupils prepare for their IGCSE English examination task, which is an excellent way to have fun and practice in unison.

英国国家青年剧院院长保罗·罗斯比说，艺术对学术成就和个人发展至关重要，在学校里应该像体育和学术科目一样重要。根据世界经济论坛报告，创造力将成为就业市场上第三重要的技能。参加戏剧制作和表演的人都讲具备解决复杂问题的能力和批判性思维。杭州惠立学校开设优质的表演艺术课程和项目，让学生在各个年级都能锻炼上述技能。
Paul Roseby, director of the National Youth Theatre, says that arts are instrumental to academic achievement and personal development – and should be as important in schools as sport and academic subjects. According to the World Economic Forum, creativity will be the third most important skill in the jobs market. Complex problem solving and critical thinking are required for theatrical production or exhibitions. At Hiba Academy Hangzhou, we have an excellent performing arts curriculum and program that offer our pupils to experience these skills through all grades.
表演艺术（音乐、舞蹈和戏剧）的重要性体现在诸多方面。表演艺术课程所锻炼的技能有助于提高学生在数学、科学和语言等学术科目的学习表现。
There are many reasons behind the importance of performing arts (music, dance, and drama). These disciplines are essential to enhance learning academic subjects like Mathematics, Science, and language.
众所周知，音乐、舞蹈和戏剧的益处颇多，例如培养积极的学习状态、创造理想的氛围、建立期待感、改变脑波状态、集中注意力、提高注意力、改善记忆、促进多感官的学习体验、释放紧张情绪、增强想象力、发展融洽关系、提供灵感和动力。
Music, Dance and Drama helps children to establish a positive learning state, create the desired atmosphere, build a sense of anticipation, change brain wave states, focus concentration, increase attention, improve memory, facilitate a multisensory learning experience, release tension, enhance imagination, develop rapport, and provide inspiration and motivation.
本周，小学高年级部的同学们体验了集歌唱、朗诵、表演和武术于一体的京剧世界。我们邀请优秀的京剧专业人士来校，引导学生初步体验京剧这一博大精深的音乐和戏剧形式。在这场中国文化的交流中，我们度过了一段美妙的时光。
This week, our Upper Primary pupils experienced the world of Peking Opera, a performance art incorporating singing, reciting, acting, and martial arts. Outstanding professionals came to our school to provide a small experience of this vast world of music and drama. We had a terrific time connecting with our Chinese culture.
