每周快讯 | The Week Ahead

阅读，犹如一场场奇妙的旅行，总能带给我们丰富的学习体验。本周学校迎来了文学周，本学年文学周的主题是“世界之外”。中小学部都开展了诸多与阅读、故事、对话、思考、未来等主题相关的文学周活动。我们期待通过这些活动在学生们心中播撒下了热爱文学的种子，也鼓励他们不断探索全新的阅读领域，为成长提供动力与养分。

Reading is like a wonderful journey that always brings us rich experiences. This week, the school celebrated Literacy Week. The theme this year was 'Out of this World'. Both the Primary and Junior High had many activities related to reading, storytelling, dialogue, reflection, and the future. We look forward to sowing the seeds of a love of literature in our pupils' minds through these activities and encouraging them to explore new areas of reading to provide motivation and nourishment for growth.

本周五为地球日，保护地球，惠立学子在行动。惠立环保慈善跳蚤市场在本周如期举行，初中部多个班级也自发成立了小型乐队进行表演筹集善款。本次活动筹集的所有善款将用于内蒙古植树造林项目。环保慈善委员会有望筹得足够善款在内蒙古种植一片“惠立森林”。在之前的每周快讯中，我跟大家多次分享过大学招生官在学生申请文书以及面试中非常重视学生的优秀品质，如责任意识与利他精神。惠立学子们通过这几周的行动践行着承担社会责任，为他人和社区服务的精神，我们以他们为荣。

Today is Earth Day. To protect the earth, Hiba pupils are taking action. The Hiba Green Flea Market was held this week. Several junior high classes spontaneously set up a small band to perform and raise funds. All the money raised in this activity will be used for afforestation projects in Inner Mongolia. The Environmental Charity Committee is expected to raise enough money to plant a "Hiba Forest" in Inner Mongolia. In the previous week ahead, I shared with you that university admissions officers pay great attention to pupils’ moral spirits, such as being responsible and altruistic, when checking pupils' application documents and during the interviews. We are proud of our pupils who have practised the spirit of taking responsibility and serving others and the community through their actions in recent weeks. 

本周我们还将举行家长会，相信家长们已经和您孩子的各科老师们约好了会谈时间。建议家长们先与孩子就最近的学习与成长进行交流，从孩子的视角了解他/她的进步以及仍需努力的领域，这也将是您参与、支持孩子成长非常好的契机与方式。家长会当天，家长可以带着相关信息与老师进行深入沟通，从而切实提升家长会的针对性与有效性。

We also have Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTC) this week, and I'm sure parents have already made appointments with their child's teachers for each subject. It is recommended that parents talk with their children about their recent learning and growth and learn from their child's perspective about their progress and areas that need to be developed. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to participate and support your child's growth. On the day of PTC, parents can bring relevant information to the teacher for in-depth communication, thus effectively enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of the PTC.

向惠立社群致以诚挚的问候。

Sincere greetings to Hiba Community.

双语文学周作为我校一直以来的亮点特色校园活动，旨在展现惠立学生对中英双语学习的热爱。文学周期间，初中部学生参与了一系列戏剧表演、阅读比赛、配音比赛等活动。周四，同学们把自己精心装扮成喜爱的书中人物来到学校，展现出对文学的热爱，让我们感到非常高兴。

Our bilingual literacy week is an integral part of our annual calendar, celebrating a love of both key languages in our school.  Pupils have participated in drama performances, read anywhere competitions, reading outside, dubbing competitions and a readathon.  Pupils have arrived to school on Thursday display a wide variety of book character dress up choices and it is wonderful to see them engaging in celebrating a love of all things literature based.

下周，惠立初中部将召开年度学院歌唱比赛，期待我们各个学院的出色表现。

Next week Junior High are hosting our annual house singing event.  We look forward to listening and watching the phenomenal performances from our five houses.

在惠立，我们一直在思考一个问题，学校要把学生培养成什么样的人呢？除了卓越的学术成绩之外，我们希望学生毕业之后能继续以勇气、善良、尊重、正直、责任等惠立价值观来指引自己的言行， 同时追寻有目标和意义的人生，寻找和发现美好的事物，致力于改善公共利益。

At Hiba, we have always been thinking about one question: what kind of people do we want our pupils to be in addition to academic excellence? We hope that our pupils will continue to use Hiba values--Courage, Kindness, Respect, Integrity and Responsibility to monitor their behaviours after graduation while pursuing a life of purpose and meaning, seeking and discovering beautiful things and committing themselves to improve public benefits.

青蓝计划的发起就是为了更好的引导学生走出舒适区，承担更多的责任，为所处社区带来更多的积极影响。我特别欣喜的看到，青蓝计划的学生在导师的引领下开始积极寻求自我突破，对校园生活中的各类问题进行深入思考，结合自身的兴趣爱好和能力特点创造性地试着解决问题。 其中一位学生因为他非常喜爱著名的Roald Dahl系列图书，提出了建立一个由他组织的学生Roald Dahl Reading Club， 目的是为了让更多的同学爱上阅读，提升英语学习。大家通过共读同一本书，分享观点和阅读乐趣，从而帮助本班和同年级同学建立良好的阅读氛围。通过自己对阅读的热爱去带动其他同学的阅读兴趣，这位学生走出了舒适区，提升了自己的领导力，更为惠立社群的积极发展迈出了一大步。

The mentoring program was launched to positively guide pupils to walk out of their comfort zone, take on more responsibilities and bring more positive impacts to the communities in which they live. I am delighted to see that under the guidance of their mentors, the pupils of the mentoring program have begun to seek self-breakthroughs actively, have in-depth thoughts on various problems on campus and creatively solve problems based on their expertise and abilities. For example, one of the pupils proposed organising and leading a Roald Dahl Reading Club. He loves the famous Roald Dahl books. He aims to get more pupils to fall in love with reading and improve their English learning. By reading the same book together, pupils can share opinions and the fun reading. Therefore, they can create a good reading atmosphere in their class and across the year group level. He stepped out of his comfort zone while attracting more pupils to join the reading club by sharing his love of reading. After this, his leadership skills will be significantly improved. He has also contributed a big part to the positive development of the Hiba community.

我们始终关注惠立学子在学业成绩之外的全面发展，包括高尚品德、友善待人、领导力、潜能与影响他人的榜样力量。

We have always focused on the overall development of Hiba pupils besides their academic attainments, including high moral standards, kindness, leadership, learning potential and role modelling power.

受疫情防控相关措施影响，各主客场体育竞赛尚不能开展。尽管如此，同学们依然努力训练，期待着未来的运动赛事。

Unfortunately, we have been unable to host or travel to competitive fixtures due to restrictions. Although this is the case, our teams continue to train extremely hard within practices until competitive fixtures continue. 

六月，我们将召开体育颁奖典礼，这是一场庆祝这一学年里同学们在体育运动方面所取得的优良成绩的活动。

The sports awards presentations will take place in June. We look forward to celebrating sporting success from this academic year.

第二届“课程拓展日”于本周四、周五召开。初中部学生借此机会参与到影片制作中，充分发挥艺术、戏剧、音乐和信息通讯技术课程中所学的技能。

Our second "Curriculum Enrichment Days" took place on Thursday and Friday this week. The Junior High pupils had the opportunity to work in film making and used skills and tools from the fields of Art, Drama, Music, and ICT.

本届“课程拓展日”由艺术、戏剧、音乐和信息通讯技术教研组组长主导，并得到了初中部教职员工团队的全力支持。老师和同学们一同拓展课程所学，遵循国家义务教育课程大纲要求，分组开展活动，通过创意小组为一位名人制作了传记影片。

The Curriculum Enrichment Days were led by the heads of departments from Art, Drama, Music, and ICT and fully supported by the Junior High staff members. Teachers and pupils worked on enriching the curriculum while meeting Chinese national curriculum requirements by working in creative teams.  

同学们担任起导演、编剧、艺术家、音响设计、配音演员等角色。期待着尽快与大家分享这场精彩的课程拓展日活动。

The pupils were directors, editors, artists, sound designers and voice actors. We are looking forward to sharing the product of this fantastic project very soon.
