每周快讯 | The Week Ahead

相信您和家人一起度过了一个温馨愉悦的劳动节假期。假期中，我与友人相约一起远足。登高后，欣赏着“水光潋滟晴方好, 山色空蒙雨亦奇” 的杭州春日胜景，想着在上海居家隔离的家人与朋友，愈发珍惜与感恩。我也希望惠立社群的所有成员都能时时体味生命中的美好，即使有时我们身处逆境。期盼疫情早日结束，生活恢复如常。

I believe you and your family had a warm and pleasant May Day holiday. During the holiday, I went hiking with my friends. After climbing the mountain, I admired the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou in spring, where “the water is brimming with sunshine, and the mountains are covered with rain”, and thought of my family and friends in isolation in Shanghai. I hope that all members of the Hiba Community can appreciate the beauty of life at all times, even when we are in the midst of adversity. I hope the epidemic will soon be over, and life will return to normal.

本周，惠灵顿杭州校区高一（十年级及Pre A）学生已经正式开始了IGCSE考试，他们是惠灵顿杭州校区首届参加IGCSE考试的学生，我们期待着他们在考试中都能取得优异的成绩，为自己的努力付出收获阶段性的成果。

This week, the Grade 10 pupils of Hiba Academy Hangzhou and the Pre A-Level pupils of Wellington College Hangzhou officially started their IGCSE examination. They are the first pupils to participate in IGCSE in Wellington College Hangzhou. We look forward to their excellent results in the examination, pay for their efforts and reap phased results.

上周，我与惠立之友（FOH）的联合主席鲁女士及孙先生进行了沟通，因为疫情防控政策，非常遗憾今年仍不能组织年度惠立晚宴活动，FOH将以其他方式向家长代表以及学校教职员工们致以谢意，敬请期待。

Last week, I had a meeting with Ms. Lu and Mr. Sun, Co-Chairs of Friends of Hiba (FOH). Although we will unfortunately not be able to organise the Annual Ball this year due to the epidemic prevention and control policy, FOH will thank parent representatives and school staff in a number of other ways, so stay tuned.

祝您和家人周末愉快。

Have a great weekend.

为让孩子实现优异的学业表现，为出国留学做好准备，这就要让孩子树立起清晰明确的个人目标。长期目标意识的建立能为孩子成长提供一条清晰的路径，让孩子即使在身处困境时，也能不断地昂首前进。要端正孩子们的学习态度，需要让他们理解学习的初衷是什么。在孩子的初中阶段，我们要与多与他们交流，一同畅谈未来，帮助他们设定清晰而可实现的目标。以下这些建议对于如何与青少年进行有效地沟通十分重要，可以很好地帮助他们保持对于学习的积极性：

To prepare a pupil for academic success and their future studies abroad, we need to ensure that they keep their goals in sight. A pupil’s awareness of their long term goal provides a clear pathway and motivates them to keep going even when they face challenges. If we want our pupils to have a good learning attitude, they need to understand the purpose of learning. In Junior High, we ask parents to communicate with their children. Talk openly about the future and set clear, measurable and achievable goals. Here are Junior High’s top tips for effective communication with your teenager to ensure that they maintain motivation in their attitude to learning:

线上家长会后，惠立小学部高年级的同学们总结了上一阶段的学习与生活，带着饱满的热情重返校园。在这个月里，他们将迎来一系列丰富的活动。

After the online parent-teacher conference, Hiba upper primary pupils actively reflected on their previous learning and returned to school with great enthusiasm. Our pupils will celebrate multiple festivals in the upcoming month and join various activities.

劳动节 Labour Day

五月伊始，劳动节不仅带给我们小长假，更让我们重温“劳动”的意义。在惠立小学，许多同学承担了力所能及的“劳动”：班级代表每周巡查卫生情况，六年级的同学值班维持午餐秩序，每班都设有图书管理员、领队员……他们肩负责任，辛勤劳动，相信岁月不负耕耘，努力必有回响！

At the beginning of May, we enjoyed the Labour Day holiday and reflected on the meaning of “work”. In upper primary, many pupils have shared the responsibilities by “working”: class representatives monitor the class environment weekly, G6 pupils take turns to remind the canteen manners, each class has a class librarian, class lead…They take responsibility and work hard. We believe their hard work will reward them one day.

母亲节 Mother’s Day

母亲节即将来临，不知同学们是否为辛苦了一年的母亲准备了小礼物，由衷地说一句“妈妈，您辛苦了”，背诵《游子吟》，或吟唱《萱草花》等等。希望同学们都能铭记母亲之恩，并以实际行动让真挚的情感生根开花。

Mother’s Day is approaching. I wonder whether the pupils have prepared a gift for their mother who is always working hard and whether they will say “thank you, mum”, recite “A Traveler’s Song” or sing “Day Lily” to their mother? I hope that our pupils can always show gratitude to their mother and establish a good relationship with their mother.

六一儿童节 Children’s Day

六一国际儿童节是全世界儿童的节日，其创设初衷是为了争取儿童生存、健康和受教育的权利而斗争。惠立小学部正积极酝酿筹备着儿童节的大型活动，一方面让同学们欢度节日，劳逸结合；另一方面也为了培养同学们为社群作出积极贡献的利他精神，培养有担当，有社会责任感的未来公民。望家长们积极与家委会成员们联系，踊跃报名参与活动的策划和举办。

International Children’s Day is a festival for children all over the world. Its original intention was to fight for children’s rights to survival, health and education. Hiba Primary is actively planning a large-scale event for Children’s Day. It will allow our pupils to celebrate the festival and have a rest after their hard work. It also helps to increase pupils’ awareness of philanthropy. We hope our parents can actively communicate with our parent representatives to support the planning and organisation of the event.

5月6日（周五），四至六年级表演艺术会第二场顺利举办。

On Friday, 6 May, we had our second run for the performing arts recital for grades 4, 5 and 6.

Thaxter老师和小学高年级入选学生为我们上演了一场精彩的音乐、舞蹈和戏剧演出，将过去几个月中在音乐和戏剧课上所学的内容展现得淋漓尽致。在这场精彩无比的表演会中，我们观看了同学们的歌唱、表演、诗歌朗诵，以及经典音乐剧《安妮》中的片段表演。

Mr. Thaxter and the children showcased the excellent skills they have been learning and practising for the past few months in music and drama lessons. Singing, acting, poetry and a number from the classical musical production “Annie” were a few of the performances we had the chance to witness in this cosy and fantastic recital.

另外，《儿童版苏斯狂想曲》音乐剧也将在不就的将来拉开帷幕，我们也期待着与学校社群共同观看这场精彩的演出。

On another note, Seussical Jr. The Musical is just around the corner. We are looking forward to sharing this fantastic production with our school community. 

希望在6月22日、23日和25日，学生家长、朋友们和学生家庭能来校欣赏同学们出色的技巧与天赋。

We hope that our parents, friends, and families can access the school on June 22, 23 and 25 to experience our pupils’ outstanding skills and talents.

我们的学生是这场演出中耀眼的明星。未来几周中，我们将宣布演员阵容。
