The Greatness of Drama
伟大的戏剧课
Dear Junior School parents and families,
亲爱的小初学部家长们：
A new drama activity class has been made available for students at Haileybury. At first our students were nervous and unsure of themselves, but as time goes on and the more they are on stage, they are developing into creative and expressive students.
本学期，我们的国际教师开设了一门英文戏剧课。刚开始时，同学们登上舞台会感到紧张和不自信，但随着他们在台上的时间越来越长，他们的创造力和表达能力也在不断地提高。
We began with ‘trust’ activities. These activities are to ensure students become more comfortable with acting in front of others and building confidence in themselves. Following the ‘trust’ activities are lessons on emotions and characteristic traits. These lessons play an important part in drama class, as they are beneficial when learners need to play a character that is unlike themselves. We are currently working on a skit we will do in assembly for the school.
我们进行了一些"信任"游戏，这些游戏的目的是让同学们在他人面前表演时更加自信。在完成了这些"信任"活动之后，我们会进行情绪和个性特征方面的课程。这些课程在戏剧课中扮演着重要角色，因为当学习者需要饰演与自己不同的角色时，这些课程对他们非常有益。目前，我们正为学校的校会准备一场小品。
A dialogue, skit, or play gives students context. Learning, memorizing, and practicing drama allows students to interact with the content on a deeper level, engaging all four language skills: reading, speaking, listening, and writing, for example when they make their own props for the stage, or if they take notes on their lines.
戏剧、小品或对话为学生提供了真实情境。通过学习、记忆和练习戏剧，学生能够更加深入地与内容进行互动，涵盖了阅读、口语、听力和写作这四项语言技能(例如，他们可以制作舞台道具，并记下台词)。
Using drama to teach English builds team spirit, communication skills, and students’ confidence in their own English abilities. During drama practice, students can make mistakes, experiment with language, and even learn to improvise if they forget a word or a line.
通过使用戏剧来教授英语，可以培养学生的团队精神、沟通能力以及对自身英语能力的信心。在戏剧实践中，学生有机会犯错误、尝试语言，甚至在忘记单词或台词时学会即兴表演。这样的实践帮助他们更自信地运用英语，并提升他们的语言表达能力。
This flexibility and adaptability build fluency and vocabulary knowledge, increasing the students confidence even further. Memorizing and practicing lines makes a great addition to learning a new language.
这种灵活性和适应性有助于提高学生的流利度和丰富词汇知识，并进一步增强他们的自信心。记忆和练习台词是学习新语言的很好补充。通过这种方式，学生可以更加自信地表达自己，并逐步提高他们的语言技能。

English Debate Class
英语辩论课
This year, we have jumpstarted an English Debate activity class to promote the Middle School students English abilities and critical thinking. We practice a form of debate referred to as “Socratic debate”. These debates focus primarily on the asking questions, rather than the straightforward act stating of one’s personal opinions, naming facts, or appealing to authority.
今年，我们开始了一项英语辩论活动课，旨在提高同学们的英语能力和批判性思维能力。我们采用一种可以称为“苏格拉底辩论”的辩论形式。这些辩论主要侧重于提问，而不是直接陈述个人观点、陈述事实或诉诸权威。
The Socratic method is a form of teaching and learning that is based on asking questions and encouraging critical thinking. It is named after the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who is said to have used this method to help his students understand complex ideas and concepts. The method involves asking questions to prompt the student to challenge their own thinking and arrive at new insights, rather than simply providing them with information. It is often used in philosophy and other fields that rely on critical thinking and reasoning.
苏格拉底式教育方法是一种基于提问和鼓励批判性思维的教学和学习方法。它以古希腊哲学家苏格拉底命名，据说他用这种方法帮助学生理解复杂的思想和概念。该方法通过提问来促使学生进行批判性思考并得出新的见解。这种方法经常被用于哲学和其他依赖于批判性思维和推理的领域。
Socratic debate can be especially useful for English language learners because it focuses on the asking of questions. Students get an opportunity to gain some practice using the -wh (or question) words in English and can work towards building a confident and resolute command of the English language. It is hoped that they will increase their confidence in speaking English, which will help prepare them to dauntlessly achieve their academic and professional goals, wherever in the world their English-speaking ability might take them.
苏格拉底式辩论对于英语学习者尤其有用，因为它侧重于提问。学生有机会在英语中使用特殊疑问句，因此英语思考和输出能力会大幅度提高。我希望他们能通过英语辩论课增强自己在英语口语方面的信心，这有助于为他们实现学术和职业目标。

STEM Lego Robotics Class
STEM 乐高机器人课
You've likely heard the term STEM or STEM class, but what does it stand for? STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. And together they make up a popular and fast-growing subject at school. As society innovates and technology advances, the need for professionals who understand how these technologies work and who can propose practical solutions continues to grow. This is exactly what this class is helping students in middle school to achieve. Technology is at the heart of many in-demand jobs. Those who love working with different technologies and machines, such as computers, cars, and electronics, will likely find a STEM career extremely rewarding. Our students at Middle School show such enthusiasm and are very well equipped with the necessary skills to solve many of the problems they come across during activities. The STEM activity is a great opportunity that allows our students to build their teamwork and communication skills. Students can work together to build a battery powered robot, a bottle rocket or build the tallest tower, allowing them to try different communication techniques and approaches to discover what works.
你可能听说过STEM这个词，但它代表什么?STEM是科学、技术、工程和数学的缩写。这四个领域都强调创新、解决问题和批判性思维。它们共同构成了学校里一门受欢迎且快速发展的学科。社会对能提出实用解决方案的专业人员的需求在不断增长。这也正是我们培养学生的目标。技术是许多工作的核心。那些喜欢使用不同技术和机器(如计算机、汽车和电子产品)的人可能会发现STEM专业非常有回报。我们的学生表现出了这样的热情，并且非常具备解决他们在活动中遇到的许多问题的必要技能。STEM活动是一个很好的机会，可以让我们的学生培养团队合作和沟通技能。学生们可以一起建造电池驱动的机器人、瓶子火箭或最 高的塔，让他们尝试不同的通信技术和方法来发现什么是有效的。

Reading and Phonic Games
阅读和自然拼读游戏
Early acquisition of sufficient reading skills can have a significant impact on students' academic performance over the course of their school careers. Because of this, there is a widespread belief that reading difficulties should be addressed as soon as possible to reduce the possibility that students will experience long-term effects from developmental delays.
越早掌握足够的阅读技能就越能够对学生在整个学业生涯中的学术表现产生巨大的影响。因此，人们普遍认为应该尽早解决阅读困难。
At Haileybury we strive to equip students with the necessary skills and strategies they need to succeed in reading. For lower primary we focus on decoding and phonics and upper primary we use “CARS AND STARS” to reinforce these reading strategies. In future newsletters, I will discuss various strategies and techniques to expand more on this topic.
在天津黑利伯瑞学校，我们致力于为学生提供必要的阅读技能和策略，帮助他们在阅读方面取得成功。在低年级阶段，我们注重教授解码和语音技巧，而在高年级阶段，我们通过使用“CARS & STARS”等在线阅读工具来强化这些阅读策略。在接下来的文章中，我将详细介绍各种扩展此主题的策略和技巧。
You may ask how does reading play a role in learning a second language such as English. When a child can read, they are able to develop their grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and analytical skills.
你可能会问，在学习英语等第二语言时，阅读扮演着什么样的角色。事实上，当孩子学会阅读后，他们能够发展语法、词汇量、理解力和分析能力。
Much research has been conducted by scientists to understand how children learn to read and how reading works. They have found that reading is a cognitive activity that involves decoding written symbols, drawing connects to prior information, and obtaining meaning from text rather than just being a simple visual task.
科学家们已经开展了大量研究，以深入探究儿童如何学习阅读，以及阅读的运作方式。他们发现，阅读是一种认知活动，它需要解码书写符号、将它们与先前掌握的信息联系起来，并从文本中获取意义，而不只是简单的视觉任务。

Phonics Games
自然拼读游戏
Phonics games are interactive and engaging educational activities designed to help children develop their phonics skills. Phonics is the method of teaching reading and pronunciation by focusing on the sounds that letters and letter combinations make. I would like to recommend some games to our parents and students.
自然拼读游戏是一种互动和引人入胜的教育活动，旨在帮助儿童发展其拼音技能。自然拼读是一种通过专注于字母和字母组合产生的声音来教授阅读和发音的方法。今天，我给大家介绍几个自然拼读的游戏。
Phonics Hopscotch 字母跳房子游戏
A fun alphabet game called Alphabet Hopscotch will help your child learn letter recognition while also getting them moving inside or even outside.
有一个有趣的字母游戏叫做“字母跳格子”，它可以帮助孩子们学习字母识别，并且同时让他们在室内或室外活动起来。
Things you need: Alphabet letters and a sandbag (or a ball).
为了进行这个字母跳格子游戏，你会需要一些材料：字母卡片或者在地面上绘制的字母场地，还有一些沙包或者球。
Place the pieces of the alphabet puzzle (or draw the alphabet) in a vertical line on the ground. As per the picture below. Throw the sandbag on a letter. Let them hop on every letter while saying the sound of the letter out loud. This is done until they have reached the sandbag. Throw the bag until the whole alphabet is completed.
在这个游戏中，可以将字母拼图的每个部分垂直排列(或在地上绘制字母形状)。接着，将沙包扔向其中一个字母，然后让孩子跳到每个字母上，同时大声说出它们的发音，一直跳到沙包停留在的那个字母。然后再扔沙包，继续进行直到完成整个字母表。
The Pairing Game 配对游戏
To play this game, you’ll need flashcards with the letters and corresponding pictures. The key feature is that you can play pairing games with them by placing the cards on a table or the floor and having them match the words with the picture.
要参与这个游戏，你需要准备一套带有字母和对应图片的识字卡。这个游戏的核心特点在于，你可以将识字卡放在桌子或地板上，让孩子们进行单词和图片的配对游戏。通过这种方式，孩子们可以提升他们的配对能力和视觉识别能力。这个游戏的设定非常有趣，同时也提供了一种互动的学习体验，让孩子们更加自由地参与其中。
This game is fantastic because it encourages the use of lots of senses. A child's mind processes a lot of information without needing to think of the words on their own. Most phonics books have flash cards available at the back of the book.
这个游戏非常出色，因为它鼓励使用多种感官。孩子们可以通过处理大量信息，不需要自己思考单词的情况下进行游戏。大多数语音读物的末尾都提供了相应的识字卡，供孩子和家长参考。这种设计方式非常贴心，不仅节省了自己寻找识字卡的时间，同时也为孩子的学习创造了更为便捷的环境和多样性的学习体验。
Use Words to Hide and Seek 词语捉迷藏
With this game, kids may take the initiative and have control. Using the cards, you have from the matching game; you can hide the picture flashcards throughout your home. After that, you ask your child to search the house for the matching pair while holding up the letter.
通过这个游戏，孩子可以积极参与并掌握主导权。你可以事先将配对游戏中的图片识字卡片隐藏在家里的各个角落。然后，让孩子手持字母卡片，寻找家里与之对应的图片。这样做的好处是，孩子不仅能够巩固他们的字母和单词识别能力，还能锻炼他们的观察力和空间意识。而且，这种游戏方式能够让孩子们更加主动地参与其中，增加他们的学习动力和自信心。
