Dear LEHF Parents,

亲爱的家长

We are nearing the end of term, but school is still a hive of activity. You will see that there are many activities to keep the students engaged in their learning as well as showcasing the progress they have made.

虽然已经临近期末，但忙碌的校园生活依旧继续着。正如你所见，近期学校依然在举行各种活动，希望借此保持学生们对学习的热情，以及展示他们本学年的学习成果。

Our Year 11s have been out and about helping staff with lots of jobs and also attending taster lessons for their A Level subjects. This is a great way for them to prepare themselves for the new academic year. I will be introducing to them the IPQ (Independent Project Qualification) This is very well received by universities around the world and is equivalent to a whole A Level. Universities like this qualification because it allows students to demonstrate their passion for learning and it also moves students beyond the constraints of the taught curriculum. The project also gives them a first taste of what research is and the core skills required. If students wish to study for an IPQ, they will be asked to write a letter of application to Mrs. Kirk for consideration in September.

11 年级的学生本周已经开始参加志愿活动，帮助学校教职工们完成了许多工作，他们还参加了自己所选的 A Level 科目试课，这将帮助他们为新学年做好准备。另外，IPQ课程即将上线，这是A Level的一个独立项目制课程，世界各地的大学申请都非常看重此项。这个课程可以让学生展示他们对学习的热情，而且不会受到其他所学课程的限制。通过这个课程，学生们还能初步了解到如何进行研究，以及学习研究所需的技能。如果学生希望参加 IPQ课程，请在9月向Mrs Kirk提交申请。

For our younger students they will be given a simplified version of the IPQ called Hope Favours the Bold. All students in years 6 to 9 will undertake this summer project and receive a guide booklet to help them, so please do talk to them about how much time they will need to dedicate to their project. I am very much looking forward to seeing what amazing results they come back to school with. Parents will be invited into school to view the very best Hope Favours the Bold projects in September. Students in year 10 will be given work by each subject teacher to make sure that they review work studied. For some, they may need to fill some gaps and others may wish to further develop their understanding or practice key skills.

对于低年级的学生，他们将参加一个名为 “希望垂青勇者”的简化版 IPQ课程。这是一个所有 6 至 9 年级的学生都需要参加的暑期项目，他们将会收到一本关于该项目的指导手册，请家长们跟孩子一起研究以及讨论暑假期间的时间安排。我非常期待在新学年学生们能够带着满满的学习成果回来！同时我们也会在9月份邀请家长们到校参加 “希望垂青勇者” 课程的项目成果展。对于10年级的学生，每位学科老师都会为他们布置相关的暑期作业，以确保他们在暑假期间持续温习所学知识内容。老师会针对学生的具体情况布置作业，帮助他们加强掌握自身薄弱的方面，进一步提升练习相关的学习技能。

In the last week of term, we will be working with the Globe theatre, London who will launch our very first Shakespeare Week.  This is a hugely exciting honour for the school, as we will be the first school in the GBA to host such an event. Actors from the Globe will give our students a tour of the theatre via a live broadcast. They will then engage the students in workshops which will develop their understanding of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.

在本学期的最后一周，我们将与伦敦的环球剧院合作，进行第一个莎士比亚周活动。这对学校来说也是一个莫大的荣誉，我们将成为大湾区第一所举办此类活动的学校。来自环球剧院的演员们将通过现场直播的方式带领我们的学生参观剧院，之后会与我们的学生们一起参加线上研讨会，从而加深学生们对莎士比亚最著名戏剧的理解。

The staff across the school will continue to develop the students’ understanding through subject related activities, which will enhance the social, cultural and emotional element of their writing. For our IGCSE students, this will support and enhance their examination preparation.

全校教职员工将继续组织与筹划各类与学科相关的活动来培养学生的理解力，加强他们对社会及文化的理解和共情能力。这些活动有助于IGCSE学生们对考试做好充足的准备。

Sunday is Father’s Day. Can I thank all of our supportive dads in the LEH community and I do hope that you have a lovely day.

本周日是父亲节，我希望借此机会感谢霍利斯社区中每位父亲的辛勤付出，希望你们能度过美好的一天。

Best regards,

祝好，

Mrs Jane Arden

Headteacher 校长

Friday 1 July will be the last school day before summer. This will be a prize giving and celebration day which will finish at 1pm. 

7月1日（星期五）是暑假前的最后一天教学日。当天将会举办表彰大会及庆祝活动，放学时间是下午1点。

The academic year of 2022-2023 will begin on Wednesday 31 August. 

2022-2023 学年将于 8 月 31 日星期三开学。

This week we have met many parents and much of the conversation has been about how to extend and nurture interest in furthering the students understanding of mathematics, that is Mathematics – beyond the classroom: One way is to read outside of the curriculum and appreciate how mathematics affects every aspect of everyday life.

本周有很多家长向我们询问如何在课堂外培养孩子们对数学的兴趣。其中一个有效的方法是多进行课外阅读以及多留心观察数学对我们日常生活的影响。

其中 e 是自然对数的底，i 是 -1 的平方根。

Euler's Identity, is both stunning in its beauty and deceiving in its simplicity. For those unfamiliar with the symbols, here it refers to Euler’s Number, the base of the natural logarithm and equal to approximately 2.718, and i refers to the imaginary number. Even if this equation looks like nonsense, take a moment to revel in the fact that with just seven symbols Euler's identity manages to link five of the most important yet seemingly disparate constants in mathematics. It is beyond me to adequately describe in words the profundity of the connections within mathematics that this identity encapsulates so I leave it to those much more qualified. The great physicist Richard Feynman said one of the most remarkable, almost astounding, formulas in all of mathematics" and mathematics professor Keith Devlin remarked that like a "painting that brings out the beauty of the human form that is far more than just skin deep, Euler's Equation reaches down into the very depths of existence." Now if that doesn't send chills up your spine I'd check your pulse.   

欧拉恒等式是一个非常美妙的公式，它虽然看似简单，但却意义深远。对于不熟悉数学符号的人来说，这里的欧拉数e，指的是自然对数的底数，大约等于 2.718，而i则是一个虚数。虽然这个等式看起来毫无意义，但如果你花点时间研究一下，就会发现欧拉的恒等式仅仅用了七个符号，就将数学中五个最重要，但看似完全不相关的常数联系在一起。我无法用语言描述这其中所包含的数学深度，但我们可以看看其他人是怎么说的。伟大的物理学家理查德·费曼（Richard Feynman）形容这是”我们的珍宝”以及“数学中最非凡的公式”；数学教授基思·德夫林（Keith Devlin）则评论说：“就像莎士比亚的十四行诗一样，它抓住了爱的本质，或者一幅画，它展示了人类形态的美，而不仅仅是肤浅，欧拉方程深入到了存在的深处”。如果您对这个公式有了一个大致的了解，我相信您也一定会跟我一样感到非常激动。

Some of our students at LEH Foshan show great ability in mathematics and I hope that they will start to independently look at maths outside the classroom and enjoy the remarkable discoveries and theories outside of the school curriculum.

在佛山霍利斯，有部分学生表现出了出色的数学能力，我希望他们在课堂之外也能够独立对数学进行探讨，体验这些经典的数学发现和理论的美妙之处。

一名六年级学生本周三参加奥林匹克数学竞赛。本次考试历时2个小时，需要完成两个部分，第一部分则为简答题，第二部分的答题则需包含完整的运算过程和解题思路。他尽自己的努力回答了所有题目，我们非常期待他的最终成绩！此外，他还在课堂上与班级同学分享了一些问题的解题思路。

On Wednesday some of the Year 11 students had an informal lunch with the new A level student (Scarlett) who will be joining us in September. Scarlett is very busy completing Yr12 work online but she took a moment out of her day to meet her new peers. All of the students had a great chat and Scarlett was able to tell them how much work they will need to complete next year if they are to reach the standard required to get offers from top UK universities.

本周三，部分11 年级的学生与 9 月即将加入我们的新学生共进午餐。她即将踏入A Level阶段，虽然每天都忙于12年级的线上作业，但她非常开心能够与我们的11年级学生一起吃饭。在吃饭过程中，她向11年级学生们分享了如果想要获取知名英国大学的录取通知书，他们在下一学年需要付出更多的努力工作。

We have so very many talented artists at LEH and as ever it has been difficult to choose May’s Artists of the Month, so for May the award goes to three of our students for their outstanding sculptural work. Congratulations to two Year 7 students, who win the award for their papier-mache animal shoe sculptures and a Year 9 student for her ceramic self-portrait.

在佛山霍利斯，涌现出许多才华横溢的小艺术家们。但三位学生在五月艺术之星评奖中凭借他们出色的雕塑作品脱颖而出！七年级的两位学生各自制作出了纸质动物鞋雕塑，九年级的一位学生则凭借陶瓷自画像赢得奖项，让我们一起祝贺这三位同学！

All students demonstrated excellent control of the art medium and excellent ability in the required techniques. The animal shoes sculptures were made from old shoes, which formed the main base of the sculptures. Considering the shape of their shoe, they researched and chose an animal to transform their shoe into, they and then drew design ideas and planned their sculpture. To build the animal they shaped and moulded dry paper and used wire to hold the forms in place. Using papier-mache strips they created a ‘skin’ around the forms and used papier-mache pulp to model fur, eyeballs and claws. The last stage of making was painting. One Y7 student artist chose to paint her fox very realistically, mixing colours and tones and creating texture using line, whereas the other Y7 student artist chose to apply a kaleidoscope of colours to his Chameleon.

学生在对艺术体裁和技巧方面的掌握展示出他们的专业能力。动物鞋是用旧鞋制作而成，形成了雕塑的主体。同学们进行了认真的调查研究，最后各自选择一种动物来确定鞋的形状，随后便开始逐步设计规划动物鞋的制作。他们利用干纸对动物的外形进行塑形，并使用铁丝将其固定到位。下一步则是使用混凝纸条模拟出动物的皮肤，制作出了动物的皮毛、眼球和爪子。最后阶段则是上色绘画，一位同学选择混合各类颜色，用线条创造出纹理，非常写实地呈现出她的狐狸雕塑，而另一位则为他的变色龙换上了五彩斑斓的颜色。

The Y9 student artist's ceramic self-portrait demonstrates a very sophisticated control of the clay and an ability to produce a realistic self-portrait. The sculpture is part of her Year 9 Portraiture project. To start, she worked from her self-portrait drawings and had a mirror in front of her so she could regularly observe her face and check she was modelling the clay accurately. She firstly marked out the proportions, lightly drawing into the clay. To make the facial features she modelled the forms and attached them to the base. The inside of the sculpture is hollow, it has to be because solid clay would explode in the kiln. After completing the modelling, the clay was dried out and fired in the kiln. The glaze was then applied and it was fired again, the glaze gives the white glossy surface.

Well done again to our budding artists!

再次祝贺我们的小艺术家们！

This year sees LEH Foshan create it’s very first yearbook; what better way to mark this occasion than to offer our talented school community the opportunity to design the cover?

今年是见证佛山霍利斯第一本年鉴的诞生。学生，教职员工共同参与年鉴封面设计大赛，这无疑是庆祝年鉴诞生的最好方式了。

We received a range of submissions, both from students belonging to all four of our houses, and from staff members.  Entries were collected, and a shortlist of 3 finalists was created.  Students voted for their favourite design from the 3 shortlisted entries:

大家都非常热情积极参加本次大赛，我们收集了来自四个学院的学生和教职员工的各类参赛作品，最终有三位选手入围决赛。最后，学生们从这三个作品中投票选出了他们最喜欢的封面设计。

There was one clear winner who won over 60% of all votes.

获得第一名的同学的出色设计赢得了超过60%的票数！

All submissions will be featured in the yearbook, and the winning design will of course be our front cover.

所有的参赛作品都将收入年鉴当中，以作纪念。获得第一名的作品则会成为年鉴的封面。

On Sunday 12th June, 15 of our talented young pianists took to the stage at the Steinway Gallery in Guangzhou, an opportunity to perform on a Steinway Concert-D grand piano. This was an enormous privilege to give a concert on one of the world’s finest pianos, and I was incredibly proud with all students. To perform in a stunning venue with a number of world-famous Steinway artists from China, including Lang Lang and Yuja Wang, overlooking proceedings from their photo frames is something I will never forget.

上周日（6月12日），我们才华横溢的15位小钢琴家们在广州施坦威华南旗舰店进行了演出，弹奏着世界上公认最顶级的钢琴之一，我为学生们感到非常骄傲自豪。能带领学生们在这个包括郎朗、王羽佳等许多世界著名的施坦威艺术家表演过的舞台上进行演奏，对我来说也是一件非常难忘的事情。

This has been a wonderful first year at LEH Foshan, and there is never a morning or lunch break without the buzz of piano activity going on in the Music Department. Keep practising everyone… onwards and upwards!

这对佛山霍利斯来说也是意义非凡的一年，课间和午间休息时间，音乐学科的练习室每天都环绕着学生们刻苦练习的美妙琴声，继续努力吧，孩子们！

And big thanks to a Y6 Student who beautifully hosted the concert and worked very hard to announce all the difficult music pieces!

非常感谢六年级一位学生主动担任本次演奏会的小主持人，展示出他出色且专业的主持技巧！

On Thursday afternoon of 16th June 2022, the LEHF Assembly Hall is witnessing a large audience watching 28 contestants delivering speeches with cadence in the Joint Mandarin-English Speech Contest with six judges writing scores efficiently on the marksheet.

2022年6月16日（星期四）下午，佛山霍利斯在学校礼堂举办了一场中英文演讲比赛，观众及六位评委共同观看28名参赛选手的表现，比赛非常之精彩！

This is the second time the school holding this kind of contest. It was a poetry recital last year with just a dozen contestants participating in. This year the number has doubled. Early this week the pupils competed fiercely in the qualification trials in which their presentation quality was so high that the teachers had a hard time to make decisions on who to be selected for the final contest. Their attitude of striving to do their best for the places in the final had deeply impressed the staff. They all understand that it is a key part of the student experience at LEHF to develop the public speaking ability.

After two hours of tense demonstration, five contestants for each language have stood out and their prizes will be awarded in the School Assembly on Friday 17th June 2022. 

历经两个小时的比赛，中英双语各有五名选手脱颖而出，学校于2022年6月17日（星期五）的集会进行颁奖，祝贺他们！

As we draw towards the end of the year, it is not just a time to celebrate exam results, work towards those final (and potentially game-changing) house points that can be collected and reflect on the friendships the students have made. It is also a time to celebrate our students’ creativity and their ability to come together as a group to create some wonderful memories.

本学年即将进入尾声，这是一个值得庆祝的时刻。期末考试的结束，相信学生们的辛勤学习有所回报；在最后的这几周，学生们仍积极地为自己的学院获取学分；也许是即将开启暑假，学生们倍感珍惜与朋友之间的友谊。本学年很开心见证学生们茁壮成长，为学校创造出这么多美好的回忆。

The Year 6 Poetry Recital gave parents a chance to see how confident their students had become, how they could explore familiar and unfamiliar emotions and also, to echo the final poem delivered by Joanne Chen, to acknowledge how they have grown and flourished as a team.

6年级的诗歌朗诵会的举办，家长们能够看到他们的孩子如今是变得多么自信，懂得如何探索抒发不同的情感。同时也呼应了我们学生Joanne Chen朗诵的最后一首诗歌主题，学生们作为一个团体，如今已经茁壮成长，不断向前进步。

This teamwork could clearly be seen in efforts of our host students, whose speech introduced the event in both English and Mandarin. It was evident in the groupings the students put together, finding similarities between their poems and choosing to stand up and read their poetry in teams. Their rehearsal teams and the critiques they provided in class helped to build each other’s confidence and, with every burst of enthusiastic clicking on the day, this support for their team was reinforced.

诗歌朗诵会的举办也彰显了学生之间的一种团队精神。有的学生担当起主持人的责任，用中英双语介绍了本次活动。其他学生则分工合作，找出各自诗歌之间的相似之处，以团队的形式进行朗诵。在排练过程和上课期间，学生之间会相互指出需提高改善的问题，不仅有助于建立彼此的自信心，同时也增强了团队凝聚力。

Students’ ability to write poems is never tested in exams and it is for this very reason that we found this a fitting way to end the year, as a well-rounded education is about prioritising more than academics and the Year 6 students embraced the opportunity to show off the 8Cs instead, recognising the importance of our values.

因为考试中并没有考察学生写诗能力这一板块，诗歌朗诵会的举办展示了学生的诗歌才华。其实，综合教育不仅体现在学术方面。6年级的学生作为榜样，主动向我们展示了8Cs核心竞争力的重要性。

If, on reflection, any parent feels that they would like a further opportunity to discuss any aspect of their child’s year here at LEH in a particular subject, please contact the teacher directly via email or through Miss Li.

若家长想要与某位科任老师深入探讨孩子的学习情况，请通过邮件联系科任老师或李老师。

Hopefully the consultations between staff and parents gave a flavour of the content of the end of year report, which is currently being written, and will be published on the last day of term.

希望家长会的举办能让大家对孩子这一年的学习情况有所了解，年终报告也在准备中，将于学期末最后一天发放给各位家长。

A huge thanks go to Miss Li for her hard work organising the event, and for the catering and facilities management team for all their help in setting up and ensuring that everything ran to plan.

非常感谢李老师为组织这次家长会所做的辛勤工作，也很感谢学校餐饮部及物业部的配合，得以让家长会顺利举行。

On the morning of 11 June, Foshan Sanlong Bay International Talents Living Room held the “Experience of Chinese and Foreign Talents in Dragon Boat Race” in Lecong Training Base of Shunde Dragon-boat Club.

6月11日上午，佛山三龙湾国际人才客厅在顺德龙舟俱乐部乐从训练基地举行了” 中外才子游龙舟体验”活动。

Our LEHF teachers actively participated in this event, and they really enjoyed it. Under the guidance of the Dragon Boat team, they started the water adaptation training and were taught how to row a dragon boat. Then a fierce but exciting competition began and reached a climax!

佛山霍利斯的老师积极参与其中，体验划龙舟乐趣。在龙舟队员的指导下，他们开始进行水上适应训练和学习划龙舟技巧龙舟。随后即进行了一场激烈却又激动的比赛，将本次体验活动推向高潮！

This spiritual and cultural event provides a sense of community for our LEHF teachers. Not only do they teach happily and purposefully within our school, but also, they could feel the charm of Lingnan traditional culture in the community.

本次精神文化体育活动有助于整体社区凝聚力的培养。佛山霍利斯的老师校内开心教学，校外感受岭南传统文化魅力！

Our final concert of the year is next Tuesday 21st June: International World Music Day. This will be an opportunity to celebrate the fantastic musical achievements of our students during this past year, with solo and group performances, and plenty of singing.

本学年最后一场夏季音乐会将会在下周二（6月21日）举行，主题是庆祝世界音乐日，同时庆祝学生在过去一年中的辛勤学习，展示他们的音乐学习成果。本次音乐会将包含独奏、小组表演、以及精彩的歌唱演出。

The Music Department has come a long way since the ‘eery silence’ of my first few days on campus last September. There will be music for piano, drum kit, trumpet, trombone, oboe, string instruments, and choir, with the concert ending with Gary Barlow’s Commonwealth Song ‘Sing’ performed by all students from years 6-9.

音乐学科部门的成立，从我去年9月加入佛山霍利斯一开始时的鸦雀无声，到如今每天都萦绕着各种乐器美妙的声音，一路走来可谓非常不易。本次音乐会包含钢琴、架子鼓、小号、长号、双簧管、弦乐器和合唱团的表演，并会以Gary Barlow的英联邦歌曲“Sing”作结尾，所有 6-9 年级的学生都会参与这个合唱。

All students, parents and staff are welcome to attend on Tuesday 21st June, 17.00-18.00 in the Assembly Hall. From 16.30, snacks will be served in the 3F Music Department – everyone is welcome to enjoy!

下周二17点到18点，我将在礼堂恭候大家，届时会提供茶歇，欢迎所有学生、家长和教职员工的出席！

This term, all Year 6-10 students participated in the Lion Dance ECA and had a glance into this Foshan traditional cultural heritage.
