The Greatness of Drama

偉大的戲劇課

Dear Junior School parents and families,

親愛的小初學部家長們：

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.

本學期，我們的國際教師開設了一門英文戲劇課。剛開始時，同學們登上舞臺會感到緊張和不自信，但隨著他們在臺上的時間越來越長，他們的創造力和表達能力也在不斷地提高。

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.

我們進行了一些"信任"游戲，這些游戲的目的是讓同學們在他人面前表演時更加自信。在完成了這些"信任"活動之后，我們會進行情緒和個性特征方面的課程。這些課程在戲劇課中扮演著重要角色，因為當學習者需要飾演與自己不同的角色時，這些課程對他們非常有益。目前，我們正為學校的校會準備一場小品。

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.

戲劇、小品或對話為學生提供了真實情境。通過學習、記憶和練習戲劇，學生能夠更加深入地與內容進行互動，涵蓋了閱讀、口語、聽力和寫作這四項語言技能(例如，他們可以制作舞臺道具，并記下臺詞)。

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.

通過使用戲劇來教授英語，可以培養學生的團隊精神、溝通能力以及對自身英語能力的信心。在戲劇實踐中，學生有機會犯錯誤、嘗試語言，甚至在忘記單詞或臺詞時學會即興表演。這樣的實踐幫助他們更自信地運用英語，并提升他們的語言表達能力。

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.

這種靈活性和適應性有助于提高學生的流利度和豐富詞匯知識，并進一步增強他們的自信心。記憶和練習臺詞是學習新語言的很好補充。通過這種方式，學生可以更加自信地表達自己，并逐步提高他們的語言技能。

English Debate Class

英語辯論課

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，我們開始了一項英語辯論活動課，旨在提高同學們的英語能力和批判性思維能力。我們采用一種可以稱為“蘇格拉底辯論”的辯論形式。這些辯論主要側重于提問，而不是直接陳述個人觀點、陳述事實或訴諸權威。

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.

蘇格拉底式教育方法是一種基于提問和鼓勵批判性思維的教學和學習方法。它以古希臘哲學家蘇格拉底命名，據說他用這種方法幫助學生理解復雜的思想和概念。該方法通過提問來促使學生進行批判性思考并得出新的見解。這種方法經常被用于哲學和其他依賴于批判性思維和推理的領域。

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.

蘇格拉底式辯論對于英語學習者尤其有用，因為它側重于提問。學生有機會在英語中使用特殊疑問句，因此英語思考和輸出能力會大幅度提高。我希望他們能通過英語辯論課增強自己在英語口語方面的信心，這有助于為他們實現學術和職業目標。

STEM Lego Robotics Class

STEM 樂高機器人課

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.

你可能聽說過STEM這個詞，但它代表什么?STEM是科學、技術、工程和數學的縮寫。這四個領域都強調創新、解決問題和批判性思維。它們共同構成了學校里一門受歡迎且快速發展的學科。社會對能提出實用解決方案的專業人員的需求在不斷增長。這也正是我們培養學生的目標。技術是許多工作的核心。那些喜歡使用不同技術和機器(如計算機、汽車和電子產品)的人可能會發現STEM專業非常有回報。我們的學生表現出了這樣的熱情，并且非常具備解決他們在活動中遇到的許多問題的必要技能。STEM活動是一個很好的機會，可以讓我們的學生培養團隊合作和溝通技能。學生們可以一起建造電池驅動的機器人、瓶子火箭或最 高的塔，讓他們嘗試不同的通信技術和方法來發現什么是有效的。

Reading and Phonic Games

閱讀和自然拼讀游戲

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.

越早掌握足夠的閱讀技能就越能夠對學生在整個學業生涯中的學術表現產生巨大的影響。因此，人們普遍認為應該盡早解決閱讀困難。

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.

在天津黑利伯瑞學校，我們致力于為學生提供必要的閱讀技能和策略，幫助他們在閱讀方面取得成功。在低年級階段，我們注重教授解碼和語音技巧，而在高年級階段，我們通過使用“CARS & STARS”等在線閱讀工具來強化這些閱讀策略。在接下來的文章中，我將詳細介紹各種擴展此主題的策略和技巧。

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.

你可能會問，在學習英語等第二語言時，閱讀扮演著什么樣的角色。事實上，當孩子學會閱讀后，他們能夠發展語法、詞匯量、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.

科學家們已經開展了大量研究，以深入探究兒童如何學習閱讀，以及閱讀的運作方式。他們發現，閱讀是一種認知活動，它需要解碼書寫符號、將它們與先前掌握的信息聯系起來，并從文本中獲取意義，而不只是簡單的視覺任務。

Phonics Games

自然拼讀游戲

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.

自然拼讀游戲是一種互動和引人入勝的教育活動，旨在幫助兒童發展其拼音技能。自然拼讀是一種通過專注于字母和字母組合產生的聲音來教授閱讀和發音的方法。今天，我給大家介紹幾個自然拼讀的游戲。

Phonics Hopscotch 字母跳房子游戲

A fun alphabet game called Alphabet Hopscotch will help your child learn letter recognition while also getting them moving inside or even outside.

有一個有趣的字母游戲叫做“字母跳格子”，它可以幫助孩子們學習字母識別，并且同時讓他們在室內或室外活動起來。

Things you need: Alphabet letters and a sandbag (or a ball).

為了進行這個字母跳格子游戲，你會需要一些材料：字母卡片或者在地面上繪制的字母場地，還有一些沙包或者球。

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.

在這個游戲中，可以將字母拼圖的每個部分垂直排列(或在地上繪制字母形狀)。接著，將沙包扔向其中一個字母，然后讓孩子跳到每個字母上，同時大聲說出它們的發音，一直跳到沙包停留在的那個字母。然后再扔沙包，繼續進行直到完成整個字母表。

The Pairing Game 配對游戲

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.

要參與這個游戲，你需要準備一套帶有字母和對應圖片的識字卡。這個游戲的核心特點在于，你可以將識字卡放在桌子或地板上，讓孩子們進行單詞和圖片的配對游戲。通過這種方式，孩子們可以提升他們的配對能力和視覺識別能力。這個游戲的設定非常有趣，同時也提供了一種互動的學習體驗，讓孩子們更加自由地參與其中。

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.

這個游戲非常出色，因為它鼓勵使用多種感官。孩子們可以通過處理大量信息，不需要自己思考單詞的情況下進行游戲。大多數語音讀物的末尾都提供了相應的識字卡，供孩子和家長參考。這種設計方式非常貼心，不僅節省了自己尋找識字卡的時間，同時也為孩子的學習創造了更為便捷的環境和多樣性的學習體驗。

Use Words to Hide and Seek 詞語捉迷藏

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.

通過這個游戲，孩子可以積極參與并掌握主導權。你可以事先將配對游戲中的圖片識字卡片隱藏在家里的各個角落。然后，讓孩子手持字母卡片，尋找家里與之對應的圖片。這樣做的好處是，孩子不僅能夠鞏固他們的字母和單詞識別能力，還能鍛煉他們的觀察力和空間意識。而且，這種游戲方式能夠讓孩子們更加主動地參與其中，增加他們的學習動力和自信心。
