亲爱的家长

如果你问我一生中读得最多的是哪本书，无疑就是《杀死一只知更鸟》。首先这本书本身就写得很棒，同时它也是我在课堂上会向学生教授的文学文本。

该书讲述了一个被诬告强奸罪的男人的故事。由于被告是黑人，官司必输无疑，他的辩护律师阿蒂克斯·芬奇（Atticus Finch）还是选择接手这个案子。因为他知道如果他不这样做的话，他就无法与自己和解，心中的那一腔使命感与对正义与尊严的守护油然而生。阿蒂克斯·芬奇（Atticus Finch）是小社区里的道德指南针，正义的追随者。他的孩子们将他作为榜样，向他学习。尽管最初他们认为自己的父亲年纪大了，什么都做不成，但逐渐意识到其实他们的父亲是多么勇敢，他在社区内是多么受人尊敬。

作为父母，我们是孩子的道德指南针。该书写于1952年，所富含的教育意义却流传至今。你永远不能轻易评判一个人，直到你站在他的立场，真正地尝试理解他。尽管过程有时很痛苦，但真相应该永远占上风，舆论法庭是非常危险的。在这部小说中，事情的真相是由律师在法庭上阐述的，并非通过镇街上谣言蜚语的传播。

作为教师和家长，我们的工作是教育和指引孩子要有同理心和勇气去做正确的事情。毕竟，我们也希望把孩子培养成诚实正义的人才，在学校社区内快乐和安全地生活。

谨致

亲爱的家长，

这个学期过得真快，我真不敢相信第三学期马上就要结束了。第三学期总是学年中最繁忙的学期之一，本周也不例外。在第一轮演讲比赛中，学生们的主题十分精彩，从“周遭世界将如何改变我们”到“战争的演变及其影响”，都让我们惊叹不已。学生们以最热情的方式参与比赛，老师们从自信心、主题相关性、幽默、资料搜集、个人表现和主题陈述方面进行了评分。整场比赛的结果非常接近，许多学生的分数只比进入下一轮所需的分数低1到2分。这展示佛山霍利斯预备部的学生们是多么的专注和充满热情。每位预备部的学生都值得被表扬。恭喜我们12名进入了下一轮的同学们。

今天预备部会议上，五年级的同学给我们带来了一场精彩的表演。这个场景摘自他们的课本《小自由人》，作者是特里·普拉切特。五年级学生们给我们带来精彩表演，希望他们的蓝色妆容能够轻松卸掉！

本周是我们的考试周，然而，我不得不对五年级和五六年级的学生表示热烈的祝贺，他们按照严肃的考场要求参加了本次的考试，为未来的中学阶段的考试做好准备。每位学生都表现得十分出色！

周末愉快！

Letter from Headteacher

Mrs Jane Arden

佛山霍利斯校长

Dear LEHF Parents,

If I was asked which book I had read the most in my life it was would be ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, partly out of pleasure and partly from the fact that I chose it as an literature text to read with my students.

It tells the story of a man wrongly accused of rape. His lawyer, Atticus Finch knows he will lose the legal case (because the accused is black) but takes it anyway as he says he could not live with himself if he didn’t. Atticus Finch is a moral compass in a small community, his children watch and learn from their father and having initially thought that their father was too old to do anything, they come to realise how brave their father is and how respected he is within the community.

As parents we act as a moral compass to our children; this book was written in 1952, however its key messages still ring true; you never know a person until you stand in their shoes and walk around in them, as painful as it is sometimes, the truth should always prevail and finally the court of opinion is very dangerous. In the novel, the facts are dealt with by lawyers in a court not in the streets of the town.

As teachers and parents, it is our job to teach our children to have compassion and the courage to do the right thing. After all, we want the children to have the integrity needed to live happily and safely within our school community.

Best regards,

Mrs Jane Arden

Headteacher

Prep School

Letter

from Ms Bateman

Hello LEHF parents,

This term is flying by, I can’t believe we are nearly at the end of the summer term. The summer term is always one of the busiest terms in the school year, and this week has been no exception to that. We have had our first round of Prep Talks, students wowed us with topics from “How the surrounding world can change you” to “ Evolution of war and its effect”. The students participated in the most enthusiastic way possible, they were graded on their Confidence, Topic relevancy, Humor, Research quality, Personal presentation, and Presentation of the topic. It was a very close result with many students scoring 1 or 2 points just below the grade required to go through to the next round. This shows me just how dedicated and passionate the students are about doing their best in Prep School. Commendations on such a fantastic achievement by every Prep student. Congratulations to our twelve students who made it through to our next round.

We were all treated to a fantastic play in assembly today by the Year five class. The scene was taken from their class book “The Wee free men” by Terry Pratchett. Well-done Year five a brilliant scene some of the blue face paint may take some scrubbing off!

All the students this week have been involved in assessments, however, I have to say a huge congratulations to the older upper key stage, Y5 and Y5/6 students who have taken their assessments in exam conditions preparing them ready for secondary exams in the future. A huge well done everyone.

Have a wonderful restful weekend.

Everywhere you look at LEH Foshan students are busy preparing for external examinations and internal end-of-year exams. At LEH we are mindful of students’ well-being and in the Mathematics Department, we like to intersperse revision with activities to enhance the students learning but to also get them out of their seats.
