在佛山霍利斯预备部，我们始终致力于打造一个充满关怀和活力的环境，鼓励学生们在成长中释放潜能，展现创造力。在本文中，我们非常高兴为大家介绍我们自信且茁壮成长的三年级学生Truman。
Truman
在 2023 年 8 月从美国回国后，Truman 加入了我们学校。在过去的一年里，他在学术、社交和个人成长方面都取得了显著的进步。
学习成长之旅
Truman 幼儿园毕业后，直接加入我们的预备部，他起初感到有些挑战，尤其是在英语学习方面。他回忆道：“刚开学的时候并不容易，因为英语比幼儿园时的更难，但后来我慢慢适应了。”
在他成长的过程中，二年级的主班老师 Ms Wilkinson 起到了重要的引导作用。Truman 说：“Ms Wilkinson 给予了我很多帮助，她总是耐心地回答我的每一个问题。” Ms Wilkinson 也见证了他的飞速成长，她表示：
Truman 的学习热情让我印象深刻。他逐渐成长为一个自信且充满好奇心的孩子，在阅读和写作方面取得了巨大的进步。他的创造力在每门学科中都得到了充分体现，而随着每一次挑战的到来，他对学习的热爱也与日俱增。
Truman 对创意类学科十分喜爱，尤其是艺术课。“我喜欢艺术课，因为我可以发挥自己的创意，进行绘画和涂色，”他说。他还特别喜欢最近的石器时代主题学习，最喜欢的是模型制作活动。三年级老师 Mr Corr 对他的作品赞不绝口：“Truman 非常专注，即使面对挑战也能坚持不懈。他制作的石器时代聚落模型和洞穴壁画都十分出色。”
升入三年级后，Truman 十分喜欢新的主班老师 Mr Corr，他说：“Mr Corr 先生既友善又幽默，总是让我们全班同学开怀大笑。”这种积极的课堂氛围进一步激发了他对学习的热情和投入。
在学术之外，Truman 在音乐方面也表现出色。他在架子鼓上找到自己的新兴趣所在，并在二年级结束时获得了「音乐进步奖」。去年，他参加了校园音乐会演出，大大提升了他的自信心，令他面对其他新活动时也积极参加，展示自己。预备部音乐学科主任 Mr Smale 对他在音乐方面的进步感到由衷欣喜：
Truman 在架子鼓演奏方面取得了令人瞩目的进步，他已能自信地在多场音乐会上独奏。他逐渐展现出在流行、摇滚和布鲁斯等音乐风格上的多样化能力，同时保持着良好的演奏姿态和精湛的技巧。如今，Truman 正在学习圣三一的 Rock & Pop 课程，进一步提升自己的能力，这充分彰显了他对成长与音乐卓越的追求。
此外，他在二年级的时候还获得了「地理学术奖」，这是由 Ms Wilkinson 提名的，因为她在 Truman 身上看到了他不断发展的全球公民意识和对可持续发展的关注。
享受校园生活每一刻
Truman 不仅在课堂上表现卓越，也充分参与了佛山霍利斯丰富的课外活动。他活跃于多个活动中，包括青少年爱丁堡公爵奖 Junior Duke 项目、科学俱乐部和阅读俱乐部。其中，他最喜欢的是科学俱乐部。“科学俱乐部太有趣了！我们做了很多‘不科学’的科学实验，”Truman 兴奋地说道。
今年，Truman 被任命为预备部学生会成员，他负责收集同学的意见和建议，并在学生会会议中进行汇报。这一责任他完成得非常出色，并充满自豪感。“我喜欢和朋友们交流，帮助他们反映自己的意见，”他说。Mr Corr 先生评论道：
Truman 对学校社区建设做出自己的贡献。他是一个天生的小领袖，成熟和体贴地帮助他的同学们。
Truman 也非常享受学校生活中的社交部分，很喜欢在户外乐园中跟朋友们一起玩耍。他还特别提到他非常喜欢学校饭堂的食物，尤其是每周五供应的抹茶巧克力泡芙——这道甜点无疑为他的校园生活增添了一份别样的乐趣。
家长分享
Truman 的家长对他在佛山霍利斯的成长感到无比欣慰，并高度赞扬学校了帮助他培养自信心、善良品质和学术兴趣，并说道：
Truman 越发礼貌、善良、积极、乐观，变成了一个勇敢的男子汉。他不仅英文进步很大，中文的阅读和书写成果也超乎想象，每一天都会主动完成作业，并且对学习有极大的兴趣。所以入读佛山霍利斯是我们最正确的决定。
无论是积极参与课堂、担任学生会职责，还是充分享受课外活动，Truman 的校园生活充分反映了佛山霍利斯所倡导的全人教育理念。他的成长轨迹生动展现了一个充满关怀的教育环境如何激励学生茁壮成长。我们为他的进步感到由衷的骄傲，并期待见证他未来取得更多的发展和成就！

A Journey of
Growth and Achievement
When Truman transitioned from kindergarten to prep school, he initially found the shift challenging, particularly with English. Reflecting on his experience, he shared, "It wasn't easy at, first because English was more difficult compared to kindergarten, but later, I got better."
His Year 2 teacher, Ms Wilkinson, played a significant role in his progress. “Ms Wilkinson is very helpful and always answers my questions with patience,” Truman said. Ms Wilkinson witnessed his progress firsthand, "Truman's commitment to learning stood out," she remarked.
He blossomed into a confident and curious young man, making fantastic progress in reading and writing. His creativity shone through in every subject, and his passion for learning grew with each challenge.
Truman's love for creative subjects became evident, especially during art lessons. "I like art class because I can be creative and draw and paint," he said. He also enjoyed making models during the Stone Age topic in his recent thematic topic study. His Year 3 teacher, Mr Corr, praised his impressive contributions: "Truman is extremely focused and perseveres even when faced with challenges. His Stone Age settlement model and cave painting were outstanding."
Truman has a special appreciation for Mr Corr: “Mr Corr is kind and funny; he always makes me and my classmates laugh,” Truman shared. This positive classroom environment has further encouraged his enthusiasm for learning.
Beyond academics, Truman has excelled in music, receiving the Year 2 Progress Award for his newfound passion for playing the drums. Performing in a school concert last year boosted his confidence and opened doors to more opportunities to shine. Mr Smale, Head of Prerp Music, is happy to see his progress in Music,
Truman has shown remarkable progress in drumming, confidently performing solos in multiple concerts. He is starting to develop versatility across Pop, Rock, and Blues styles, and demonstrates good posture and a refined technique. Currently, Truman is further honing his skills by working on the internationally-accredited Trinity Rock & Pop syllabus, showcasing his dedication to growth and musical excellence.
He also received the Academic Award for Geography in Year 2, nominated by Ms Wilkinson, a testament to his growing awareness of global citizenship and sustainability.
A Well-Rounded
and Engaged Student
Truman is not only thriving in the classroom but also making the most of extracurricular opportunities at LEH Foshan. He participates in many extracurricular activities, including the Junior Duke programme, science club, and reading club. His favourite is science: “Science Club is so fun! We do cool experiments and make the ‘impossible’ possible,” Truman said enthusiastically.
This year, Truman was appointed as a School Council member. In this leadership role, he gathers ideas and suggestions from his classmates and presents them during meetings—a responsibility he handles with pride. "I like talking to my friends and helping them share their ideas," he explained. According to Mr Corr,
Truman's contributions to the school community are invaluable. He's a natural leader who represents his classmates with maturity and thoughtfulness.
Truman also enjoys the social aspects of school life, describing the playground as a space to bond with friends. He shared that he very much enjoys the food in the canteen and particularly loves the matcha chocolate puff served as a snack on Fridays—a sweet treat that adds to his enjoyment of school life.
