亲爱的家长们，

本周，我们在全校集会上分享了学校的研学旅行给学生带来的丰富体验，以及研学对于教学的重要性。这些旅行不仅仅是探索新地方，更能够开阔视野、培养坚韧不拔的精神和留下美好的回忆。从增强文化意识、到提升独立能力，每一次旅行都为学生的个人成长和学术发展提供了宝贵的机会。

我们向学生们介绍了即将到来的滑雪之旅，这将是一次既能欣赏皑皑白雪，又能在雪山间尽情滑行的绝佳体验。我们还分享了关于前往西班牙和婆罗洲的研学计划，这些旅行将让学生深入体验不同的文化环境。此外，我们还有一个由尊科教育集团提供的机会，让学生有机会前往美国和英国学习，拓宽他们的国际视野。

这些研学旅行不仅仅是简单的旅行，通过研学，我们能够培养全面发展、具有全球意识的青年。我们鼓励学生们抓住机会，相信在这些旅行中所学到的知识和技能，以及所结下的友谊，将在学生们的成长道路上发挥重要作用。

祝大家周末愉快！

祝好，

Mrs Arden

一起回顾佛山霍利斯预备部每周精彩瞬间！

佛山大剧院＆和美术馆研学活动

本周，我们组织了11，12 和13年级的艺术与设计的学生们前往佛山大剧院与和美艺术馆进行了研学活动。在那里，他们收集资料，分享想法，为他们IGCSE和A-Level课程进行了第一手研究。本次活动的重点，学生们通过素描，拍照和讨论，加深了他们对建筑，雕塑和绘画结构的理解。

在佛山霍利斯，我们期望学生们能够认识到设计与技术这门学科在职业发展方面的潜力。更重要的是，学生们需要从更宽广的视角认识到这门学科的优势，这样他们就能发现课堂之外的更多机遇。

本周，佛山霍利斯7年级的学生们正在学习建筑相关的知识，建造他们梦想中的房子。他们能够使用纸板设计，建立一个房屋模型，随后将会在电脑上绘制并使用激光切割机切割，完成最终的成品。

学生们正在尝试解决现实生活中的实际的设计问题，并与真实的客户进行交流。

他们通过对话来更好地理解问题以及提出解决方案。例如：Konstantin正在尝试为12-13年级的学习区域设计一个照明设备。Konstantin与Mrs Arden进行了关于产品设计的谈话。 他向Mrs Arden展示了一些之前的设计理念，并清楚了解了Mrs Arden的想法和喜好。Konstantin将她的想法融入到了他的作品中。

Mr Spells 是我们设计与艺术的技术专家，亦是一名经验丰富的摄影师。他负责为学生的作品拍照，令学生的作品看上去更专业，并能放到他们的作品集中。

学生们正在使用由Mr McMahon和Mr Benavides录制的视频教程，包括Adobe Photoshop 和 Onshape，通过学习，他们能使用3D打印机来创建自己的设计。

我们引入了符合行业标准的计算机程序。通过这些学会使用这些专业的程序，学生们的自信得到了提升，同时也能帮助他们进一步完善自己的设计作品。

8年级的学生们目前正在学习电子学的相关内容。他们正在制作一个光影投影产品，他们将使用学校提供的专业的设备来完成他们的作品。

9至12年级的学生将学习历史上著名设计师的作品，这有助于激发他们的创意思维，而创意思维在设计流程中非常重要。通过观摩不同的作品，学生们得以提升自身的创新能力，并打造出属于他们的独具匠心的作品。

目前，12年级的学生完成了他们的灯具设计。他们在荷兰风格派运动中得到启发，并将其融入到了他们的灯具设计中。

他们正在进行珠宝设计。在进行任何类型的设计时，考虑现有产品和尺寸都很重要。在下周，他们将使用锡合金打造他们的设计，将他们的想法变成一个真正的产品。

对于关键阶段四和关键阶段五的学生来说，理解设计周期能够帮助他们更好地完成他们的项目。

学术部主任 Dr Kirk

本学年面向教师的第一次教师课堂开放周将在10月21日当周举行。教师们有机会走进其他同事的教室、实验室，观摩不同学科的教学活动。教师们可以观察并思考所见的优秀教学实践，并就那些给他们留下深刻印象的课堂，提出他们见解。参观过程约10分钟，让教师们能快速的了解同事们的教学情况，同时也能够在空闲的时间体验不同的教学方式。

我们鼓励教师们在预备部和中学部的各个阶段和学科之间进行课堂观摩，希望通过这一周的课程观摩，大家能够找到一些新的创意并运用到自己的课堂上。我们的教学政策提倡所有教师能够相互合作，互相分享教学方法，采用多样化的教学方法来满足不同学习风格的学生需求。教师课堂开放周正是实现这些目标的途径之一。参与课堂观摩次数最多的老师还可以获得奖励！

Dear Parents,

This week, within our assembly we focused on the enriching experiences that school trips offer, and why they play such a vital role in a student's education. These trips are not just about exploring new places; they are about opening minds, building resilience, and creating memories that last a lifetime. From developing cultural awareness to fostering independence, each journey provides unique opportunities for personal and academic growth.

We took the time to remind our students about the excitement of the upcoming ski trip, which promises to combine physical challenge with breathtaking scenery. We also shared more information about our trips to Spain and Borneo, both of which will immerse students in new cultures and environments. In addition, we announced a truly unique opportunity, courtesy of Trumptech, for students to study abroad in the United States and England – a chance to broaden their global perspective and build international connections.

These experiences are more than just travel; they are integral to our mission of developing well-rounded, globally aware young people. We encourage students to embrace these opportunities, knowing that the skills and friendships formed on these trips will be with them long after they return.

Have a great weekend!

Best Regards

Mrs Arden

Trip to the Foshan Theatre and Hem Museum

This week Y11, 12 and 13 Art and Design students visited the Foshan Theatre and Hem Museum where they carried out first-hand research to gather imagery and ideas to support them in the development of their IGCSE and A Level coursework. The focus of the trip was to explore structure in architecture, sculpture and paintings, which they did through making on-site sketches, taking photos, and discussion.

At LEH, I want the students to have a broad understanding of what Design Technology can offer, especially careerwise. It is important for the students to see the benefits of the subject in a broader sense, enabling them to look at life opportunities beyond the classroom.

This week, students at LEH have explored various aspects of Design Technology. Year 7 students are currently working on their Architecture project to produce their dream house. This project gives them the opportunity to design and model a house using cardboard, and then develop a final model which will be drawn on the computer and cut out on the laser cutter to create a final model.

Year 13 students are tackling real life design problems, using actual clients.

They have conversations to better understand the problems and how they could be solved. For instance, Konstantin is developing lighting for the school's sixth form area, considering the school's branding. By meeting with Mrs Arden, he has started to incorporate her vision into his project. Through showing her various design concepts from the past, Konstantin has been able to discuss what she likes and integrate this into his design work, where he is creatively thriving.

We are very fortunate to have Mr Spells as a technician. He is also an experienced photographer who takes photographs of the students' models to make their work look more professional when adding it to their portfolios.

The students are also using video tutorials created by Mr  McMahon and Mr Benavides, tailored to the projects they are working on. These range from Adobe Photoshop to Onshape for use with 3D printers to create their own designs.

These are industry standard computer programs, introduced to the students in their ECA programs and lessons, increasing their confidence and enabling them to further develop their designs.

Year 8 students are currently working on electronics as they build a light projection product, enhancing key workshop skills using the excellent facilities available in the design technology area.

From Year 9 to Year 12, students are introduced to key designers from the past to help with their creativity, which is an important part of the design process. By looking at different ideas, they can grow their own creativity and produce a unique final product.

Currently, Year 12 students have finished their lamp designs inspired by the De Stijl movement. They have examined this iconic design movement and how they could develop it into the lights they were tasked with creating.

They are now developing jewelry designs for their major project. Considering existing products and sizing is important when developing any kind of design. Next week, they will cast their designs in metal using pewter to turn their ideas into real concepts.

Understanding the design cycle process will also help students with their major projects at KS4 and KS5, which is key to their success in this subject.

The first ‘Open Door’ week for all teaching staff will be held the week beginning 21st October. This offers a chance for staff to visit colleagues’ classrooms, laboratories and workshops to observe what is going on in other subject areas, reflect on the good practice that they have seen and comment on aspects of teaching that they were impressed with or could use in their own classrooms. Visits are only usually about ten minutes long, giving a snapshot of what is happening but allowing time for staff to experience several varying pedagogical approaches in the time they have free.

Staff are encouraged to observe lessons across the Prep and Secondary schools, Key Stages and subjects, hopefully coming away from the week with ideas to use in their own classes. Our Teaching and Learning policy encourages all teachers to ‘collaborate with colleagues to share best practices’ and ‘utilise a variety of teaching methods to cater to different learning styles’; Open Door week is one of the ways in which this happens. And there are prizes for the teachers who make the most visits!
