How to take labor class?

Recently, reporters visited various schools in the experimental area to see what the highlights and features of labor classes are!
Learning to sew is so fun? Cloth tiger is a national intangible cultural heritage and a traditional handicraft that has been widely circulated among Chinese people since ancient times.
?Recently, in the labor class of Pingtan Saier Bilingual School, art teacher Chen Jingru held a cloth tiger that stood with its head held high, round, plump, naive and majestic, and explained its sewing skills to the students of Class 5 (2).
Students of Pingtan Saier Bilingual School are making cloth tigers.
There were colorful cloths and sewing boxes on the table. The students listened carefully and then transformed into "little tailors". They first drew a pattern on the cloth, then cut along the drawing lines, and finally carefully threaded the needle to make a cloth tiger.
Most students have never had any experience with sewing, or even threading a needle.
Some sewed crookedly, some students took several minutes to successfully thread the needle, and some students were pricked several times by the needle? Despite this, they did not lose heart, kept trying, and finally found the sewing skills.
When the sewn cloth tigers are displayed in front of their eyes, a sense of accomplishment spreads in the children's hearts.
?great!
Once you learn how to sew, you can also make small toys at home.
?Student Li Zongzhen smiled happily when he saw the cloth tiger he had sewn.
Sewing courses are part of daily life labor courses. In addition to sewing cloth tigers, the colorful door paintings and manhole cover graffiti on campus are also created by students in daily life labor classes.
?Labor classes emphasize hands-on practice. Our school integrates labor classes with art classes to decorate our lives with art, express our own ideas, cultivate students' daily labor skills such as cutting, sewing, and knitting, and also popularize art knowledge.
Let students understand the traditional Chinese culture and feel the beauty of labor in life.
?Chen Jingru said that the current labor class is very popular with students, and more art elements will be incorporated to enrich the content of the labor class.
Class moved to the fruit and vegetable garden ? Today’s third class is labor class!
After reading the class schedule, Lin Zeyu, a student in Class 1 of Pingtan Siyuan School, called on his classmates to pick up hoes and rush to the vegetable garden and fruit orchard to start their favorite labor class in the new semester.
Students from Pingtan Siyuan School are weeding in the fruit and vegetable garden.
In the vegetable garden and orchard, Lin Zeyu and other students shuttled between them, nervous and busy.
Some students dug holes with hoes, some watered the fruits and vegetables in the garden, and some were sorting weeds in the garden.
While wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lin Zeyu told reporters that the crop planting class improved his hands-on ability and gave him a deeper understanding of labor.
The vegetable garden and fruit orchard showed scenes of hard work, and the school cafeteria was also very lively.
The students were busy making dumplings, cleaning pots and cooking pots.
With everyone's concerted efforts, in a short while, plates of fragrant and steaming dumplings came out of the pot. The students rushed to taste the dumplings they had made, and beamed with joy.
Wang Yiqing, a student in Grade 5 (1), said: "This is my first time to experience making dumplings at school, and it's very interesting."
Although the dumplings come out in different shapes, I feel full of accomplishment.
After returning home, I also want to make dumplings for my family to taste.
? It is reported that labor education has been promoted and practiced in Pingtan Siyuan School for seven or eight years.
During the promotion process, the school arranges work content of different difficulties for students of all levels based on age characteristics, such as arranging for lower grade students to experience pulling weeds, and arranging fruit tree pruning for junior high school students.
At the same time, the school also used idle or abandoned land to open vegetable gardens and fruit orchards to provide more practical platforms for students' labor classes.
At the same time, campus sanitation activities are launched every month and included in class evaluations.
?In the new semester, our school will carry out labor education on the basis of existing resources, adding content such as cooking and field planting, allowing children to experience the hard work of working under the sun, improve labor skills, and cultivate their interest in labor.
He Peichun, the principal of Pingtan Siyuan School, told reporters that judging from the current development, the children all like cooking and have learned common dishes such as tomato scrambled eggs and egg soup, and there are also cooking competitions.
In the later stage, the school plans to make full use of the Baiguoyuan, teach children the skills of planting and caring for fruit trees, and continue to carry out a series of labor education courses with the theme of food production.
Everyone is a keeper. Peacocks are timid and like to be quiet. Don’t swarm them or chase them.
