In the Duying forest with mottled tree shadows, dendrobium trees planted by students are covered with thick trunks of Duying trees.

"Should we choose camphor tree, willow tree or Duying tree?" "How to plant dendrobium to make it survive better"... Students worked in groups to inspect various types of trees on campus to find which tree species are more suitable for planting dendrobium.

In the first month of planting, some students watered the dendrobium almost every day. Later, they gradually discovered that overwatering is not conducive to the growth of dendrobium, and watering once or twice a week is appropriate.

By forming a project team, students experienced "situation introduction, clarifying tasks - collecting information, formulating plans - independent collaboration, specific implementation - guidance, process inspection - displaying results, revision and improvement - summary and evaluation, expansion and extension."

The whole process of project-based learning.

This is the "labor project-based learning of planting dendrobium trees" at Huanglong No. 3 Primary School in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is also a new way of presenting labor education.

As a model school for labor education in Wenzhou City, Huanglong No. 3 Primary School has built an on-campus labor practice base, including a succulent plant planting area, a dendrobium planting area, and a Jiahe vegetable and fruit plantation... Students can truly carry out learning activities based on problem solving during labor practice.

In addition to creating a good labor atmosphere, the school is also constantly improving the new labor education curriculum system: school-based courses at the school level include skillful dyeing workshops, aerospace model aircraft, Western pastry making, Ou embroidery, etc.; at the family level, serialized home economics courses divided into years

, such as the first-grade self-care and self-reliance course, the third-grade happy planting course, the fifth-grade gourmet cooking course, etc.; at the social level, such as the "Little Banker" of Lucheng Rural Commercial Bank, the "Little Salesperson" of 5050 Plaza, and the "Little Conservationist" of the Flower and Tree Market

" and other career experience activities.

“Labor education in the new era does not narrowly refer to physical labor or direct production labor, nor can it be narrowed to planting labor, but is based on practical activities of physical labor and material production labor, exploratory innovative labor, and artistic aesthetic labor.

" Principal Ye Kebiao said.

Under his leadership, schools, families, and society help each other to form a virtuous circle, using labor education as a breakthrough in the integration of the "five educations" to achieve "cultivating morality through labor, increasing intelligence through labor, strengthening the body through labor, and strengthening the body through labor."

The educational goal of "cultivating beauty through labor and innovating through labor".

"Exploring interdisciplinary integration - establishing a long-term mechanism for labor education" In March last year, the State Council issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Universities, Middle Schools and Primary Schools in the New Era", making labor education a hot topic in current education research.

In the context of the new era, labor education should have a higher intention and position.

Starting from 2018, Huanglong No. 3 Primary School has been actively exploring the construction of a new system of labor education in the new era, establishing a long-term mechanism for labor education, and giving full play to the role of labor education in comprehensive education in conjunction with the school's "Plain and Beautiful Youth" education goal.

Curriculum is the foothold of educational reform.

At Huanglong No. 3 Primary School, every subject has a labor element, reflecting the awareness of subject integration.

For example, courses such as ethics and rule of law and Chinese language focus on the cultivation of labor concepts and attitudes, mathematics courses focus on the cultivation of vocational awareness and labor skills, and science courses focus on the cultivation of hands-on skills.

"The textbooks provide many situations and materials for labor education. The types of labor and workers involved are extremely rich, and they are close to the students' real life. Our mathematics group has sorted out the situations and content related to labor education throughout the primary school stage. In the subject teaching

Infiltrate labor education," said mathematics teacher Lin Ke.

When teaching "Tree Planting Problem", Link used "saplings" to simulate labor, allowing students to verify the rationality of their various guesses; after teaching "Application of Percents" and other knowledge, Link used shopping mall promotion as an entry point to provide

Students built a simulated trading platform where they acted as workers from different professions.

Science subjects also have many intersections with labor education.

The "Animal Life" unit of the third-grade science textbook involves raising silkworms. Science teacher Li An worked with students through project-based learning to design and build a warm and comfortable home for silkworm babies.

Driven by real problems, students learned about the long history of sericulture in my country, as well as the living conditions and four different growth periods of silkworms, and then reviewed the information to learn sericulture techniques.

By drawing design patterns, students made real models and designed comfortable and distinctive silkworm houses.

Combined with the school's unique resource - mulberry trees, students picked mulberries, raised silkworms, spun silk, and peeled cocoons. They actively observed and recorded carefully during the activities, and felt the life of silkworms and the joy brought by labor.

In addition to integrating with regular subjects, the school's labor education also integrates with expanded courses and theme activity courses.

Silk scarves printed with plant patterns, mirrors and storage bags with homemade blue calico elements, princess skirts decorated with osmanthus leaf vein specimens... This is a skillful dyeing workshop course that has been offered by the school for 5 years.

In addition to learning to dye cloth, students also produced a variety of creative cultural works.

There is a vegetable and fruit plantation on the roof of the school. This is a "sky planting base" for vegetables and fruits developed by teachers. Teacher Yan Liren is responsible for leading students to plant fruits and vegetables in all seasons.

During the harvest season, in addition to sharing part of the fruits of labor, teachers will also organize students to set up charity stalls at the school gate and use the income from the charity sale to carry out charity donations.

Yan Liren said: “During the planting activities, students experienced the whole process of planting and learned the planting techniques; when the fruits matured, every student felt the joy of harvesting.
