The break time between primary and secondary schools in many places has been extended to fifteen minutes, creating a "sunshine break" to make children sweat and have a light in their eyes. After a pleasant bell rang, a crisp and slightly childish voice sounded: "Class is over, please look out and protect your eyesight" - this is the voice of students from Dongjiaominxiang Primary School in Beijing. Afterwards, there was a soothing music ending. The end of class bell has changed from 3 seconds to 30 seconds. Fu Xiaojing, the principal of Dongjiaominxiang Primary School, told reporters, "This is to remind the teacher to end the teaching work of this class and let the children start a happy break. The extended bell is very helpful in avoiding the phenomenon of dragging the class. Starting from the new semester, a 15 minute break between classes has become a standard practice in many primary and secondary schools in provinces, regions, and cities. Beijing, Quanzhou in Fujian, Xinwu District in Wuxi, Jiangsu, and other cities have extended the break time from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Although 5 minutes may not seem like much, as Vice Minister of Education Wang Jiayi said at a press conference, the extension of break time is a significant "small incision" that extends the form and content of the "Five Education". It "allows children to move and run, see more sunshine, sweat on their bodies, and shine in their eyes." In the first month of school, reporters found during visits that many primary and secondary schools have quietly undergone some new changes in the "big break". The once quiet break between classes is now filled with laughter, cheers of exercise, and cheers. Adapting to local conditions and developing distinctive campus activities into brands, the increasing "quietness" during breaks in primary and secondary schools has been a topic of concern for many people. The students are quiet in class, but still not lively after class. Correspondingly, the phenomenon of "four little" such as small chubby bumps and small glasses is increasing year by year. Will the situation change when the break between classes is extended? Zhou Guozhen, the academic director of Dongjiao Minxiang Primary School, observed that after the break was extended, children began to bring toys. "Some students bring flip ropes to school and play with their classmates during break. Some children bring playing cards not to play, but to 'raise' them. They build cards from various angles, and how to keep them from falling tests their hands-on ability and various knowledge reserves such as physics and mathematics," Zhou Guozhen said. Will there still be students unwilling to leave the classroom? In Zhou Guozhen's observation, this situation is not common. Every time she walks down the stairs during break time, she always sees groups of senior students rushing up and down the stairs. "The fourth grade classroom faces the playground, and the children have the highest enthusiasm, while other grades are also full of vitality and vigor. They play shuttlecock, jump house, keep table tennis on the ground, and catch chicks with eagles... The children enjoy the happy time during break time to the fullest." Fu Xiaojing told reporters that the campus area is small and the activity venues are limited. In order to allow children to fully engage in activities in limited space, the school divides different areas on the playground, provides basketball, hula hoops, jump rings and other equipment, and also distributes a "health gift package" consisting of sports equipment such as skipping rope, sandbags, and soft balls in the class. In addition to encouraging children to engage in sports, we also use reading corners to allow students who enjoy reading to enjoy the fun of reading during breaks. We also provide puzzle game learning tools for each class, such as nine links, layered stacking, topology, mortise and tenon joints, Luban locks, etc., to enrich students' break time, cultivate their interests and hobbies, and improve their hands-on abilities. Miyun School of Chaoyang Experimental Primary School in Beijing has designed a variety of break time activities based on the characteristics of students in different grades, organizing students to step out of the classroom and engage in traditional games. Principal Xu Guowen introduced that teachers and classmates jump on rubber bands, throw sandbags, roll iron rings, and jump grids together. "Traditional games such as Huarong Road, Nine Rings, and Divine Dragon Tail Swinging have also 'returned'. We hope that traditional games can become a happy choice for children during breaks." The reporter learned in an interview that in many places, distinctive campus activities have been formed during breaks, and even become 'brands' - Chaoyang District in Beijing combines large breaks with labor education, opens up campus planting areas and animal breeding areas, divides class responsibility fields, arranges animal administrators, and enriches students' break time; Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, has divided schools into 10 sports themed areas based on their educational and regional characteristics, including martial arts, roller skating, dragon and lion dance, and bamboo pole dance. Each school promotes a "1+X" model to promote the Sunshine Sports Break, with "1" being the characteristic of the area and "X" being the characteristic of the school, actively carrying out various forms of Sunshine Sports Break activities. Innovative versions of characteristic inter class sports such as diabolo, rhythm skipping rope, folding fan exercise, bamboo pole dance, etc., such as "letting a hundred flowers bloom", some schools have also created beautiful and easy to learn archery radio exercises, volleyball radio exercises, etc; In Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, the "Minnan Children's Play" activity has been added to the local break time, and traditional ethnic sports such as spinning tops, cuqiu, and crossbow shooting have returned to campus... Optimizing the combination to extend the break time without occupying the classroom and after school time. Will the extension of break time occupy study time, even after school and meals? Will it make the already limited school time even tighter, leading to procrastination? Fu Xiaojing told reporters that the school has avoided this phenomenon through scientific arrangements. The extra 5 minutes during each break are rearranged and combined based on optimizing the original large break and break preparation time. After the adjustment, it is ensured that there are 6 classes per day, with two 15 minute small breaks and one 30 minute large break in the morning, and two 15 minute small breaks and one 30 minute large break in the afternoon. This ensures that children have more time to relax and adjust their state. "The relevant person in charge of the Education Commission of Chaoyang District, Beijing, told reporters that in order to ensure the total rest time of students, Chaoyang District advocates that schools flexibly adjust the length of class hours based on the content, characteristics, and order of the curriculum, while ensuring that it does not affect the overall teaching tasks, and actively adapt to changes in break time. The reporter learned that schools such as Xinghe Experimental School and Chen Jinglun Middle School Ethnic Branch in Chaoyang District have adjusted the length of class hours based on different types of courses such as practical courses and appreciation courses, with adjustments ranging from 1 hour, 40 minutes, and 30 minutes. In Xinwu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, the relevant person in charge stated that the 15 minute break between classes this autumn was also optimized through the overall coordination of school time. Ensure a 15 minute break between classes, with one physical education class per day, and guarantee that students have at least 100 minutes of physical exercise time on campus every day. "In Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, this autumn semester, it is also advocated that the compulsory education primary school stage implement a 15 minute break between classes. After optimizing and adjusting the break time, the morning arrival time, afternoon departure time, and lunch break time for primary school students will remain unchanged. During the interview, the reporter learned that various regions have included behaviors such as "delaying classes in disguise" and "early classes in disguise" as a deduction item in the relevant assessment mechanisms, which occupy students' break time. The 15 minute break between classes is equally important as the 45 minute break in class, and teachers need to move from being managers of breaks to designers and co participants of breaks, "said a person in charge of the Basic Education Department of the Ministry of Education. Teaching students according to their aptitude has extended the time for children to truly become the masters of break time. How can we make children truly become the masters of break time? Fu Xiaojing believes that the next step is for schools to cultivate children's ability to plan breaks and manage time. In the first grade of elementary school's morality and rule of law class, there is a lesson called 'Ten Minute Plan for Interclass'. In lower grades, teachers should teach children to develop good study habits, such as going to the bathroom, drinking water, and changing teaching aids during breaks. In the middle and upper grades, teachers need to teach children which habits, how to cultivate their moral qualities, and safety awareness are all the next things to consider Fu Xiaojing said. In Chaoyang District, Beijing, these issues have been identified as the focus of the next steps of work. In the first stage, children should be taught how to play. Physical education teachers should design outdoor activities that are suitable for students' age and physiological characteristics, and arrange the content, process, and amount of activities in advance, which should conform to natural laws. In the second stage, children should be led to play, and innovative activities should be organized and carried out by the class as a unit to form characteristics. In the third stage, students should play independently and safely, clarify relevant safety and discipline requirements, manage outdoor activities during breaks independently, arrange activity time reasonably, and use physical cards such as' green cards' and 'yellow cards' to encourage and restrain students. "At Hujialou Central Primary School in Chaoyang District, Beijing, projects such as" My Break, I Make the Decision "and" Flipping Break to Play "have been launched. Enable students to discover real problems in practice, Become the master of the break time. Many schools also combine the optimization and adjustment of break time with interdisciplinary theme practice. The Affiliated Experimental School of Capital Normal University has developed interdisciplinary and entertaining sports activities. Lower grade mathematics teachers have optimized the design of the "Jumping House" game based on their knowledge of "understanding flat shapes". Students use flat shapes to stitch different styles of patterns, and different patterns correspond to different exercise modes, such as single foot jumping, double foot jumping, single hand ground jumping, etc., which not only increases the difficulty but also adds fun. During the interview, the reporter learned that many schools are preparing to collect information through parent interviews, family committees, and other methods to understand the effectiveness of activities, and will also dynamically focus on the comprehensive physical and mental development of students. Many places have prepared relevant records such as "myopia rate, obesity rate, scoliosis rate" to understand and record the situation of students with special physical conditions, and teach them according to their aptitude. The reporter also saw many comments from parents expressing support and providing suggestions. The break between classes is longer, I hope to see a more relaxed and sunny teenage style Believe it, this is the common wish of every parent. (New Society)
