on september 3, the playground of qinghai lake road primary school in suqian economic development zone was bustling with activity. there were a variety of sports activities such as football, caterpillar fun competitions, and obstacle running training. students were sweating profusely in the happy sports, exercising their bodies and improving their physical fitness.

bao wenquan, a physical education teacher at the school, introduced that in terms of institutional guarantees, the school has formulated a detailed implementation plan in accordance with the spirit of the superior documents, clarified requirements such as class schedules, teaching content and teaching objectives, and established a physical education work assessment mechanism, incorporating indicators such as physical education class openings, teaching quality, and student participation into the school's annual assessment system.

after implementing the "one physical education class a day", what new feelings do teachers have in teaching? bao wenquan said: "it is obvious that the children are more energetic. we have more time to guide students to participate in various sports activities. seeing them gain happiness and growth through sports, as teachers, i feel a special sense of accomplishment."

however, the increase in class hours also brings some challenges. according to the relevant person in charge of the school, the shortage of physical education teachers is prominent. on the one hand, the school has expanded the scale of teacher recruitment to attract more outstanding sports professionals; on the other hand, it encourages existing teachers to transfer to physical education teachers, and hires part-time physical education teachers or re-employs retired teachers. in response to the problem of insufficient sports venues, the school optimized the layout of existing venues, improved utilization, and arranged physical education classes at different times; strengthened cooperation with surrounding schools and community sports venues to achieve resource sharing; and sought support from the government and all sectors of society to increase the construction and renovation of venue facilities.

as a physical education teacher, bao wenquan has many expectations for children's physical exercise. "i hope that more and more children can truly love sports, cultivate perseverance and teamwork spirit in sports, and develop a good habit of lifelong exercise." bao wenquan said.
