starting from this fall semester, all compulsory education schools in the city have made overall optimization of recess arrangements. in principle, a 15-minute recess is implemented to guide teachers and students to walk out of the classroom, go outdoors, and walk into the sunshine, enjoy a healthier and more vibrant campus life, and promote the healthy development of students' physical and mental health. after the optimization of recess, how do schools adjust their schedules? how do they organize activities during recess? let's take a look at how these schools arrange it.
make good use of "small breaks" by combining movement and stillness
schools such as beijing no. 161 middle school and chuiyangliu central primary school jindu branch make good use of "small breaks" by combining dynamic and static methods.
beijing no. 161 middle school is one of the first schools to explore and implement the "15-minute break", proposing to "seize every minute of learning, rather than seize every minute to study". by ensuring that students have 15 minutes of break between classes, the school guides students to be "time management role models" and improve the concentration and efficiency of classroom learning. when designing the school culture and spatial environment, no. 161 middle school fully considers the various needs of teachers and students during breaks, and through the careful design of corridors, plantations, art exhibition areas, etc., the campus can be stopped anywhere. the school also implements open management of sports equipment, setting up sports equipment sharing areas in public areas such as playgrounds and table tennis tables, so that various sports equipment such as basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, etc. are within reach and can be used freely.
at the beginning of the new semester, the jindu branch of chuiyangliu central primary school fully implemented the 15-minute break between classes to enrich the class arrangements and ensure that students have fun. it has brought new vitality and atmosphere to the campus. teachers have also actively changed their roles from managers of break activities to co-participants. teachers skip rope and play games with students during breaks, which has narrowed the distance between them and students, and the relationship between teachers and students has become more harmonious. on the playground, students who love sports run and play to their heart's content. some kick shuttlecocks in groups of three or five, and the colorful shuttlecocks fly up and down in the air, like jumping notes; some pick up skipping ropes and jump quickly, and the ropes whistle under their feet. in the classroom, many students also choose to use these precious 15 minutes to relax and interact. they either sit together to discuss communication issues, and the sparks of thinking continue to collide in the communication; or share their interesting things and experiences during the holidays, and bursts of laughter echo in the classroom.
expand the forms and content of recess activities
while ensuring the length of recess time, some primary and secondary schools in beijing have also taken the initiative to "tap potential" and expand the forms and content of recess activities. not only have they set up educational games such as mazes in the corridors, but each class is equipped with a toy box and a miniature library with chess and handicraft games, as well as various types of books that students can choose from.
at the primary school affiliated to beijing medical university, the activity area of the campus is less than 20 mu. the school has proposed a strategy of "small venue, big sports" to allow children to fully exercise in a limited space. the school has divided the playground into 9 activity areas and set up 9 activity items such as shuttlecock kicking, skipping rope, hopscotch, and crawling on hands and feet for students to choose from.
at beijing no. 11 zhongguancun science city school, the school's physical education teaching and research group has developed a series of recess game courses based on the characteristics of the school's students. the facilities and equipment required for this course are very simple, and only need to be pasted on the ground with environmentally friendly tape. once the ground game needs to be upgraded, it only needs to be torn off lightly. at the same time, the school also actively mobilizes students' participation, allowing students to find suitable materials themselves and plan different recess games with teachers.
at the primary school affiliated to communication university of china, the school sports team also studies and promotes fun sports games suitable for recess based on the laws of students' physical and mental development, and guides each class to scientifically arrange recess activities to achieve the purpose of scientific exercise, combining education with entertainment, and promoting students' physical and mental health.
smartly "even out" time and scientifically set up a new timetable
some schools have cleverly arranged their schedules, using the time during long breaks to even out the class schedules scientifically.
in order to follow the laws of student development and enrich the content of recess activities, the tongzhou campus of the affiliated high school of beijing normal university has designed and developed indoor and outdoor activity resources suitable for students to participate in during recess, actively meeting the needs of students' growth and development: 30 minutes of calisthenics are arranged in the morning, and students are organized to conduct unified outdoor exercises. in addition to calisthenics and concentrated running and other exercise forms, physical education teachers provide students with targeted project guidance.
in accordance with the requirements of superior documents, the tongzhou campus of the capital normal university affiliated high school has added a 30-minute break in the afternoon on top of the 15-minute break. open spaces for sports, arts, educational games, and activities have been arranged for students to choose from, helping them to adjust themselves, release stress, and promote their healthy physical and mental development.
peking university affiliated primary school shijingshan school has adopted a new schedule at the beginning of the new semester. taking the winter schedule as an example, the first class is from 8:20 to 9:00, the second class is from 9:15 to 9:55, there is a 30-minute break from 9:55 to 10:25, lunch break from 12:00 to 1:30 noon, the first class in the afternoon is from 1:40 to 14:20, and then there is another 30-minute break, the second class is at 14:50, and the get out of class ends at 15:30.
"the adjusted timetable ensures six classes a day, with two small breaks and one large break in the morning, and one large break in the afternoon. in addition, there are two after-school services after 15:45, which are voluntary for students to participate in, and classes end at 17:20." the relevant person in charge of the peking university affiliated primary school shijingshan school has this account in mind.
"the extra 5 minutes in each small break are actually obtained by optimizing the big break and the time for preparation before class and rearranging them. the most direct change is that we put the 5-minute eye exercises in the morning and afternoon into the 30-minute big break. the morning is for break exercises, and the afternoon is for outdoor exercises." a relevant person in charge of the shijingshan school affiliated to peking university said that the fragmented time for preparation before class in the morning and afternoon has also been "evened out" into the 15-minute small breaks to ensure that students have a balanced day in school, and encourage students to learn to arrange their time reasonably and prepare well before class while enjoying the relaxation time after class.
