Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, January 19 (Reporter Xie Ying) Fun reading, physical exercise, manual practice... This winter vacation, children can learn knowledge and skills through a variety of activities.
Zhang Zixia, a second-grade student at Huxiang School in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, pestered her father to learn to make his favorite egg soup as soon as he was on vacation. "The school winter vacation science practice homework 'Science in Gastronomy' allows us to learn a gastronomic cooking method and understand the scientific knowledge in it." Zhang Zixia said.

When the kitchen before the meal was busy, Zhang Zixia went in like a whirlwind, learning to beat eggs and stir eggs and steam eggs, and eating egg soup every time was not greasy. "Egg liquid should be salted, must be warmed boiling water, filter foam, steamed eggs should be covered..." Zhang Zixia said while doing it: "When I tried it myself for the first time, the ratio of egg liquid to water was not right, and I ate a 'flooded' egg soup. ”
With the increase in the number of practices and the gradual stabilization of the quality of production, Zhang Zixia began to boldly innovate again, tried to make "milk egg soup", and also learned to make broccoli and meat sauce noodles. "This kind of winter vacation homework is very good, which not only encourages children to do it themselves, but also enhances labor practice, and also allows children to understand the hardships of one meal and one meal." Zhang Zixia's mother said that becoming a "foodie" and "living home" is a skill that can affect the happiness of a child's life.

It's the New Year, Liu Anyu, a second-grade student at Huxiang School, volunteered to become a "little accountant" for her mother to buy New Year goods. "I bought fish, peppers and steaks at the supermarket today, and I was responsible for calculating the unit price and the total price and giving my mother a 'New Year's expenses' bill." Carefully checking the items and calculating the price, Liu Anyu looks like a "little housekeeper", and every account is clearly calculated.
Not only that, Liu Anyu also learned from his mother to cook, and made a hearty "Chinese New Year's Eve meal" with colored clay. The hand-kneaded family portrait hot pot, braised fish, and steamed crab are placed together, which is beautiful, fun and "New Year's flavor".

Every day during the winter vacation, Yan Qianchen, a junior high school student at Yali Yanghu Experimental Middle School in Changsha, starts from morning running and jumping rope. In the morning, she set herself a time for reading; in the afternoon, she planned a time for practical activities.
"I have planned five capabilities to 'add value' in a targeted manner for my strengths and weaknesses." Yan Qianchen told reporters that one is to go to bed early and get up early and insist on the habit of exercising; the second is to practice sketching to achieve skill appreciation; the third is to participate in public welfare activities to add value to love; the fourth is to participate in the "red journey" of the past of Xinhai; the fifth is the wisdom value-added of reading books. Yan Qianchen arranged the daily schedule to a full schedule: "In the past, the winter vacation was spent in busy tuition, but now I can do what I want to do, and precious time cannot be wasted." ”
"Winter vacation is an extension and useful supplement to the daily teaching of school disciplines. Let students go out of the campus, go to the society, participate in various beneficial activities, broaden their horizons, increase their insights, and learn to live in practice, which is the true meaning of winter vacation. Wang Yunxia, principal of Changsha Experimental Primary School, said.
