The third grade of the school has a practical characteristic course "Happy Farm", six small vegetable gardens are opened in front of the teaching building, and a ploughing ceremony is held every spring, and various vegetable and fruit seeds are distributed for on-site sowing. In the autumn, the school will hold a picking festival to harvest the fruits of labor, which is an important position for children to carry out labor education. A parent told him that his child usually doesn't like to eat radishes and other vegetables, but after the child participated in the "Happy Farm" picking festival, he happily took home a lot of radishes, and in the evening he made a radish feast with his parents - fried radish, radish soup, pickled radish, and ate it with relish.
