Labor education in the new era is an important part of promoting the simultaneous development of five educations, and it is also an effective measure to cultivate new people who understand, know and love labor. Based on the actual situation in rural areas, Xipo Primary School in Baicaoyuan Town, Huining County, deeply cultivates local culture, takes labor education as an important way to improve students' comprehensive literacy and implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality, moves the classroom to the field, and further guides students to relive the memory of farming, enhance patriotism and love for the hometown, and aspire to rural modernization.
Xipo Primary School strives to create a campus environment with the theme of farming culture, in the campus hometown memory hall, a variety of farming tools and traditional daily necessities are neatly placed, and teachers explain their uses and usage to students; the school also carries out handicraft activities, allowing students to create agricultural machinery in the form of hand-copied newspapers and paintings, so as to further promote students' understanding and awareness of traditional farming culture. In the other corner of the campus, all the teachers and students picked up hoes to open up the wasteland and reclaimed the "half acre of land" as a farming demonstration garden, so that students can experience the hardships and joys of labor in the process of participating in labor, and learn to respect their parents and workers.
Liu Yingye, teacher of Xipo Primary School in Baicaoyuan Town: Our Xipo Primary School attaches great importance to the inheritance of farming culture, and explains some tools for production and life in the farming era to students in the hometown memory hall. The school also attaches great importance to labor education, and we rely on the school's agricultural demonstration garden, and in March, teachers and students planted vegetables together. Through planting activities, students can cultivate the consciousness of labor, realize the glory and importance of labor, and acquire the knowledge of labor, such as how to grow vegetables, and also acquire labor skills. We felt that it was very rewarding and the students gained a lot.
With the rapid development of economy and society, although they grew up in rural areas, students do not often contact and use agricultural tools, and now through the "second classroom", they visit farming tools and participate in the farming process, so as to learn to respect nature, cherish food, further cultivate labor consciousness and life consciousness, and enhance their sense of identity and pride in traditional Chinese culture.
Liu Jiashuo, a fifth-grade student at Xipo Primary School in Baicaoyuan Town: Today we are in the school's hometown memory hall, and through the teacher's explanation, we learned that the previous farming tools were very simple, and now our daily necessities have been very convenient. As a Young Pioneer in the new era, I want to study hard and contribute to the development of my hometown in the future.
Yang Pengjuan, a sixth-grade student at Xipo Primary School in Baicaoyuan Town: Today I came to the school's planting base, and my classmates visited the vegetables we planted together in March, and found that they have already emerged.
Xipo Primary School in Baicaoyuan Town allows students to go into the fields to learn the knowledge and skills of planting crops, fruits and vegetables, experience the fun of farming, create a characteristic brand of the school from the actual situation, and build a solid foundation for cultivating people with virtue with labor education. In the future, the school will continue to practice agricultural labor education, and strive to achieve the goal of cultivating students' labor literacy and promoting the healthy growth of students by carrying out a variety of labor education and teaching activities.
Cheng Jinhui, principal of Xipo Primary School in Baicaoyuan Town: Based on the basic school situation that the school is located in the countryside, our school fully explores the educational role of farming culture on students, and establishes a school-based curriculum and labor courses with local characteristics based on farming and planting and the opening of classic agricultural tools exhibition halls as measures, so that students can experience happiness and increase knowledge in labor. For example, in the plantation, students can experience digging potatoes, weeding, and peeling corn, and use these local resources to integrate into students' teaching in the form of daily life.
