It is not surprising that the rooftop of the campus has been transformed into a "botanical garden" and "farm", where students raise flowers, rice and vegetables, and experience the joy of harvest in their labor.
Labor education, as one of the "five educations" of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor, has been increasingly valued by schools.

Grow rice, eggplant...... Students are "busy harvesting" on campus
"It's so fragrant to eat the rice I grow!" In Hongya Primary School in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, the children have such a blessing. Without leaving the school, Hongya students can grow rice and vegetables on campus, experience the feeling of "sweat drops of grass in the soil" of the farmer's uncle, and enjoy the happiness and fruits of labor. According to Zeng Donghuai, secretary of the party branch and principal of the school, the school has built a labor education base of 1,500 square meters in the open space on the campus, which is rare in the Shenzhen campus. Here, students can not only experience rice planting, but also enjoy a variety of compound labor course resources such as aquaponics, hydroponic planting, swamp planting, rainbow cup second cultivation planting, one-meter vegetable garden planting, stream ecological planting, etc. Combined with the diversified and compound farming ecosystem of the school's labor education practice base, the school has built a "labor +" compound curriculum based on project-based learning to cultivate students' scientific awareness and love for agriculture, and further implement the simultaneous development of five educations.
"At school, you can experience watering tomatoes, loosening the soil, and planting flowers with your classmates in the 'Build a Garden', which is very fun and fun. Earlier, the teacher gave us a lesson on making fruit tea. When I got home, I had a hands-on experience of making fruit tea with my father, which made me feel the joy of working with my family. Xie Qian, a second-year junior high school student at South China Experimental School in Longhua District, Shenzhen, recalled. The "Co-construction Garden" at the entrance of the school is designed and planted by students, and the "Star Farm" and "Rice Paradise" created on the roof of the building are planted by teachers and students according to the season, such as rape flowers, sunflowers, rice, winter wheat, pumpkins, etc., and students can experience the whole process from planting, maintenance, observation, picking to cooking. At present, the school will usher in the new year of rapeseed harvesting.
The students of Tianyu Experimental School in Longgang District, Shenzhen, worked hard in the labor base "Yu Gengyuan", carried out the theme study of "24 solar terms", and carried out scientific agricultural practice in accordance with the natural rhythm. Shenzhen Senior High School Longgang School (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen High Longgang School") has also created two labor bases, "Empty Cui Garden" and "Half an Acre Pastoral", Jingbao reporter saw that in the labor base, the fiery Chaotian pepper, delicate cucumbers, tomatoes to be red, etc. are full of vitality, and each piece of land is named and designed by each class of students according to the vegetables planted and the views on the growth of life. Wang Qinxian, a second-year junior high school student at Shenzhen High School Longgang School, introduced that the vegetable plot of their class is called "Thriving Xiangyang Class", and the planting is eggplant, "In the process of planting, we have encountered many problems, and the teachers will teach us to solve the problem in the most concise and clear way according to the actual situation, and extend to teach us more knowledge, 'The story of the butterfly and the little cocoon bee' is the most representative." It turned out that in the process of planting vegetables, vegetables encountered a large area of cabbage worms and small cocoon wasps raging, the school's teacher Jin Longjun led the students to eliminate insect pests in a scientific way, and extended another topic: led the students to catch cabbage worms and small cocoon bees, observed the growth process of insects, and watched the step-by-step butterfly change from cabbage worms to cabbage butterflies.
Previously, the children of Huahao Kindergarten in Buji Street, Longgang District, under the leadership of the teacher, learned and experienced the "autumn", washing and drying the crops that could not be eaten, and storing them. The children of Xinsheng No. 2 Kindergarten watered with their hearts and spent time with time to finally usher in the harvest of peanuts, and also understood that although peanuts are not easy to see in the soil, each of its small flowers is telling everyone: "I" is growing.

Measures
Students can "look at the store" and "be a little teacher" during the holidays, and there are abundant labor practice venues inside and outside the school
As one of the first batch of labor education demonstration schools in Shenzhen and a demonstration school for education evaluation reform in Shenzhen, Hongya Primary School in Bao'an District combines labor education with the comprehensive quality evaluation of students, allowing students to purchase course experience coupons with the "campus coins" obtained by hard work, and participate in labor course learning with course experience coupons. For example, the school carries out the course of "Rice is Beautiful", in which students experience the whole learning process of "ploughing, transplanting, fertilizing, harvesting, threshing, drying, grain selection, and rice milling", so that students can have an in-depth understanding of the life of rice, and understand the principles and methods of using sickles, hoes, threshing machines, blowers, and rice mills in farming.
Schools are also constantly developing new areas of work on campus. More than 200 fruit trees in the school's "Hundred Fruit Garden" were planted by teachers and students, the triangular space under the stairs of the teaching building was designed and arranged by students, and the large murals at the stairs leading to the "Star Farm" were also hand-painted by students and teachers. The school also has a special space on the first floor to exhibit the tools of campus construction workers and the development process of the school, so that students can feel the process of "starting from scratch" and feel the "power of labor".
Shenzhen High School Longgang School allows students to design an "ID card" for each tree on campus, organizes students to maintain cute rabbits, and teaches students traditional culture such as pottery, ocarina, and incense sachets, and masters the basic production methods...... The primary school affiliated to the Longhua District Institute of Educational Sciences, a century-old school, has created 23 themed labor education spaces of "three museums, ten gardens and ten squares", allowing students to work in real scenes, building a labor education teaching team composed of full-time and part-time teachers, parent volunteers and social volunteers, and developing a visual evaluation system for labor education based on "Internet +", which is committed to allowing students to "learn life knowledge, practice survival skills, and understand the meaning of life".
The school actively links social resources. In Guanlan Ancient Ruins, South China Experimental School has set up a "word letter" experience hall to exhibit cultural and creative products with the theme of Chinese characters, extend labor education to outside the school, integrate traditional cultural learning, aesthetic education and hands-on ability, social interaction, financial training, etc., students can sign up for weekends and winter and summer vacations and other holidays to "see the store" and be a "little teacher" to explain to visitors, so far the experience hall has received 400,000 people. With Maluan Mountain Country Park and Xianhu Botanical Garden as research bases and the Longgang District Social Practice Base, Shenzhen High Longgang School leads students to conduct social surveys and infiltrate environmental protection practice teaching, such as garbage classification and vegetation protection. All this just shows that labor does not only stay in labor classes and campuses, but is carefully developed in various schools, and there are "research resorts" of labor education inside and outside the school, and classrooms are everywhere.

Jiang Yike, a second-year junior high school student at South China Experimental School, also feels that labor is very important, "We can learn teamwork, as well as the character of perseverance, carefulness, and never giving up, which I think is exactly what our middle school students need now."
"My child often excitedly tells me that he has gone to the school's starry sky farm to observe the sunflowers and see the plants in the rice garden grow taller...... When he got home, he would take the initiative to tidy up his room and help sweep the floor, which made him feel that his daily work skills had improved this year.
