Basketball, volleyball, badminton, martial arts, swimming... At 3:30 pm, the campus of Shanghai East Experimental School is bustling with activity, with children freely playing on the playground and in the gymnasium. It is natural for children to enjoy sports, and schools should provide as much support as possible for their different interests, strengths, and differences in engaging in sports Shen Hong, the principal of Shidong Experimental School, is a special grade physical education teacher. He believes that the school's physical education work should first make more children fall in love with sports, develop sports habits, and master sports skills that can accompany them for life. Primary school emphasizes the improvement of physical activity ability, junior high school cultivates interest in various sports experiences, and high school focuses on the development of sports skills Shidong Experimental School is a 12 year integrated school. Shen Hong led a team to explore the integration of martial arts, basketball, swimming and other projects, and established a "one-stop" sports education system with reasonable project layout and orderly connection. As the host of the sixth Shanghai Sports Discipline Moral Education Training Base, he is leading the members of the base to explore the reform of physical education teaching methods under the "dual new" perspective. As early as over two years ago, Shanghai upgraded the physical education classes in primary and secondary schools, and "one physical education class per day" has become the norm. However, how to fully utilize the role of school sports, make more children fall in love with sports, and further enhance the effectiveness of education? In recent years, Shanghai has adhered to the principle of catering to everyone, continuously deepening the reform of school physical education curriculum in primary schools, middle schools, and high schools, and continuously improving the high-quality development level of school physical education. Starting from March 10th, the newly revised "Management Measures for Physical Education in Primary and Secondary Schools in Shanghai" officially came into effect, further clarifying that "each primary and junior high school should offer more than 7 sports projects, and high schools should carry out more than 8 sports projects", guiding students to develop the habit of insisting on physical exercise, gradually improving their sports skills, and cultivating the habit of lifelong exercise. In the first grade, basketball is played; in the second grade, baseball is played; in the third grade, dry land ice hockey is offered; in the fourth and fifth grades, cheerleading, basketball, dry land curling, and waist flag rugby are played... At Xunyang Road Primary School, the physical education teaching and research group carefully planned to divide the small playground into five different areas, ensuring that each class rotates the activity area every day. Students can also choose courses and study in different classes according to their interests and needs. For first-year students, the school has been conducting child development assessments for many years, understanding and mastering the "real starting point" of students' development from multiple aspects such as strength, speed and agility, balance and coordination, and fine motor skills. It offers sports correction courses such as skipping rope, hitting balls, throwing, and rock climbing, combined with manual fine motor micro courses, to help children make up for their "shortcomings" and lay a solid foundation for comprehensive and healthy growth. In addition to daily physical education classes, schools in Shanghai also combine their own educational characteristics to innovate forms and enhance content, making sports activities more fun and attracting more students to truly engage. Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Minhang Jingcheng Middle School inherits and popularizes traditional Chinese sports, introduces "Five Animal Play" into recess exercises, and carries out characteristic sports activities such as archery and school bicycle driving licenses. Yan'an Junior High School has set up smart sports facilities on campus, where students can exercise and play games while facing electronic screens. Sports data and suggestions are presented in real-time. At Yuannan Primary School, basketball games are the main form of break time activities. The games are organized and designed by children themselves, and players, referees, scorers, etc. are all played by children... In order to further stimulate students' interest in sports, Shanghai actively builds a three-level competition system of "city district school", creating multiple event platforms such as student sports meetings, series championships, Sunshine League, etc., combining popularization and improvement, and mobilizing students to participate widely. The 2024 Shanghai Student Games will hold a special competition on physical fitness and health, and have also reformed the eligibility of students to participate. As long as they are registered and studying, they can participate according to the requirements. The competition, which lasted for over three months, attracted nearly 200000 participants, the highest number in history. Various districts in Shanghai are also actively cultivating high-quality sports events, promoting training and learning through competitions. In Minhang District, more than 40 district level sports events are held annually, with "6+X" mandatory events (broadcasting gymnastics, kicking and jumping, cheerleading, martial arts, athletics, badminton and table tennis). A monthly sports event calendar for primary and secondary school students in the district is released to encourage young students to develop good habits of daily physical exercise. Focusing on the core issues in the high-quality development of school sports work, Shanghai has specially formulated an action plan to promote the further improvement of students' physical health level through 20 practical measures in 6 aspects Chen Hua, Director of the Sports, Health, and Arts Department of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, introduced that the focus is on comprehensively promoting the "comprehensive physical activity time of no less than 2 hours per day for primary and secondary school students". The Shanghai Municipal Education Commission is working with the sports department to develop specific measures and rules, consolidate the guarantee of sports time on campus, scientifically increase the exercise load, further improve the level of school sports work, and enable students to have a healthy body and a sound personality while fully enjoying the fun of sports, achieving comprehensive and healthy development.
