In the new semester, primary and secondary schools across the country are comprehensively promoting "health first". In Beijing, there is a school that has been making sports the "first subject" since ten years ago. In the morning, the sun shines on the runway. Liang Qianyi, a sixth grade student at Beijing Second Experimental Primary School, is completing the "Little Iron Man" morning exercise activity for the day here. Who would have thought that this boy who can now run 10 laps would still be a "chubby little guy" who couldn't breathe after running two laps a few years ago. At Beijing Second Experimental Primary School, students are exercising on the playground. The change from 'unable to run' to 'easy to run' was not achieved overnight, as reported by Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Han. The physical education teacher tailored a "little step" plan for Liang Qianyi: run half a lap more every day, persist for an extra day every week, and be encouraged by classmates around him. Day after day exercise not only helped him lose excess weight and enhance his cardiovascular function, but also helped him develop exercise habits. This is a microcosm of placing sports as the 'first discipline'. Since its proposal in 2016, Beijing Second Experimental Primary School has integrated morning exercises, physical education classes, long breaks, and after-school sports activities into a complete system, with students engaging in daily activities and everyone participating. Our reform aims to make sports truly the foundation for children's growth, and to root the concept of health in their hearts. ”Principal Lu Yongli said that for students with weak physical fitness, physical education teachers will provide one-on-one personalized guidance; Teachers in all subjects should encourage children to exercise, and class teachers should also participate in sports activities throughout the process to ensure that children's exercise time is not compromised. Accompany the children to run and practice, not only do we exercise ourselves, but we also pay attention to the students' emotions in a timely manner during our daily companionship, and grow together. ”Grade 6 Class 8 homeroom teacher Wang Shukun said. How effective is placing sports at the center of education? The data provides the answer. In 2017, the excellent rate of physical fitness monitoring among all students in the school was less than 75%; By 2025, this number has increased to nearly 96%. Nowadays, the track and field team's morning run, which starts at exactly 7am every morning, has grown from just a dozen people to nearly 200 people. There are both sports talents and children like Liang Qianyi who have been troubled by physical fitness in the team. At Beijing Second Experimental Primary School, students are exercising on the playground. On the basis of daily exercise, the school has turned its attention to a broader "arena". Upgraded from the "Sports Monthly Competition", the "Class Competition" insists on full participation, covering various projects such as long rope, short rope, basketball, football, and endurance running throughout the entire school stage. The lower grades lay the foundation, the middle grades strengthen skills, and the higher grades focus on competition. Every child can come on stage and feel the joy of sports and the power of teamwork. ”Zhao Xin, the leader of the sixth grade physical education group, introduced that "this' learning practice competition integration 'model allows children to learn cooperation and perseverance through hard work." Technology empowerment makes campus sports more interesting and scientific. In the smart sports area next to the playground, several AI smart skipping rope devices quickly formed teams. On the big screen, real-time data such as the number of participants, jumping times, and interruption times are clear at a glance. The device uses multi-modal AI fusion technology through cameras and microseismic detection nodes to statistically analyze students' motion parameters. The eyes that look forward to being on the list make a physical education class particularly lively. At Beijing Second Experimental Primary School, students are using smart skipping rope equipment for exercise. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Han captures children's running and laughter, continuing in more campuses in Beijing. The "Wave Cup" class football league at Haidian Qiyi Primary School started playing on the first day of the new semester; Shijingshan Power Plant Road Primary School and Capital Institute of Physical Education jointly launched an Olympic education school-based curriculum; Black Sesame Hutong Primary School customizes tiered activities such as "Jumping Little Experts" and "Wu Yun Strong Spirit" for different grades... Data shows that by 2025, the excellent physical health rate of primary and secondary school students in Beijing will exceed 80% for the first time. From the persistence of a school to the consensus of a city, 'health first' is being written into children's growth. (New Society)
