In order to allow students to participate in agricultural and learning practices, on June 10, 2022, our school organized teachers and students from the 4th, 56th and 6th grades to go to Xinmeiyuan Farm in Tongan to carry out the "Work to create a better life and rejuvenate the country" The themed study activity of "Young Man with Me" takes "The plowshare breaks the soil to take advantage of the warm spring, and labor practice should not be slowed down" as the course to go deep into the cultivated land and explore the significance of the development of sustainable agriculture and ecological agriculture.
The first stop of the practical activities started at "Succulents DIY". Students chose their favorite succulent plant shapes and colors and embarked on a unique immersive planting experience. DIY steps: Select succulents - get pots - fill with soil - undress - plant - replenish soil - decorate.
Under the guidance of research instructors, students feel the temperature of the soil with their own hands, and gently and slowly make their own unique and out-of-print succulents step by step.
The red peppers, which resemble the gourds of Calabash Baby, made the students full of curiosity and wonder about aerospace breeding. Students participated and interacted in the field and in real scenes, and learned about the cultivation and characteristics of space vegetable varieties, which broadened their horizons and triggered students' thinking about tracing the origin of food for three meals a day on the table.
