Over the break time between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from a middle school in Changzhou often rushed to the toilet and back to class with no time for anything else. But now that has changed. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old.
Nowadays, students at primary and middle schools in Changzhou have longer breaks between classes, changing from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. The change is meant to encourage students to spend time outdoors for their physical and mental (心理的) health.
“We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old student. “There are fewer students sitting at their desks. Some play with these cute animals, while others exercise on the sports field. We get closer to nature, which is quite new and relaxing.”
Some schools have opened up activity areas both indoors and outdoors. At most schools, the ground floor of the teaching building has opened a biology lab for students to study animals and plants. The second-floor hallway is designed with spaces for free reading and chess games.
As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe is also important. PE teachers from the school keep an eye on students playing on the ground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we advise the students to do more upper body exercises to avoid (避免) running and falling down,” said one PE teacher.
