As the autumn frost begins to paint the maple leaves red, the sixth-grade students embarked on a three-day outdoor adventure on Changxing Island. From October 18th to October 20th, these students, venturing into collective living without their parents, showcased their capabilities.
Upon arrival at the “Qianxiaoju” campsite on the morning of October 18th, students swiftly settled in, and then gathered in the square for the opening ceremony. The instructors expressed their hopes for the students, emphasizing that the three-day activity was not just an experience but a profound journey of growth.
The first afternoon featured military training, including standing at attention and parade drills. Students approached these exercises with a sense of seriousness, attentively following the instructors’ commands, echoing through the entire campsite.
Tasks such as organizing their accommodations and maintaining cleanliness were taken up diligently by the students. In caring for themselves and their peers, they took significant strides forward.
An evening session on first aid training saw students attentively listening and engaging in hands-on practice. Combining knowledge with practice, students were wholeheartedly involved and highly proactive.
The following morning included a squad drill competition, with both teams delivering stunning performances. Despite the brief training, each participant displayed enthusiasm, high spirits, and the unwavering determination of young individuals.
The subsequent activities primarily focused on teamwork experiences. Students enthusiastically participated in activities such as “Group Dragon Fetching Water,” “Frisbee Contest,” and “Balancing Balls on Drums.” Each student contributed their part to the team.
The campfire party on the evening of the second day was a lively and cheerful affair. The event featured passionate singing, captivating dances, and outstanding musical performances.
Students displayed their exceptional talents and performed confidently.
The grand finale on the third day was all about “Do It Yourself and Eat Heartily!” Students engaged in planting and harvesting vegetables, and they were excited to get their hands in the soil. The cooking segment was equally thrilling as they used iron pots and large stoves. Students washed vegetables, built fires, seasoned dishes, and cooked together, with each step being a coordinated effort. The final dishes received rave reviews from all participants.
After the orange-picking experience, the three-day activity came to a close. During the closing ceremony, students shared their reflections and lessons learned: “The three days have strengthened my determination, developed my practical skills, taught me teamwork, and left me with a sense of fulfillment.” Director Yin provided a concluding speech, acknowledging the students’ growth and expressing great anticipation for their future academic endeavors.
The students, venturing into collective living without their parents, worked together and trained their cooperation skills and spirit of exploration. Let’s cheer for these young explorers!
