On one side of the elevated floor of Buxin Primary School, physical education teacher Chen Peiyu was taking students from Class 3 (2) to a physical education class. Because it was the first day of school, the students still needed to recover their physical fitness, so the physical education class that day basically consisted of a relatively small amount of exercise. Chen Peiyu organized the students in the class to warm up first, and then take turns to do sprint training. As a full-time physical education teacher, he has to take 15 physical education classes a week, which can be said to be in a saturated state. He said that due to the small venue, their biggest concern was the safety of the students. In order to avoid collisions between students, they took turns to practice sprinting one by one.

On the other side of the elevated floor of Buxin Primary School, class teacher and Chinese teacher Liu Xunhua is leading students from Class 3 (1) to perform fancy rope skipping, double-leg jumping, jumping jacks, high leg raises and other sports.
