Shanghai students welcome the first day of the high school entrance examination: Strive hard and take advantage of the present. During their four years of junior high school, they have studied online three times | students | students

Today is the first day of the Shanghai high school entrance examination. Before 7:30, Wang Zhichao, the third grade homeroom teacher of Yan'an Junior High School, arrived at the exam center of Loushan Middle School early. Wearing a specially customized red T-shirt from the school and a red mask with the logo of Yan'an Junior High School, we are sending junior high school students to take the exam. "This group of students was brought up by me from sixth grade to ninth grade. In four years of junior high school learning, they have experienced three rounds of online learning. Although facing the challenges of online and offline adjustments, they have been guided to cultivate their self-learning ability and improve their overall personal qualities." Wang Zhichao said.

Outside the exam center of Loushan Middle School, Wang Zhichao pasted carefully designed stickers for 38 students from Class 3 who participated in the middle school entrance examination. "The first subject of the high school entrance examination is Chinese, and I wish you a successful start..." Originally, the school designed different congratulatory stickers for this high school entrance examination, bringing surprises to the children, symbolizing that they can do well in all subjects - Chinese subject, a successful start; Comprehensive written test, smooth sailing; Mathematics subjects, with a clear understanding; Proficient in foreign language written exams; The subjects of morality and the rule of law have a bright future ahead

Outside the exam site, in the final moments before the exam, the homeroom teacher carefully takes care of each child and sends warm encouragement. Teachers and students embrace each other, applaud and cheer. "Relaxing, being calm and careful, and not losing points on the questions you know how to do are the 'magic weapons' for winning the middle school entrance examination." "Reasonably arranging time, performing normally is good, doing everything right during the exam!"... Teachers remind and encourage students outside the exam center to let go of pressure, face the exam with a relaxed attitude and the best state, and perform at their best level. The candidates entered with full blessings and expectations from their teachers and parents, smiling confidently.

More than 300 students from the third year of junior high school in Yan'an participated in the middle school entrance examination. The school implements a "one life strategy" based on the characteristics of each third year student, and implements it effectively in teaching, guiding students to develop comprehensively. "Most of the third year students in this class were born in 2007 and 2008. After online learning, they have strong resilience. They are curious about the world and have a spirit of exploration and questioning. During online learning, some students like to play games, but some children have exploration and questioning, not only focusing on playing games themselves, but also understanding knowledge beyond games and researching game design. Some students have learned personal time management, and when time comes, they know to enter online classrooms on time for learning..." As the deputy group leader of the third year of junior high school, Wang Zhichao believes that the middle school entrance examination is not only to test the learning results of four years, but also to guide students to learn independent learning, time allocation and management, and to play to their personal strengths, and take every step of life accurately.

Hu Yu, a 2022 graduate of Yan'an Junior High School, is currently in his first year of high school and has a passion for music. Just before the junior high school students left school, he created a rap song for his younger students, which he wrote, composed, and sang himself. He wrote in the lyrics: The finish line is waiting ahead, and with another sprint, take advantage of the present; Don't be too concerned about success or failure, believe that you can do it, you are a genius; The new star of the future is rising slowly, let go of your efforts to welcome victory, prove yourself to everyone, the future is a broader future, and towards the end, you are the peak. Four years of sharpening a sword, wind and rain never stop. May you ride the wind and waves, and live up to your youthful years... Gu Yueqiong, Deputy Director of the Education Department of the school, accompanied the song with photos of students from various classes in the third year of junior high school's spring outing and campus scenery, and made it into a video. The 2022 graduates of Yan'an Junior High School are still in their current high schools, filming videos of blessings and encouragement to wish their younger students exceptional performance, and hoping to make candidates feel that their desired school is right beside them. A short few minutes of video, full of blessings, cheering candidates. Candidates also receive small gifts such as cola and USB flash drives with their names printed on them, not only as a commemoration of their alma mater, but also as special pre exam blessings.

Xu Jun, the principal of Yan'an Junior High School, said that the high school entrance examination is an important challenge in life. Regardless of the outcome, it is a growth process that is worthy of recognition. I believe that students will gain more experience and growth in this process, and welcome a better future.
