春风送暖，活力飞扬。为丰富校园生活，落实国家中小学体育健康标准，让孩子们在运动中强健体魄、收获成长，世外小学国际部二年级的孩子们在“活力节”期间，走出校园，走进上海徐汇区田林青少年运动中心，开启了一场充满趣味与挑战的体育实践之旅，沉浸式体验击剑、网球与室内跑酷三大运动的独特魅力。
活动现场，在学校老师和运动中心教练的有序引导下，孩子们分成小组，轮流参与各项运动，欢声笑语不断。在击剑体验区，孩子们换上专业护具，化身“小小剑客”，在教练的指导下学习持剑、移步、刺击的基本动作。他们屏气凝神、专注对峙，不仅感受到了击剑运动的优雅与严谨，更在一次次攻防博弈中，学会了专注与冷静，懂得了尊重规则、直面输赢，在坚持中锤炼了坚韧品格。
室内跑酷区里，孩子们褪去羞涩，勇敢挑战。在教练的保护下，他们练习攀爬、跳跃、翻滚等基础动作，克服内心的胆怯，一点点突破自我。每一次稳稳落地，每一次顺利跨越，都伴随着孩子们的欢呼与掌声，他们在趣味跑跳中，锻炼了身体协调性与爆发力，更学会了勇敢尝试、永不放弃，收获了直面挑战的勇气。
网球体验区则充满了协作与欢乐。孩子们握着小巧的网球拍，学习发球、击球的技巧，在一次次挥拍中，提升了手眼协调能力与肢体灵活性。他们相互配合、彼此鼓励，在轻松愉快的氛围中，不仅掌握了基础的网球技能，更懂得了协作的意义，收获了友谊与快乐，也体会到了运动带来的健康与活力。
此次校外体育实践活动，不仅为孩子们的活力节增添了别样乐趣，更践行了国家中小学体育健康标准，让孩子们在走出校园的过程中，体验运动魅力、强健身体素质、塑造良好品格。愿每一位孩子都能在运动中收获成长，在快乐中绽放光芒，让体育精神融入童年，助力全面发展。

Stepping Beyond the Classroom, Discovering the Joy of Movement | A Vibrant Wellbeing Festival Experience for Grade 2 Students of the International Division
As spring breathes warmth into the air and energy comes alive across the campus, the International Division of Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School continues to nurture holistic development by enriching student experiences and embracing the National Physical Health Standards for Primary and Secondary School Students. Through meaningful engagement in sport, students are encouraged not only to strengthen their bodies, but also to grow in confidence, resilience, and joy.
As part of the Wellbeing Festival, Year 2 students stepped beyond the school grounds and into the Tianlin Youth Sports Center in Xuhui District, Shanghai. There, they embarked on an exciting and immersive journey, exploring the unique character of fencing, tennis, and indoor parkour.
Guided by teachers and professional coaches, students rotated through each activity in small groups, filling the space with laughter, curiosity, and enthusiasm.
In the fencing zone, students donned protective gear and stepped into the role of “little swordsmen”. Under the coaches’ guidance, they learned essential techniques such as stance, footwork, and lunging. In moments of focused stillness and dynamic exchange, they experienced both the elegance and discipline of the sport. Through each bout, they developed concentration and composure, learned to respect rules and outcomes, and strengthened their perseverance.
In the indoor parkour zone, students embraced challenge with growing confidence. Supported by coaches, they practiced climbing, jumping, and rolling, gradually overcoming hesitation and extending their limits. Each successful movement was met with cheers of encouragement, as students built coordination, agility, and courage. More importantly, they discovered the value of persistence and the excitement of pushing beyond what once felt difficult.
The tennis zone offered a joyful blend of movement and collaboration. With rackets in hand, students explored the fundamentals of serving and striking, developing hand-eye coordination and physical control. Through cooperation and encouragement, they not only built foundational skills, but also experienced the power of teamwork, friendship, and shared success.
This off-campus experience brought a dynamic dimension to the Wellbeing Festival, transforming sport into a meaningful context for growth. By stepping beyond the classroom, students deepened their understanding of movement, strengthened their physical well-being, and developed essential life skills.
May every child continue to grow through movement, shine with confidence, and carry the spirit of sport with them—today and into the future.
