A summer of fun activities for children

By Li Xinran | 00:01 UTC+8 July 24, 2017 | Print Edition

FROZEN watermelon, popsicle, Internet surfing, lamb skewer, video game, crawfish or sleep during the day is not the healthy way for children to spend their summer vacation.

At least kids in Changning have a lot of other things to do apart from their holiday assignments.

They may have a choice to go to nearly 70 swimming pools throughout the district or visit a number of local museums to embrace art or simply expand their vision.

Summer camp, film salon, reading marathon, DIY training and seminar are also waiting for them.

District students’ physical condition monitoring center is open every Monday and Wednesday from now until August 23.

Primary and secondary school students may take physical or skill tests at the center, which will also organize sport activities such as badminton, basketball, table tennis, soccer and martial arts among them.

There are opportunities for local teenagers to meet their pals who come a long way from Yunnan in southwest China or even overseas. Exchange programs will enhance friendships among them.

Some teachers are still on duty this summer to tell young geeks that chemical reactions happen in everyday life, help them make paper aeroplanes with a focus on aerodynamics or prepare fun Antarctic facts for kids.

Community activities

Communities in Changning will treat young people in different ways.

Xinhua Community provides students with a reading camp and summer law school.

Young travelers may visit the ex-residence of Qian Xuesen, the former site of the then Shanghai bureau of Communist Party of China Central Committee, as well as the wall of celebrities at Jiangsu Community.
