On March 4, primary and secondary schools, as well as kindergartens in the Haishu District, kicked off a brand-new semester full of energy, with familiar laughter echoing through the campuses once again.

The Ningbo No.1 Kindergarten moved its opening ceremony venue to the Zhongshan Square, kicking off the new semester with an outdoor "parent-child sports + game check-in" event. The entire activity not only incorporated the kindergarten's culture and seasonal characteristics but also set up obstacle challenges, check-in games, and other segments, allowing children to experience the "joy of practice" from their behavioral curriculum through games, sports, and hands-on experiences, growing happily through action.

The "Welcoming the New Year with Tech Innovation · Wisdom Ignites the Year of the Horse" Spring Semester Opening Event at the Ningbo Experimental Primary School was simultaneously launched at its Wan'an and Maoxi campuses. At the Wan'an campus, two humanoid robots and Niibot robots interacted flexibly. Programming creative works, small science experiments, and rocket launch experience projects allowed children to feel the charm of technology through hands-on practice. The Maoxi campus ignited students' enthusiasm for exploration with featured projects like AI voice robots, graphical programming, "flame palms" and air cannons, and air rockets as well as water rockets.

At the Yinjiang Town Central Kindergarten, children carefully made rubbings of galloping horses and various "Fu" characters (symbolizing good fortune). The older kids from the top class showed boundless creativity, adding auspicious clouds to the horses on their bookmarks, carrying their new semester wishes as they soared towards the blue sky.

At the Jiangwancheng Kindergarten in the Haishu District, intelligent robots took center stage for the new semester of the Year of the Horse. From entering the kindergarten gates to happily starting a run along the Fenghua River, the intelligent robots provided companionship throughout, illuminating the first day of the new semester with a sense of technology and ceremony.

The Haishu District Shiqi Subdistrict Central Kindergarten (Yayue Campus) carried out a spring plowing themed activity on the first day of school. Children carefully selected seeds of hope, hand-painted their exclusive spring pots, and then loosened the soil, sowed seeds, and watered them in the farm area, immersing themselves in the joy of cultivation.

At the Haishu District Zhangshui Town Central Kindergarten, top class children performed dragon and lion dances to welcome the little ones. Creative parent-child sign-ins showcased new ideas, spinning the wheel of fortune brought blessings, traditional games brought joy, and drumming declared aspirations for the new journey, embarking on a journey of growth with a sense of ritual.

The Zhufuyuan Kindergarten held a "Full Throttle · Happy Sailing" spring semester opening themed activity. All the children embarked on the wonderful journey of the new semester amidst fun and engaging interactions. Centered around the creative concept of the "horse", the activity created an immersive back-to-school experience.

The Longguan Township Central Kindergarten combined the start of the semester with International Women's Day (March 8), creating three themed photo-taking spots. Parents and children wore props and froze warm smiles in front of the camera, perfectly blending the ritual of the new semester with the tenderness of the festival.

The Haishu District Tianyue Kindergarten integrated fun games, incorporating the imagery of the horse – agility, courage, and striving – into every segment, encouraging children to feel the joy of the new semester and the auspicious atmosphere of the Year of the Horse through immersive play.

On the playground of the Ningbo Sun Wenying Primary School, children energetically performed the "Galloping Horse Happy Exercise" to the tune of "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse". Everyone danced happily to the rhythm, with bright smiles and neat movements, fully displaying the vitality of youth. A football prodigy and senior student, Zhang Dong, also shared his football experience with his juniors, finding joy through sports.
