Top 10 Best Essays on Recounting a School Labor Day (Grade 6)

President Ho Chi Minh once said: 'For the benefit of ten years, plant trees; for the benefit of a hundred years, educate people.' These wise words continue to inspire generations...

My school is a newly constructed building, standing on a spacious plot of land. The three-story structure is impressive, but there were no trees around. Therefore, last spring, our school organized a tree-planting event to create a green and clean environment. The event was filled with energy and enthusiasm, leaving a lasting impression on me.

According to the school’s plan, each class was tasked with planting and caring for ten trees. The class that achieved the healthiest and most vibrant trees after a year would receive recognition and a commemorative plaque. Our class eagerly joined the tree-planting celebration. Hoai Anh, a classmate, cheerfully asked our teacher for permission and then assigned tasks to each group, which further distributed roles among the students. Some would bring the trees, others the tools, some carried watering cans, while others brought fertilizer.

On the day of the event, our class, along with twenty others, lined up neatly to listen to the principal's speech on the importance of tree planting. After receiving our instructions, we went to our assigned areas. Hoai Anh quickly and enthusiastically began digging the first hole for planting. From there, each of us took turns and dug the remaining nine holes.

As we worked, the students jokingly teased each other. Some even sang songs about breaking soil. The girls quickly added fertilizer to the holes. They were very thoughtful. The day before, they had consulted with our biology teacher to ensure the right amount of fertilizer to avoid harming the trees. Once everything was ready, our class leader invited the teacher to plant the first tree. She selected a small banyan tree and gently placed it into the hole, saying, 'Today, we plant this banyan tree, and by the time you graduate, it will have grown tall. Future students will enjoy its shade on hot summer days. This is the ten-year benefit that President Ho Chi Minh spoke about.' Then, she carefully covered the roots with soil.

Before long, our class had planted all the trees. A long row of various trees: banyan, tamarind, Indian lilac, and sesame. After watering the trees thoroughly, we all went home. That day, we were all filled with joy. A year passed quickly, and the trees we planted grew lush and healthy. Our class felt proud when the school chose one of our trees, a fragrant flower tree, to display a commemorative plaque.

As time passed, the row of trees in front of our class became a cherished memory for all of us. Now, I truly understand the deep meaning of President Ho Chi Minh's words.

On a sunny Sunday morning, with a spade over my shoulder, I eagerly made my way to school. Almost all of my classmates were present. Our homeroom teacher stood on a high chair, clapping his hands like a mother bird calling its young. We quickly lined up, listening to him assign tasks, and one by one, each group rushed to the garden, just like little birds greeting a new day.

Although I had visited this garden before during biology lessons, today I was excited to take a walk before heading to the area assigned to my group. The excitement of being able to work was irresistible! I could tell my friends felt the same. Everyone was busy and enthusiastic. Each of us took a small pot of medicinal plants to tend to – we cleared weeds, fertilized, and watered them. The pots of Centella Asiatica were overrun with weeds. Poor plants had to fight for food with invaders. Perhaps that's why they were sluggish and grew slowly.

Then came the harvest season. How could we have a good yield? Don’t worry, friend. I trimmed my nails, tidied up, and even gave the plants a refreshing bath. I took care of the weeds, removed the dead leaves, tilled the soil, and added fertilizer around the plants. Following the teacher's instructions, I cleaned up the trash and collected scattered clumps of weeds. Suddenly, I heard a scream. Turning around, I saw Tùng holding an earthworm, teasing Cúc Hoa, who was terrified of insects and screamed as if she were in trouble. Her face turned pale, and she was looking for a way to run away. The teacher said to Tùng:

– Stop playing around. Focus on your work, the sun is getting higher!

Only then did Tùng stop his prank and returned to his pot with a victorious smile. I quickly grabbed my bucket to fetch some water. The garden was quite far from the faucet, so I could only carry a few buckets, and sweat soaked through my shirt. I poured water around the plant roots and on the leaves. The plants seemed to perk up, and I felt less tired. The sun was high, and the morning was almost over. I double-checked my work, and the teacher gathered us in a small open area of the garden. He spoke slowly:

– Look at the garden now. It was bare before, but now it’s pleasant to the eyes. Tomorrow, the plants will be lush, and our lessons on biology will feel closer to life. I commend group 3 and am disappointed with group 1. Each member of group 1 needs to reflect on their work ethic. Now, let’s return to the schoolyard.

We followed the teacher in two lines. There were whispers from group 1. They were probably “reflecting” on their work attitude. As for me, I finally realized how tiring the simple tasks were. I thought about the farmers working hard in the fields, my father operating machines at the Sinco factory, and my mother managing the weaving machines… I thought of all the workers laboring day and night to provide food and clothing for everyone. I smiled, drank the cool water my friend Hải handed me, and promised myself: 'Study well, work well,' as Uncle Ho taught us.

To prepare for the school opening on September 5th, all the students gathered on the morning of September 3rd for a thorough cleaning of the school.

At exactly 7:00 AM, everyone arrived at school, excited and armed with various tools such as hoes, shovels, and bamboo brooms. A drum sounded to signal the gathering, and all students returned to their designated positions. After Ms. Nga assigned cleaning duties, each class went to their respective work areas. The air was filled with conversations, the rhythmic sound of hoes and shovels, and the sweeping of brooms. Our class, 6A, began the work. Each group used whatever tools they had. Dung, Tùng, Kiên, and Thắng’s group worked on clearing the weeds along the road.

The dense shrubs along the road were unsightly, so we had to dig them up and remove them to make the area look tidy. My group of girls used bamboo brooms to sweep up the trash into piles. Long and Huỳnh were responsible for collecting and removing the trash. The uneven patches of ground needed to be leveled, and of course, the boys, Thủy and Giáp, used their shovels to make the area look beautiful. The sun was shining brightly, the wind blew gently, and birds chirped as time passed. Finally, we finished cleaning the road.

We paused to admire our work, and it looked great. Tomorrow, this road would contribute to the success of our school opening ceremony. Ms. Thúy, our homeroom teacher, signaled for us to gather. After taking attendance, she reminded us to prepare for the next day.

Everyone dispersed, each going their own way, and we were all filled with joy. I was especially happy to have participated in making our environment cleaner and more beautiful. I hoped our school would organize more such workdays to keep it always looking great.

Every month, our school organizes a collective labor day to beautify the school or contribute to improving our hometown. Today’s tree planting event aimed to accomplish this goal.

The day before, the class leaders in charge of labor went to the local nursery to collect saplings and received their designated plots of land. We knew that although this labor would be tiring, it was meaningful, so everyone prepared carefully to complete the assigned tasks.

The next morning, my friends from the group invited me to join them early. Tuấn urged me:

– Hùng! Let’s go!

I grabbed the watering can and hoe and hurried to catch up with them. Laughter and chatter filled the air, echoing across the quiet countryside. We walked in a long line, with Kiên leading the way proudly, holding up a red flag.

When we arrived, after the vice-principal explained the task, we got straight to work. Following the markings from before, we dug holes. Each hole had to be the size of a basket and about four inches deep. The soil was hard, so we had to dig wide holes and loosen the earth so that the young trees could take root quickly. The sound of hoes filled the air. Tuấn, the strongest in our class, made each strike of his hoe flip large chunks of earth, which made us all praise his strength.

Once a hole was ready, we placed the tree into it. The girls carefully packed soil around the base and inserted a small stick to support the tree, tying it to prevent it from falling over. When everything was set, we watered each sapling with a scoop of water. The sun was high, and we were all getting tired. A whistle blew, signaling a break. The girls gathered under the shade of some bushes, while the boys entertained themselves by playing rooster fighting with some grass.

After the break, we resumed work. By midday, the entire hill was covered with young eucalyptus trees. Soon, these trees would grow into a lush forest, adding beauty to our homeland. Today’s labor day was very rewarding and left me with an unforgettable impression.

Trường học vừa là nơi trau dồi kiến thức vừa là nơi tu dưỡng đạo đức, bao thế hệ học sinh đã xem trường học như là ngôi trường thứ hai của mình. Hè đến xa mái trường thân yêu, mỗi học sinh đều cảm thấy thương nhớ mái trường với tiếng trống, hàng phượng, hàng bàng xanh tươi trước sân trường, nơi chúng tôi tụ tập chơi trò chơi, ôn tập bài vở, cùng nhau cất lên khúc ca đoàn kết. Mùa hè qua đi chúng tôi trở lại mái trường thân yêu tiếp tục thực hiện nghĩa vụ học tập. Ngày tựu trường, thầy hiệu phát biểu: “Hãy xem trường học là ngôi nhà thứ hai của các em, mà đã là nhà của mình thì chúng ta phải thường xuyên phải dọn dẹp, chúng ta không thể sống và làm việc trên đống rác được đúng không các em?”. Và thế là chúng tôi có cuộc tổng dọn vệ sinh đầu năm học.

Hôm ấy, trời trong xanh nắng đẹp, từng cơn gió hiu hiu thổi, không khí thật thích hợp cho buổi lao động. Cả trường tôi tề tựu đông đủ, các giáo viên chủ nhiệm tập hợp lớp, cho lớp trưởng thực hiện điểm danh, kiểm tra dụng cụ lao động. Trên tay mỗi học sinh đều mang theo dụng cụ đầy đủ, khối lớp 6 thì mang giẻ lau và xô chậu, khối lớp 7 mang theo chổi, khối lớp 8 và 9 lớn nhất nên được phân mang theo cuốc và xẻng. Sau khi điểm danh và kiểm kê dụng cụ, giáo viên chủ nhiệm của từng lớp đưa học sinh của mình về chỗ đã được phân công dọn dẹp. Các học sinh lớp sáu nhanh nhẹn chia nhau ra lau bảng, bàn ghế, bảng và cửa kính, ai ai cũng vui vẻ hào hứng cố lau cho thật sạch sẽ các phòng học. Tiếng cười nói hân hoan của các em học sinh mới bước vào ngôi trường cấp hai yêu dấu như tiếng những chú chim non ríu rít, mang đầy phấn khởi vui mừng.

Khối lớp 7 thì một nửa được phân quét sạch sân trường, một nửa còn lại được phân công quét dọn trong các phòng học, quét sạch bụi bẩn cùng với mạng nhện. Mấy tháng nghỉ hè không có ai dọn dẹp sân trường nay đã phủ đầy lá và giấy rác từ đâu bay về, mọi người vừa quét tước vừa rôm rả nói chuyện. Tiếng cười tiếng nói hòa lẫn tiếng chổi soàn soạt, cứ quét được một đống rác to, các bạn lại dùng hốt rác hốt bỏ vào sọt rác, rồi phân công người mang đổ ra hố rác phía sau trường để, cuối buổi tổng kết bằng cách đốt cho sạch sẽ khuôn viên trường, tránh cho giấy rác bay lung lung.

Khối lớp 8 và lớp 9 là có lượng công việc nặng nhọc nhất, trường tôi có một sân học thể dục bằng đất rộng rãi, và một khu đất trống ngay phía trước hàng rào của trường, cỏ dại mọc um tùm, năm nào chúng tôi cũng tiến hành làm cỏ và san lấp mặt bằng, sau đó chúng tôi tiến hành trồng các loại cây mà thầy cô chỉ dẫn để tạo mỹ quan cho trường học. Năm nay trường chúng tôi quyết định trồng cỏ lạc để phủ xanh mảnh đất trước cổng trường, mọi người hứng thú với công việc trồng trọt này lắm, những luống cỏ lạc xanh ngắt được chúng tôi đích thân vun trồng, rồi tưới nước, hi vọng một ngày nào đó sẽ vươn rộng phủ xanh cả bãi đất và ra những bông hoa màu vàng điểm tô cho thảm cỏ xanh thêm phần xinh xắn.

Trong không khí sôi động của buổi tổng vệ sinh, thầy cô liên tục nhắc nhở, quán xuyến các lớp hoàn thành nhiệm vụ, kiểm tra chỗ nào còn chưa đạt thì nhắc các em học sinh của mình làm lại cho sạch sẽ, đôi khi các thầy cô còn cầm chổi, cầm giẻ đích thân lau dọn để tạo động lực cho học trò. Các thầy cô vừa làm vừa trò chuyện vui vẻ với các trò thân yêu, thương học sinh vất vả có giáo viên còn chạy đi mua nước uống và đồ ăn về cho học trò của mình. Chúng tôi thấy mà cảm động lắm, uống chai nước suối mà cảm thấy ngọt tận trong lòng.

Buổi lao động diễn ra trong không khí vui vẻ, vừa tăng cường sức khỏe, rèn luyện sự chăm chỉ, khéo léo vừa tăng tình đoàn kết giữa các học sinh. Sau buổi lao động ngôi trường mang một bộ dáng mới, xinh đẹp, sạch sẽ, không còn bóng dáng của lá rụng, rác thải, cửa kính hay bàn ghế đều được lau chùi sạch bong, khu đất trước trường được phủ xanh bằng một lớp cỏ lạc xanh mướt, chỉ vài tháng nữa thôi là sẽ có cả hoa vàng. Tất cả đều đã chuẩn bị sẵn sàng cho ngày đầu tiên học tập của năm học mới.

Những buổi lao động như thế này mãi mãi là những kỷ niệm đáng nhớ trong suốt thời học sinh. Tuy có vất vả, nhưng những giọt mồ hôi hôm nay đổ xuống là để cho ngôi nhà thứ hai của chúng tôi được sạch đẹp hơn, tạo môi trường để chúng tôi học tập thật tốt, giành kết quả cao trong năm học. Trường học không chỉ dạy chúng ta kiến thức mà còn dạy chúng ta cách lao động, cách làm việc trong tập thể, tăng tình đoàn kết giữa bạn bè với nhau, khiến ta thêm yêu ngôi trường – ngôi nhà thứ hai này hơn.

Every day at school, we not only study and play but also participate in extracurricular activities and work sessions. Last Saturday, just like every other week, our school organized a labor day for each class to clean the schoolyard and replant the flowerbeds and plants.

The work session was organized by the school administration and the team leader. To prepare for the event, during Friday afternoon's class, our teacher and class leader assigned tasks and set the time for us to gather. By 7 AM on Saturday, everyone had arrived at the schoolyard, full of energy and excitement for the task ahead. According to the plan from the previous class, the teacher and the class leaders checked attendance, gathered the tools, and assigned each group with their tasks. Each class was responsible for cleaning their designated areas, replanting their assigned flowerbeds, and our class did the same.

In our class, students were divided into groups to work on the flowerbeds. We worked together to remove weeds and replace missing flowers, all while chatting and laughing. After cleaning the flowerbeds, some girls added fertilizer while the boys carried water to water the plants. Once all the flowerbeds were tidy, we cleaned up the area as well.

As the work session concluded, we were all tired, but everyone felt incredibly happy. We were glad to have contributed to making our school more beautiful and eco-friendly.

The work day at school is perhaps the most meaningful and enjoyable time where both teachers and students share the collective task of maintaining a clean and beautiful classroom and school environment.

Our school's labor sessions are typically organized in two rounds: the first at the beginning of the school year, where both students and teachers work together to clean and prepare the school and classrooms. Since we are young, our main tasks include tidying up the classrooms, wiping desks, and picking up trash in the yard, while our teachers join in the efforts by trimming bushes and cutting back dry branches.

The second work session occurs at the start of the new year, focusing on cleaning the flowerbeds, planting new greenery, and clearing away dense bushes in honor of the annual tree planting day, initiated by our revered leader.

Dressed in work clothes, with sleeves rolled up, after the work session, everyone looked dirty with muddy hands and clothes covered in dust. Despite the exhaustion, each face radiated joy and contentment. The saying 'Labor is glory' has never been truer. Even though the work was tiring, every student, regardless of their usual lack of physical labor, worked together with full determination. Unity and mutual help ensured the tasks were completed quickly and efficiently.

The work session proceeded with enthusiasm and joy, filled with encouragement and cheers to make the school and classroom more beautiful, providing an ideal learning environment for everyone.

"Labor is glory". To embody this motto, our class eagerly participated in the youth union's call to beautify the school. Last week, we had an exciting labor day.

In celebration of the Youth Union's founding day on March 26, the school's union organized a labor session for all classes. Our energetic class quickly came up with a plan. We were assigned to clean the school garden. The class officers divided the tasks: some carried hoes and shovels, others brought pruning tools, and some brought water bottles. Once everything was ready, we were all set for our glorious labor day.

That afternoon, the weather was pleasant and cool. A large cloud moved in from nowhere, casting a giant shadow over the yard. A gentle breeze blew, and the cheerful birds in the garden added to the lively atmosphere, making the labor session feel more like a fun outdoor adventure than work. Everyone was excited, and we began our tasks.

Cleaning the garden wasn't too difficult; it just required care and dedication. The girls in our class excelled at the task, using their nimble hands to trim the leaves, care for the plants, water them, and remove the weeds. The boys dug holes to plant new trees and carried water. As we worked, we chatted cheerfully, forgetting about the hard work. Occasionally, Nam, our class clown, told a funny joke that had everyone laughing so hard we nearly fell over. The sound of laughter even startled the birds perched in the trees, sending them flying away.

The work was enjoyable. The sounds of soft footsteps on the ground, leaf-cutting, and hoeing combined with the laughter made the warm sun feel brighter. Its golden rays bathed the garden, giving the plants much-needed nourishment. As noon approached, everyone seemed a little tired, faces smeared with dirt and beads of sweat. Some students looked like clowns, their faces covered in earth, which was amusing. Just then, our class leader returned with drinks and fresh green mangoes. The sight of them made all the exhaustion disappear.

The labor session concluded, and we completed our tasks successfully. During the flag-raising ceremony at the beginning of the week, our class received praise and recognition from the youth union. Our homeroom teacher was proud of our hard work and good behavior. From then on, we remembered the wise words of President Ho Chi Minh for the young generation:

"Little children do little work

According to their strength…"

At school, it’s not just about learning and discipline; we also have labor sessions that help students improve their physical strength, health, and sense of responsibility. Every month, our school organizes such work sessions for all students.

The labor session is led by the school’s head of student affairs, the PE teacher, and with the support of the janitor. Everyone participates enthusiastically and cheerfully. Fortunately, the weather that day was perfect, cool and breezy, unlike the usual heat we’re accustomed to.

Before the session, the head of student affairs gathers all students, checks the labor tools of each class, and ensures everything is ready for a smooth session. She assigns each class their work area and hands out slogans to direct everyone to their designated spots. Everyone is excited about their tasks.

On the left side, the older students from class 9 are assigned to clean up the flowerbeds and scrub the water tanks. The flowerbeds, overgrown with weeds and long neglected, are now being cleared. The students diligently pull weeds, till the soil, and plant new flowers. These beds, which once held only morning glories, now feature wildflowers, and over time, they will become beautiful and vibrant, adding color to the school.

Meanwhile, the water tank behind the school is also being scrubbed clean. Some students carry rags, others bring buckets and soap. Each person is focused on their task, working together to complete it as quickly as possible. After the hard work, the long-neglected water tank is now sparkling clean, filled with fresh water, no longer covered with dirt and stagnant water as before.

On the other side of the school, the 7th graders are sweeping the schoolyard. Our yard is spacious, filled with trees such as phoenix, mahogany, and lagerstroemia. The wide canopies of the trees provide shade but also drop leaves all over the ground, making it a challenge for the janitor every day. Everyone is working hard to do their part. Some are sweeping leaves, others are collecting them, while the boys are handling the heavier task of taking out the trash.

In no time, the yard, which was covered in leaves earlier, is now clear and spotless. Even the low-hanging branches that were in the way have been pruned, ensuring safety and creating more space for the school.

The 6th graders are tasked with cleaning the classrooms. Each class is assigned two rooms. The work is busy, with students running around—some wiping windows, others cleaning the blackboards, some rearranging desks and chairs, and others sweeping. Everyone is focused and happy to help out.

The classes are supervised by the head of student affairs and the PE teacher. Teachers visit each class, offering encouragement with humorous comments while reminding the classes to finish cleaning if they haven't done so properly. The PE teacher even rolled up his sleeves and helped students with tough tasks like cleaning high windows or dusting tall lights. Everyone appreciated the teacher's willingness to lend a hand.

Labor isn’t just a time for physical exercise or boosting one’s work ethic; it’s also a chance to bond with others, to strengthen the unity within the school community. Boys showed chivalry by helping the girls with their tasks. Occasionally, there were funny moments and jokes exchanged among the students. The sounds of chatter and laughter filled the school.

After the labor session, it felt like the school had been given a fresh makeover. The yard looked neat and bright with the newly planted wildflowers. No more litter or fallen leaves scattered around. The classrooms, too, were cleaner and more spacious, with sparkling windows, dust-free blackboards, and desks neatly arranged.

The labor session went smoothly and happily, with everyone achieving the best results. Although it was hard work, the joy and the memories created will last forever. At our school, we not only gain knowledge but also learn valuable lessons in teamwork, responsibility, and helping each other complete tasks. These are the true lessons we take away from our labor sessions.

Like many other schools, ours regularly organizes work sessions where students gather in groups or by class to clean the school, plant trees, and contribute to making our school a greener, cleaner, and more beautiful place. As usual, last Saturday, a labor day was held with enthusiastic participation from all the students.

The event was a school-wide labor session with individual classes assigned specific tasks. Some classes were responsible for sweeping the schoolyard, while others cleaned desks and windows. My class was tasked with watering and taking care of the flowerbeds. On the Friday before, our class monitor distributed the necessary tools for the event—some students brought buckets for water, others carried bags for collecting weeds.

At exactly eight o’clock on Saturday morning, all students gathered at the school, each with the assigned tools. After a brief meeting where our teacher explained the labor plan, we split into our respective groups. The class monitor took attendance, and we began our tasks.

We formed small teams, each assigned to a different flowerbed. There were as many teams as there were flowerbeds. Everyone worked together, pulling out weeds and then watering the flowers. Despite the hot sun, everyone worked with great enthusiasm, and the other classes were also busy with their tasks, each doing their best to complete the work.

After a while, everyone started to feel tired, so we gathered together to send a few students to buy drinks and fruit for a break. Most classes did the same. We all enjoyed the refreshments, and the cold drinks seemed to refresh us, lifting our spirits. Some classes invited others to join them for a drink and a snack. After the break, we were all energized and ready to finish our tasks. Some classes that had finished early happily helped those still working, so everyone could rest. No one complained about helping others; instead, we all cheerfully assisted one another.

By eleven o’clock, all the tasks were completed. Each class gathered to have their class monitor report to the teachers. After the report, the students were allowed to go home with the teachers’ permission.

The labor session was deemed highly successful, not only improving the appearance of the school but also showcasing the unity between classes when faced with challenges.
