Large blocks of ice have been carried into classrooms at primary schools in Changsha, Hunan Province, to help students cope with the severe heat.

According to the local meteorological department, the temperatures reached 39 degrees Celsius seeing some students experience dizziness and nausea.

Given the limited cooling equipment in the classrooms, each having only four fans and no air conditioning, the parent committee proposed a solution to use ice blocks for cooling, which the school actively supported.

To implement this cooling measure, parents actively contacted ice suppliers to order ice blocks. School staff and parents worked together to unload the ice blocks from trucks and distribute them to the classrooms in need of cooling. To ensure the ice was evenly distributed in the classrooms, parents also brought various containers, such as bathtubs and storage boxes, to hold the ice.

According to teachers at the school, placing ice blocks in the classrooms, combined with the use of fans, helped reduce the indoor temperature, bringing some much-needed relief to the students.

In addition to using ice blocks for cooling, some schools in Changsha adopted other measures to cope with the hot weather, such as adjusting the school schedule and suspending outdoor activities to ensure the health and safety of the students.

9月3日，长沙迎来了小学秋季开学的第二天。然而，持续的高温天气给学生们的开学生活带来了不小的挑战。
据气象信息显示，当天最高气温达到39摄氏度，部分学生在高温环境下出现了头晕、恶心等不适症状，严重影响了他们的学习和健康。鉴于学校教室内的降温设备有限，每间教室仅有4台风扇，未安装空调，家委会提出了使用冰块降温的方案，并得到了学校的积极支持。

为了实施这一降温措施，家长们积极联系冰块供应商预订冰块。学校工作人员和家长们齐心协力，将冰块从货车上搬运下来，并送往各个需要降温的教室。为了确保冰块能够均匀分布在教室内，家长们还自发准备了各种容器，如洗澡桶、收纳箱等，来摆放冰块。

据学校教师反映，在教室内放置冰块后，配合风扇的辅助，室内温度确实有所下降，终于为学生们带来了一丝清凉。

除了使用冰块降温外，长沙部分学校还采取了其他措施来应对高温天气。例如，调整作息时间、暂停户外活动等，以确保学生的健康安全。
