Our N2 children had a fun filled February learning about the various way to keep us healthy! They were engaged in plenty of cookery activities to prepare dishes like fruity yogurt, cheese letter bread and veggy shroomy soup. I hope that you enjoyed the veggy shroomy soup (that the children brought back) as much as they did in school!

Look at some of the pictures taken during the recent fruity yogurt activity:

First, we have to cut the fruits (strawberry and kiwi) into small pieces...

Next, we add the plain non-fat yogurt into the blender... Let's count the number of scoops to add...

Add the fruits in!

Watch the blender do the job! Children were fascinated with how the blender works... look at how some of them are covering their ears as they were afraid of the loud sound made by the blender. "brrrooooooooommmm" - yumyum!

Apart from all these in-class activity, children expanded their knowledge through a field trip to the Health Promotional Board - Health Zone on 19th February, Friday.

While waiting to go into the Healthzone...

At the Exciting Eatery where children enjoyed looking at the giant food pyramid behind them... it is filled with plenty of different models of food.

Real-life model of people as part of the exhibit showcasing healthy food meals... Chelsey was wondering if those models were real or fake people. Some children were even afraid to go near the model as they said it looked scary...

At the Tooth Terrain, there was a huge model of a mouth! It was fun stepping on the soft 'tongue' and exploring the huge mouth!

Children checking out the decayed tooth in the mouth and learnt about the various kinds of unhealthy food that causes tooth decay.

We were also offered free service to check our mouth by Rong Lau Shi at one of the exhibits. Children had fun taking turns sitting on the dental chair. We also managed to convince some of the children who were afraid to sit on the chair and open their mouth wide... hopefully this will help them to take away the fear from visiting the dentist!

It was definitely a fun and knowledgable experience for the children and myself. I hope that your child did share with you about some of the things we saw during the field trip. I'm currently looking forward to our next field trip to The Arts House for Child Size, A Festival for Young Ones next Tuesday, 9th March! ((:

Till then, have a great enjoyable month ahead!
