Nursery/Pre nursery
– Chinese New Year food tastings and CNY activities.
This week Nursery class engaged in a few
food tastings of Chinese products including shrimp crackers, chrysanthemum tea
and vegetable dumplings. The shrimp cracker was no doubt the most popular product
of our Chinese food tasting where almost every child expressed interest to try
it. Children were also really interested in the chrysanthemum flower tea and
again we had a huge interest in wanting to taste it however although about half
of those who tried it enjoyed it, the other half did not quite fancy it.
Surprisingly many children refused to try the dumplings but of those who did
try, most of them seemed to really enjoy it.
