Nursery and Pre Nursery - Chinese New Year food tastings and activities


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.
