The girls' childcare centre holds regular cooking class for the older children. I think this is a great way for children to refine their motor skills, coordination skills, learn teamwork as well as, simply to have some fun!
2 days ago, Rui's class had to make cheese sandwiches. She came home, talked a lot about it to us, and told us she wanted to make sandwiches for us. She even thought of mimicking the teacher and wanted to divide us into groups of 2 to allocate the sandwiches. However, since there were only 5 of us in the family, that plan didn't quite work out.
So last night, she tried out what she learnt in school. The procedure went like this (in Rui Rui's words)
1. Ok, first we take out the cheese from the plastic
2. Now, we cut the bread into 2 triangles using a pair of scissors
3. We cut the cheese into triangles using a plastic knife
4. Put the cheese on one triangular piece of bread
5. Put the other triangular piece of bread on top
6. Cut the sandwiches into even smaller triangles for easy eating.
Voila! Rui Rui's self made cheese sandwich. Yan Yan polished off most of it.
