I was late to kindy this morning. I suppose to be there early to snap photos as today the children will learn how to bake cookies. Thru this activity, I hope that the children will learn how to measure the ingredient (mathematical sense), make the dough and mould into favourite shapes(motor skills), and understand that we need heat to bake cookies in oven (basic science). Most importantly, the kids were having fun by doing it.
When I reached there, my principal has taken the photos, while the children were busy placing their cookies on tray and waiting for baking process. They’re all delighted to see the baked cookies and couldn’t wait to taste them. I took a piece, it surely doesn’t taste as good as those commercial cookies, but I was proud of the children. I can see that they put lots of effort in doing it, and really hope that their mummies and daddies would like it too. One child told me that she’d like her gong-gong and poh-poh to try too. Too bad each children can only bring home 5 cookies, if not they can share with more members of the family.
I can’t wait for the day when Justin is old enough to bake cookies for me. Even if it’s burnt, I’ll sure be eating it with a proud smile.
