Cookery I Research

Cookery

Our children enjoy regular cookery activities. These fun activities promote co-operation and communication, as well as healthy attitudes towards food and eating. Cooking activities provide a natural integration of many learning areas. Children develop a better understanding of hygiene whilst strengthening their application of mathematical concepts such as counting, measuring and estimating. They develop language skills through discussions, questions and describing the process. Their fine motor skills and their self-help skills are further strengthened as they take an active part in practical hands-on activities.

Research

Our Research centre involves two main areas – science-based activities to explore and activities involving the computer. Children are introduced to the basics of the keyboard and search for information through a variety of activities. They explore a range of scientific concepts such as light, nature, balance, colour, force, motion, senses and water. As part of the ‘Discovery of the World’ learning area, activities also incorporate further exploration of the theme. Our focus is on exploring and discovering, as well as developing the children’s abilities to problem-solve, question and share their findings.
