Our Reception students had a wonderful “From Market to the Table” experience together with their parents. They began by visiting the market and choosing the foods they love and would like to cook.
Back in the classroom, the children explored their food choices and sorted them onto a Food Plate, identifying different food groups, including protein, grains, dairy, vegetables, and fruits. They then worked together to decide which ingredients they could use to prepare delicious dishes, including chicken soup, rice, and smoothies.
The most exciting part was getting hands-on! 👩🍳👨🍳 The children helped prepare and cook their chosen foods, explored different ingredients, and finally sat together to taste and enjoy the food they had prepared.
To finish the experience, the children learned about responsibility and good hygiene by washing the ingredients they had used and cleaning up after cooking.
It was a meaningful learning experience that connected food, healthy choices, family, independence, and real-life skills—from the market to their table! 🍽️✨
