草莓奶昔 (Shake, Shake, Strawberry Milkshake!)
豆豆班这个学期的主题绘本是《爱吃水果的牛》，为了让幼儿更加直观、有趣的学习不同水果的华语名称、在玩中学习，老师和幼儿们一起开展了“制作草莓奶昔”的烹饪活动。
As our Little Tots engaged in the story-based learning of the book entitled ‘Handa’s Surprise’, they were gradually introduced to the various fruits, such as ‘avocado’, ‘mango’, ‘guava’, ‘banana’ and ‘strawberry’! To further entice the Niwa-ians’ learning, they blended ‘STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE’ with the freshest ingredients! Yum, yum yummy!
首先，老师向幼儿们介绍所需要的材料——新鲜的草莓、牛奶、冰淇淋、冰块。幼儿们通过触摸冰块感知冰块的特质、通过嗅觉感知草莓的气味、通过味觉感知冰淇淋的香甜，在这个过程中，幼儿们充分利用五感感知不同材料。
The teacher first introduced the ingredients to the Niwa-ians, namely ‘strawberries’, ‘milk’, ‘ice-cream’ and ‘ice cubes’. Using most of their 5 senses (touch, sight, smell, and taste), the Niwa-ians spent some time to ‘explore’ the food. They first tasted the ice cubes and exclaimed, “Why is the ice cube so hard?” Some touched the box of the ice-cream and squealed with excitment that it was ‘cold’! While a majority complimented thhat the strawberries were the yummiest that they have ever eaten!
“Iceeeee…..”
“Blossom, cold!!!”
“Shall we share the ice?”
“Ber…. (Strawberry)!”
“Hm……. sour…. “
“My favourite strawberry.”
“Red strawberry (just like my top)!”
“Yummy ice-cream!”
“One big spoonful for Tricia!”
“Chocolate….. yum yum!”
“Mei mei’s turn!”
接着幼儿们依次把草莓、牛奶、冰淇淋和冰块放进搅拌机里，在这个过程中，幼儿们学习怎样用汤匙、怎样把汤匙中的物品放进另一个容器，锻炼了幼儿小肌肉和大肌肉的配合能力。幼儿们观察了搅拌机把所有材料搅拌在一起的过程，丰富了幼儿的生活经验。最后，幼儿们品尝了草莓奶昔——真好喝！
Following next, the Niwa-ians were guided by the teacher to add the ingredients into the eletric blender! One by one, the Niwa-ians worked with the ‘spoon’ as they learnt to scoop the ingredients and pour into the eletric blender without any spillage! That was a great effort for our 2 years old toddlers who have been practicing this skill for a while!
“(I can) help!”
“Tricia can add strawberry.”
“Desiree, well done!”
“Mei Mei likes strawberry.”
“This is too easy for me.”
“And me too.”
“Mei Mei adds milk.”
“Pour the milk.”
“Tricia’s turn now.”
“I probably need to stand to reach.”
“One scoop of ice-cream!”
“(Another scoop of) ice-cream!”
“And another scoop of ice-cream!”
“One final scoop from Mei Mei!”
“Watch that blender!”
Of course, everyone (young and old – teachers) enjoyed a cool cup of ‘Strawberry Milkshake’ to celebrate the wonderful success of this gourmet creation! 3 cheers to our ‘Shake, Shake, Strawberry Milkshake’!
“My first taste of Strawberry Milkshake!”
“Hm…… I like.”
“Seven’s turn to try!”
“Let me smell it, sweet!”
“Gobble it down!”
“Thumb-up for this!”
(Mei Mei gave it a kiss too!)
