Learning Objectives : To bake Chocolate Chips Cookies for Valentine's Day / observe how the oven bakes the cookies / practise motor skills
Description : The children baked Chocolate Chips Cookies to celebration Valentine's Day in school. They were not only good helpers throughout this baking experience, they made good observers too. As the teacher introduced the ingredients (cookie mix, butter and egg) to the children, some of them exclaimed that the butter is yellow in colour. During the baking experience, the children's roles included adding the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl and blending them well using the whisk manually. The second task reuqired a lot of effort and strength to complete independently. The children definitely deserved a big round of applause from all of us! The teachers then helped to shape the ready cookie dough into baking pieces and sent them to the oven for baking. As they walked to the oven, Royce and Caden pointed to it and warned their friends not to go too near the hot oven. Well done, boys! Last but not least, the children were the first to savour their home-made Chocolate Chips cookies before the teachers packed some home for them to share with their Mummies and Daddies. Yippie!
