Julia Gabriel PlayClub (Term 3 Week 6)

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Angeline
Week 6 at Julia Gabriel. 4 more lessons… We’re counting down to the end of the term! lol.
Theme this week: the letter C.
The art piece the Mandarin teachers prepared: a coral crown:


The English teachers didn’t prepare any art materials that day. Instead, the kids were allowed to make their own cereal crunchies by scooping cornflakes, rainbow sprinkles and a bit of honey and mixing it all up for a pre-snack time snack. 😛
Alicia was more interested in the cereal crunchies than the coral crown but once she reached home, she started plucking out the sequins from the crown and well, she had her fair share of fun there! 😛

New protein food option for the tot

Posted on August 9, 2010 by Angeline
Was at the wet market the other day and the yong tau foo stall assistant recommended this product to me:
This pack costs me $2.50 (200g)
If you eat chawanmushi, you may have come across these cute pieces of fishcake before. The other option apart from pandas was stars and I held both in front of Alicia for her choose and after considering for a short while, she decided to go with the pandas.
These pieces of fishcake aren’t quite the normal fishcake we eat. They are less salty as they are packaged for children and they claim to be high in protein. 
Naturally Alicia was very taken by the appearance of the fishcake during dinner but she took a long time to chew and swallow them… sigh. I’m sure that doesn’t really happen with other kids though. They taste fine to me and I think she may just be consuming these because they are cute rather than for the taste. She was quite excited to bite off the ears… the eyes.. the mouth… and she asked ‘where’s the nose?’ *faint*
