Baking Class
We had the chefs from Raffles Hotel to teach us how to bake the bread and butter pudding. Children were made to see, smell, touch and taste the natural raw materials (e.g. cinnamon and vanilla pods) used to bake the pudding, which was very educational. They were also taught to keep the cooking area clean and dry as well as to wash the utensils properly after each cooking session. The recipe was easy to follow and the end product was yummy!
Drama Class
The first session was relatively quieter as the children were shyer. However, during the second session, the children were very active and open. They made use of their body language and facial expressions to display their emotions. Some impromptu comments and movements they made really crack the instructor and helpers up, I could not stop giggling and laughing!
Project Runway
The children were separated into the different teams and were asked to think about their favorite animal. After which, they were briefed to make use of the recycling materials available to make a costume of that animal they had in mind.
I was encouraged by some children who volunteered to be the model for the group. Their enthusiasm was infectious as the other group members began to contribute excellent ideas to the costume. Some parents also took a step forward to help.
The models were then asked to parade along the reception area, pretending to be the animal they were dressed in. The shyer children braved through the crowd nonetheless. After the parade, some children insisted on keeping and bringing their costumes home, this shows how much they value and treasure the costume they had made.
All in all, I enjoyed myself tremendously with the children, the staff of LAA and my team mates in 'The Oneders'. I brought home a handmade badge as well as loads of happy memories!
Thanks to everybody, who played significant roles in this memorable event of mine!
