Introduction to Food

“Yummy, Yummy Food” is the topic name that the children had chosen.

Teacher: Why do you need to eat food? [None of the children could really answer that, so I changed my question.]

Teacher: When will you feel like to eat food? What happen if you don’t eat food?

Pin Jee: Hungry. [He said that in Mandarin.]

Thong Xuan: Your hand will be thin.

Teacher: Yes, we need to eat food as we will feel hungry. Food will give us energy so that we could be strong and healthy.

We went through some food that we can eat such as bread, egg, pizza etc and drink such as milk, coffee, tea, water etc.

So the children took turn to tell me what they like to eat and drink.

Then I also introduced the name for the 3 meals that we all have everyday – breakfast, lunch and dinner.

At the same time, I also introduced the place to cook at home – the kitchen. Pin Jee has a picture dictionary about “kitchen”. Therefore, we went through the things that we can find in the kitchen such as stove, refrigerator, sink etc.
