Bitter Day

So far, the “Sweet Day” and the “Salty Day” went well. I wonder what the children will bring for “Bitter Day”. I’m looking forward to it as well.

Early in the morning, the Starfruit class children already started to talk about the food they brought for “Bitter Day”. I could hear they mentioned about dark chocolate.

 

So let see what they had brought for the theme of the day:

Ee Wern : Bitter gourd cooked by her grandma

Huey Xin: Dark Chocolate with 60% cocoa

Zen Hong: Dark Chocolate from Cadbury

Pin Jee: Dark Chocolate with 72% cocoa

Yee Hin: Boh’s Black Tea

Since there were 3 types of dark chocolate with different percentage of cocoa in its content, therefore, we started with Zen Hong’s Cadbury dark chocolate, then followed by Huey Xin’s dark chocolate and lastly Pin Jee’s dark chocolate. The children get to taste the different bitterness in each type of chocolate. They even concluded that Pin Jee’s 72% cocoa dark chocolate taste the most bitter among all the three chocolate.

After that, the children tried out the bitter gourd brought by Ee Wern. Surprisingly, some of the children love it and they even asked for more.

Lastly, everyone got a cup of black tea. At first, only a few children said they want to try while others just looked on. I encouraged them to try just a sip. Out of expectation, the children cried, “It’s delicious. Can I have some more?” Most of them had second round of the black tea before we ended our session today.

This is the poster we did for “Bitter Day”.
