Moon Viewing Cooking @ 千里丘校
10月はお月見クッキングを行いました。
各クラスで事前に日本のお月見という習慣を絵本や歌で学び、クッキングに挑みました。
上新粉と水を混ぜてできた白玉を、食べやすい大きさにちぎり,丸めていきました。単純な作業ですが、丸めた形にそれぞれ違いがでて、それを見て楽しんでいました。ナーサリークラスは前の日から粘土を使って練習していたので、その成果が出て上手に出来ました。ランチタイムには、作ったお月見だんごにきなこをかけて頂きました。
どこのクラスからも“おかわり！”の声がたくさん聞こえてきました。
This month in Japan, we celebrate a festival which helps farmers have a good harvest. It is called 'Moon viewing' and is recognised throughout Asian culture. We always like to expose our children to different countries and their cultures but it is also important to reflect on Japanese customs.
People observe the festival in a number of ways, the most tasty being to make dumplings.
They all listened attentively to why we have Moon viewing but the teachers could tell that they wanted to get their hands messy and start rolling some dumplings.
After washing our hands carefully and putting smocks on, the classes were shown in a variety of ways how to roll the correct shape for the dumpling. This was great for the younger children to practice their fine motor skills and also for the older students to demonstrate their acquired skills.
It was interesting and funny to see the various sizes and shapes being made. Some children forgot the correct hand motion to make the dumpling and ended up making a sausage! However with further assistance all the classes ended up with a tray of dumplings ready to be cooked.
The dumplings came back to the classes at lunchtime and were added to the lunch boxes as a desert. For some reason the eating of lunch seemed to be quicker that day! After adding the soy based covering their was a resounding cry of 'delicious' and a clammer for seconds and thirds.
