`can't get you out of my album of memories;

Wednesday, September 3, 2008 --*

As part of the Reading Programme the P4 Level is embarking, i had organised sushi making as an extension activity from the book the class had read before which is "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Crane". Since the book originated from Japan, it would be good if the pupils were exposed to some of the Japanese Culture.

As part of the post CA2 activity, the pupils needed to bring an apron to prepare for the sushi making. Everyone was very excited. The ingredients were prepared by the teacher and the pupils were divided into groups. I demonstrated the making of the sushi under the visualiser and after that, the pupils got the chance to do it for themselves! Each group was given some sushi rice, seaweed, soya sauce and also the toppings (eg sausages, cucumber, crabstick and omelette) to prepare for the sushi.

On top of that, we also had a tea ceremony whereby pupils had a chance to taste green tea. Rachel Chua and some other pupils had kindly brought their green tea bags and gave one tea bag to their classmates. The rest of the pupils got their green tea bags from me which i specially bought them from Daiso. Last but not least, the Japanese snacks that the pupils brought earlier were distributed to their classmates as a treat to them during recess! What an interesting and enjoyable day!
