Today’s post comes courtesy of Miss C – who started Grade 1 this year, and has been delivering her first ever school projects. The focus last term was on healthy eating and lifestyles (something we are only too happy to embrace!) and saw the students do 3 presentations on various topics.
The first project required the students to cook a healthy meal and present it to the class. When tasked with the project, Miss C had no hesitation in suggesting that she make her healthier fried rice – aka something that my kids request quite often for lunch or dinner. Sure it has a little bacon, but the remaining ingredients are healthy, and the method is simple, making it a rather perfect meal for kids to help create and share!
Miss C had so much fun measuring out the ingredients, and setting up her cooking equipment. She then created a poster, outlining the various steps – as follows…
- Get your ingredients. On this occasion it was brown rice, peas, corn, bacon and a little soy sauce. We’ve also used carrots, zucchini and eggs on previous occasions.
2. Grab a pan and heat a little oil over a medium heat (with the help of a grown up of course!).
3. Add your ingredients, heat and stir.
4. Serve and Enjoy!
My little budding chef and her grand creation. And I’m told she did beautifully in presenting her project to the class also (proud parent moment right there!!)
It’s always so good when kids learn to cook and learn how to prepare and cook healthy food.
