The Kindergarten lunch program has begun! In Term Two and Three we will cook lunch together each Monday. This week we made Spaghetti Bolognese and it was enjoyed by everyone! Finn, Bridey, Cora and Hollie were our chefs this week and they peeled, grated, chopped, stirred, served and cleaned up.  Meanwhile the rest of the class set the table, organised cutlery and bowls and decorated our tables with flowers and candles (don’t worry, they are the kind with batteries!), scraped their plates and helped pack up the tables.

Cooking together is such a valuable way to spend time with your children and there are so many benefits!

 Why should you cook with your children?

• It is a life skill
• You develop adventurous eaters
• Health benefits
• Physical development – particularly fine motor skills
• Language, maths, science, creativity
• Builds relationships
• Builds confidence
• FUN!
