Learning to make Pad Thai.

This morning we were really lucky to have one of our children's Mum come into kindergarten to share her skill of making a special dish from their culture, something her child enjoys eating at home.

Children were all enthusiastic to wash their hands and find a seat for themselves and their friends so they could learn something new. 

We explored the ingredients as they were added to the electric frypan and then watched with anticipation what was going to happen next. After the pad Thai was finished being cooked some children took a risk and tried something new. Tu meke, fantastic. 

We are very lucky to have children and their families sharing their skills, knowledge and culture with us here at kindergarten and we all learned something new today and enjoyed experiencing a new taste.
