We are fortunate to have kitchen facilities in our building and we use this area to run practical sessions about food preparation and storage. The students really enjoy this because it is 'hands on' and they get to enjoy a meal together afterwards! The students have to design a menu and then prepare one meal from the menu.
That sounds really tasty :)!!
ReplyDeleteHow does it work with food at the pre-schools in Australia? Do the children get lunch for free?
ReplyDeleteIn Sweden breakfast, lunch and snack are included in the fee that the parents pay. I have three boys and one is in pre-school (he is 2,5 year) and we pay approximately 200 AUD a mounth. I think that is quite cheap when he is there 35 hours a week.
Hi Petra,
DeleteIn child care centres the food is included in the fees that parents pay on enrolement. I'm not sure of the fees but is based on your income. I don't think it would be as cheap as it is in Sweden!!!
When children start kindy (about 4 years old) and pre-primary then parents have to provide lunch and snacks, or pay to order them from the school canteen.
In Sweden the fee is also based on your income. If you don´t earn any money the pre-school is for free and we also have something that are called maximum fee. That´s the highest fee you can pay so it doesn´t become to expensive.
DeleteMy son went to a childcare centre where there was a cook who created enticing and healthy food every day for morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. Its good that your students get a chance to do some cooking, and to talk about healthy food that is enticing for children. Do they prepare any of this food for the playgroup?
