Enthusiastic kindergarten students eagerly took part in the Little Chef event ‘Healthy Treats.' They assisted their mom’s in preparing a healthy meal. GIIS Balestier kindergarten students and their mothers assembled in the canteen to prepare a healthy dish using the main ingredients coconut, cheese, spinach, and corn. Spending time with their mom’s and cooking new recipes helps children to develop a positive connection to all different types of foods including fruits and vegetables. Children also learn necessary cooking skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.
