7 year old chefs, can you beat that?

Most parents, especially mothers, would wish that they can take leave from kitchen work even for a day. Mind you, I'm not talking about bringing the family out for a meal. Imagine your cute daughters or sons running home to tell you, "Mommy, let me cook for everyone today! You should just rest and I'll prepare your favorite meal, chicken rice!"

Do not pinch yourself, you are definitely NOT dreaming because the students from South View Primary are exposed to culinary learning as young as 7 years old! A cozy and clean kitchenette was built in 2006 to nurture little innochefs (innovative chef). The students will be brought to the supermarkets to get inspiration for their meals and create their own secret recipes for that! Pizzas, chicken rice, a typical 1 rice 3 dishes meal, these children can do anything! Amazing, huh?!


Now for the best part, the next goal for the students is to create ethnic food hailing from far away land, Kazakhstan because the school is hosting Kazakhstanis for the upcoming Youth Olympic Games 2010! I bet most of the KooReaders do not know what are the authentic cusine Kazakhstanis have! Well, let these students from South View Primary teach you!

Apart from just cooking, students are also trained in digital art-making using different softwares in their Digital Studio. At the end of the lesson, they would be able to create a beautiful batik art piece.

The best batik pieces and Mrs Mazlan, HOD IT and their in-house trainer.

Don't they just look like real paintings?

So, you must be wondering whats the relation of these with KooBits? Well, South View Primary has been using KooBits to keep recounts of the interesting activities happening in school. The very first one that you are seeing is their cooking lesson! I hope you don't drool!
