Sushi Making Workshop
Better than playing
with Plastercine!
by Hazel Faye Jingco
Making sushi is not as easy as you think. The rice is sticky and it
takes some skill and patience to make rice beds that won’t crumble
when you pick them up with your chopsticks. Making sushi is a bit
like playing with plastercine, only a lot more fun since you get to eat
the end product! So there they were the kids, twenty of them, wrapping,
rolling and squeezing away at their work-stations!
They made Egg Mayo Roll, California Maki, Garden Roll and Crab
Stick Roll, and once they became more confident, tried to create
their own combination of sushi toppings. The kids and their families
all got to eat sushi for lunch – yum!
Little Scientist Workshop
Exploring the wonders
of Science
by Hazel Faye Jingco
On 21 November, 38 budding scientists joined Professor
Messy in exploring the wonders of Science. The
Professor started the session with a series of optical illusions
which were simply magical! He then showed off
his latest invention – the “Bananatronic” – which could
make a rubber ball jump to the height of a tall tree!
The kids also played with Professor Messy’s “magic
solution” which created bubbles that bounced on their
hands. And finally they pieced together their very own
boomerangs which they brought home after the workshop.
