Creative and Hands-on Activities

These sessions cover a range of areas including: basic kitchen safety, how to measure your ingredients, as well as activities designed to help students learn to use the oven and the stove. At the end of the sessions children will have their own recipe book full of the different recipes they have made. 

In this activity we cultivate a fun and enriching experience by introducing the students to gardening.

This is for children who enjoy creating things and experimenting with different materials.
