Brock Kids Shop at Farmers Market in Sandwich Town
As part of the “You’re the Chef” program, children from our General Brock summer program make their weekly trip to the Farmers Market in Sandwich Town. Being a few blocks away staff and children make their way “down Sandwich” to shop and pick out the fruits and vegetables they want to make fruit smoothies and veggie pizzas. When the children return to the centre they start to prepare snacks for the day. They start by washing their hands properly then wash the fruits and veggies before they start cutting and prepping. Children are learning basic kitchen silks such as hand-washing, cleaning, chopping and preparing different fruits and veggies. They are also learning how to properly hold and use a kitchen knife and using a grater. Children are also learning about selecting and purchasing different types of fruits and vegetables. What a great learning experience.
