The 4’s class had their most awaited

swimming day in school ! Everyone came

to class with much excitement while

wearing their swimsuits. Even the weath-

er cooperated because the sun shined so

bright on the swimming day. All the chil-

dren were ready to get wet, bathe under

the sun, and have fun with their class-

mates. But there’s more! The class did

not only enjoy swimming but everyone

enjoyed barbeque-ing hotdogs with

marshmallows too! The snack for the day

even added more fun! The class had bicho

-bihco and hot chocolate which were very

yummy to eat after the tiring but super

fun swimming activity.

The kids had lots of fun making

pastillas with Mommy Ludette, Rohan’s

mom. She taught the children how to

make a no cook pastillas using con-

densed milk, powdered milk, vanilla and

sugar. It was very simple and easy to

make! The children loved rolling the

pastillas in sugar and even wrapping it in

colored paper. Before the children can

even finish wrapping everything up, all

the pastillas were gone! And all of the

children’s tummies were so full and hap-

py with such yummy pastillas1 Thank

you, Mommy Ludette!

with their families. Participation of both

children and parents were included in

the mechanics of all the games. The

different games and booths were, Dress

Me Up, They See Me Rolling, Complete

Me, and Cupcake Decorating Booth.

There were also free food like taho and

champorado with dilis for everyone! It

was also the time for all families of the

class to gather all together and meet

each other. The children of 4’s class

surely had lots of fun spending the

great day with their loved ones. The

whole CDC community united as one big

family in this very fun and successful

event.

On the last day of classes, Octo-

ber 4, 2013, the 4’s class had their sem-

end culminating activity. The business

minded 4’s thought of putting up a stall

and sell popcorn and juice. They decided

to name their stall in a very witty manner

“Juice ko day!”. Before the popcorn and

juice stall opened, the children first did

major preparations. The popcorn team

with the help of Teacher Rona, repacked

the popcorns into brown paper bags.

While the juice team, with the help of

Teacher Grace and Kuya Bernard, mixed

the juice and transferred it into cups.

When everything was set, the children

brought out their packs of popcorn and

cups of juices to their stall to be ready

for selling. Parents, guardians, teachers,

and the 5’s class were the supportive

customers of the 4’s class. Everything

was gone in such a short time. It was in-

deed a great day to play, learn and earn!

The Fantastic 4’s

Last October 5, 2013, Saturday, the

whole family of CDC came together to

celebrate Family Day. The children,

parents, and relatives of the 4’s class

came on the special day dressed up in

red. The highlight of the day was the

great performance of the class! The

children of 4’s class danced their

hearts out for their families in the

song, Four Hugs A Day! After everyone

has performed, the different classes

were invited to take part in the differ-

ent booths and games prepared for

them. In visiting the different booths,

the children came as a class together

WHO’S BEHIND THE KITCHEN

DOOR?

What’s next after knowing the

sources of food? Preparing them! The

class had a visit to the man behind the

kitchen door, Mang Estoy! He’s the chef

of CDC who prepares all the yummy,

healthy snacks for the everyone! He

taught the children how to make cinna-

mon rolls. Making cinnamoin roils did not

look so easy but they’re indeed very

delicious! Now, the children know that

food are prepared behind kitchen doors

to ensuretheir safety and cleanliness.

Maybe next time, let the children help

in preparing food for the family!

The 4’s class helped in

hunting for the laid eggs.

It was surely a fun way to learn about

the animals as source of food! How does smooth and rough food

feel like? Can I feel it just with my hand?

Or can I also feel it when I eat? The 4’s

class explored the textures of smooth

and rough when it comes to food. They

had maja blanca and gulaman for smooth

and biko and uraro for rough. First they

felt the two textures with their hand and

next they tried feeling the texture as

they tasted and ate the different food.

They also unlocked the words makinis and

magaspang! Smooth feels way better than

rough but all the food did taste good!

S&R: Smooth and Rough

Food can come from dif-

ferent sources. Some

people like food coming

from plants because they

are very healthy and fresh while oth-

ers like food coming from animals be-

cause they’re very tasty! Food coming

from both plants and animals are well

prepared in the kitchen to remove its

dirt and make them even tastier! The

4’s class had their own experiences in

discovering where food can come from.

WHERE DO

FOODS COME

FROM?

FOOD

FROM PLANTS!

Did you know what food as well

as drink s can come from plants!? Yes

they can! And there’s a juice that can

actually come from kamote leaves! The

4’s class had an experiment in making a

juice called, “Magic Juice”. It is called

as such because from a color of dark

green, it turned into light pink upon

addition of calamansi. Who would’ve

thought that kamote leaves can be

turned into such amazing magic juice?

Everyone loved its taste! Not oo sweet

but still very tasty!

FOOD FROM ANIMALS!

The Fantastic 4’s

Animals are probably the

most popular source of food. Kids, as

well as adults just love meat! Even the

4’s class love animals like pig and cow.

They learned that pork and beef are

the correct terms for meat coming

these animals. They also found out

where their favourite pork and beef

dishes are found in the bodies of

these animals. They even solved a puz-

zle to be more familiar about pigs and

cows. But wait! Apart from cow and

beef, food also comes from chickens!

And an enormous chicken laid its eggs

in the playground!

Teacher Grace and Teacher Rona

together with other teachers

planned a weeklong activity in introducing

the different food tastes to the chil-

dren. It started with the story of Stone

Soup, they learned that during hard

times, the people get together and bring

out the best stone soup ever! With a lit-

tle bit of milk, carrot, cabbage, salt, pep-

per, water and anything you can add in,

you can make such great stone soup for

everyone, The children were part of the

story by pretending to be the soldiers

who are the casts in the book. The Stone

Soup was indeed a great way of jump

starting the week.

The series of activities introduc-

ing what food is to the children have

made them aware of where food can

come from, how food is prepared and the

different textures of food. But how can

the children skip the part of learning its

different tastes? The 4’s Class love food!

Every snack time, they really spend a

happy time eating different food with

their classmates. It is just but the right

time to introduce them to the different

food tastes.

Did you know that other than

tasting food, there is still another way to

know how food tastes! That is through

smelling. The 4’s Class also worked their

nose out in smelling different condiments

to know how they actually taste like.

Their faces showed different emotions

when they were smelling the different

condiments! They smelled, soy sauce for

salty, coffee beans for bitter, vinegar

for sour, chopped chili for spicy and va-

nilla for sweet! Now , the children see to

it that they smell food served during

snack. This helps them guess what taste

the food will have once they eat them!

Who would have thought that food smell-

ing an be as fun as food tasting!

What can be the best way to

know the different tastes of food? Taste

them of course! And that is just what the

children of the 4’s class did! They were

given different food having the different

tastes to try. The children were very

adventurous in trying the prepared food

for them. Some were hesitant at first

but when they saw how their classmates

enjoyed tasting the food, they couldn't

wait for themselves to try it too! The

food they tasted were the following: to-

mato for umami, salted egg for salty,

lemon for sour, coffee for bitter and

hopia for sweet. Food tasting is the yum-

miest way to know the different tastes

of food! Will 4’sclass will surely remem-

Glow Food

If you’re looking for food with

vitamins and minerals, go for Glow

food and you’ll never be wrong. These

are the fruits and vegetables that a

lot of people love eating. These food

also make the skin glow and look

young . The 4’s Class talked about

Glow food for a week. They even

watched a video about a child named

Oliver who loves to eat fruits and veg-

etables. They also mixed the colors

red and yellow to make orange for car-

rots and blue and red to make violet

for the grapes.

The 4’s class learned about

the different food groups in a lot of

interesting ways. They discussed Go,

Glow and Grow through games, art

activities, video clips and even hands-

on activities like food preparation.

Food is compose of three food groups

called Go, Glow, and Grow. Every food

group has a responsibility in making

human bodies strong, and healthy. See

how the children of 4’s class discov-

ered the importance of the different

food groups and the examples of food

for every food group.

For the last activity on Go Food,

the children had peanut butter and jelly

sandwich making. Everyone had their op-

portunity to spread peanut butter and

jelly on their bread and put these to-

gether to finish their sandwich. The chil-

dren immediately ate their sandwiches

and some even asked for more. The Go

Food week was absolutely full of fun and

excitement!

The song goes like this:

Go food gives us energy

So we can be happy.

We can run and jump and play

Thanks to Go Foods!

The 4’s class also had an activity about

the pathway of food inside the body.

They learned that food enters the

mouth, goes down the esophagus, then to

the stomach and to the intestines.

The Fantastic 4’s Volume 2

August—October 2013

What food gives us energy? It’s

easy as 1,2,3… Go food! These are

foods made up of carbohydrates and

are responsible for giving everyone

energy to move around. The 4’s class

learned about Go food through Feely

Box. They had to put their hand inside

the box, feel what’s inside and listen

to teacher’s clues about it. Some ex-

amples of Go Food are bread, noodles,

crackers and potatoes. Looks like Go

food is everyone’s favourite. The

teachers also taught the children the

Go Food song. This song makes it easi-

er for everyone to remember what Go

foods are.

The Fantastic 4’s

Grow Food

The last food group discussed in

class is the Grow Food. This food group

is responsible for making children grow

and making bones strong and healthy. It

was introduced in a very interesting game

called, Fours Class Goes to Market. The

children were dressed intro market goers

and they had to look for the grow food

picture on the board that has the same

shape with the grow food outline that

they have. The whole class had a fun time

going to the market. They class also made

egg mosaics of different examples of

grow food. They also learned that Grow

food commonly comes from animals like

pig, cow and chicken!
