Ice cream project exhibition

New generation ice cream shop

 What a humongous ice cream
This is an exhibition of the art and craft that the children at Carpe Diem made for the ice cream project.   All the art and craft were made from recycled material.   They are simply amazing!

Png Png was fascinated with this ice cream dispensing machine.   He kept sticking out his tongue below the dispenser pretending to eat the different flavors of ice cream

Udders ice cream factory visit

Carpe Diem was working on a project on Ice cream.  One of the activities for this project was to visit ice cream factory.    Udders ice cream factory was chose for the visit
I was worried that Png Png could not visit the Udders ice cream factory as he had asthma attack and was absent since Monday.   Luckily he was much better and I accompanied him to the factory visit. 

There were 2 school buses that brought the children to Udders ice cream factory at Siglap.   Suprisingly there were only N2 class in one of the buses, so there were many empty seats.
Wall deco in the Udder ice cream factory. 


The children were very excited to learn how to make ice cream.   Poor Png Png could only observe since he is allergic to dairy, even the touch of milk.  
He was rather bored after a while.   He occupied himself by walking up and down the spiral staircase in the outlet.



















Ingredients for making ice cream - milk, cream, sugar, vanilla essence, salt, ice cubes.
Steps for making ice cream.  
Mixed milk and cream

Stir in sugar, followed by vanilla essence

Put in zig lock bag and shake


Put salt in ice cubes

Put zig lock bag of milk and cream to the bottom of ice

Roll in towel and shake.

After the children were done, it's ice cream time.   Each child was allowed to choose a scoop of ice cream.  
One of the staff at Udders was very sweet to give Png Png a scoop of sorbet which does not contain milk.  

This is the first time Png Png tasted something closed to ice cream. 



















Heavenly yummy.....



















Bee hoon for lunch.   Png Png took his lunch before heading home.     He wanted to follow me home instead of staying behind.

Carpe Diem farwell cum alumni party

Director of Carpe Diem sent me a message to check if Chen Chen could share his primary school experience with the graduating K2 kids at K2 farewell party. I told her I will check with Chen Chen as he might be shy to speak in front of the class. Chen Chen anxiously agreed to join the party but not the part on sharing his experience. I told him the main purpose is for him to share his experience transiting from childcare center to primary school. He won't be able to attend the party if he doesn't want to share his experience. He agreed UNWILLINGLY. Hahaha....

My parents sent Chen Chen to Carpe Diem the same time they sent Png Png there.


It was a fun party with games, food, magic show.
