Cherie Hearts Kidz Campus @Pasir Ris Elias Mall - Event : “Excursion to Tea House on 8 May 2018 (Tuesday). and “Mother’s Day Celebrations on 11 May 2018

For our K2 Chinese curriculum, we have a few lessons on topics about tea.

In line with the objective of fun learning in Chinese Language and also to facilitate our children to have an authentic learning experience, we planned for an excursion for our K2 children to visit an Authentic Tea House (as one of our lessons) on 8 May 2018.

For the excursion, we had a prior meeting with the Tea Art Master to share about our Lesson objectives and topics to cover.

Thereafter, we discussed and confirmed the programme for the day of excursion.

Days before the excursions, the teacher conducted a “Pre-Excursion” lessons so that our K2 children would have some knowledge about Chinese Tea and Tea Culture.

On 8 May 2018 (Tuesday), our K2 Excursion to Tea House

Tea Art Master shared with children about the origins of tea, various types of tea, benefit of tea, and tea culture.

The Tea Art Master shared about unique names of utensils for making tea an tea appreciation.

The Master also demonstrated to our K2 children on traditional way of making tea and tea appreciation procedure.

During sharing session, there were interactions between the Tea Art Master and our children with questions and answers.

After sharing session, the children started their very first “Tea Appreciation” experiences with guidance from teachers.

The children also enjoyed tasting the traditional boiled “Tea Eggs” (i.e. eggs boiled with flavourings include tea.)

A group photograph was taken in the Tea House.

On 9 May 2018 (Wednesday), teacher conducted Post Excursion session with children.
