Our daily food - the power of bento !
Food is such an important part of our daily life, giving nourishment for body and soul, showcasing cultural habits and celebrating special occasions.
In Japan there is the wonderful custom of eating “o-bento” for lunch or any occasion that requires a neatly packed box full of goodies and love.
The children in Pre-KG also enjoy their daily o-bento and often talk excitedly about their mum, dad or grandparents making it. It is heartwarming to see that the children really cherish this effort and the connection it gives them between home and school.
Taking a clue from their daily habit of eating their bento lunches, the children have been starting to make their own (pretend bentos) at school. Luckily their teacher had accumulated a lot of recycled bento boxes, so the children laid out a real feast.
There was a lot of food on the table - healthy bentos, sumptuous bentos and some yummy looking fruit tarts.
The children also thought about providing water, realising that we need to drink as well as eat.
Everyone was happy to see the delicious food on the table and we are all blessed and lucky to have our nourishing food made with love every day !
