“不是做好吃的吗，为什么还要看书呀？”在阅读烘焙课上，有个小朋友疑惑地问道。

Cathy老师耐心地向同学们解释，在我们的生活中，阅读的形式是多样化的。阅读书本是一种阅读形式，用心观察现实中的烘焙工具、食材、食物变化的状态，也是一种阅读形式。在老师的细心讲解下，小朋友们纷纷跟随老师的步伐，开始研究如何做美食。

这是一堂阅读烘焙课的小插曲。每周三下午，在课外拓展活动课程期间，同学们会来到烘焙教室，跟随老师们学习烘焙和生活技能。

 "Why do we need to read books if we'relearning how to bake delicious food?" a student asked with confusionduring a baking class.

Patiently, Ms Cathy explainedto the students that reading takes various forms in our lives. Reading books isone form, but observing baking tools, ingredients, and the changing states offood in the real world is also a form of reading. With the careful guidance ofMs Cathy, the students eagerly followed her lead and began exploring the art ofcreating culinary delights.

This was a little anecdotefrom a reading and baking class. Every Wednesday afternoon, duringextracurricular enrichment activities, the students would gather in the bakingclassroom to learn baking skills and life skills from their teachers.

在学习如何烘焙蛋糕之前，老师会让同学们打开《烘焙的基本》这本书，查阅烘焙所需要的工具，并将书上的工具和眼前真实的工具对应起来。

小朋友们不知道书中的“刨屑器”为何物，刚好有位学生想做柳橙戚风蛋糕。于是，老师顺势让孩子们对照着书本，现场展示刨屑器的形状特点、使用方法等，并让小朋友们学习使用刨屑器。同学们在实操中加深了对不同烘焙工具的印象。

Before learning how to bakecakes, the teacher would have the students open the book "Baking Basics"and look up the tools needed for baking. They would then match the toolsmentioned in the book with the actual tools in front of them.

The children were unfamiliarwith the "zester" mentioned in the book, and coincidentally, onestudent wanted to make an orange chiffon cake. Seizing the opportunity, theteacher had the students compare the shape, characteristics, and usage of thezester as shown in the book and demonstrated how to use it on the spot. Thestudents learned to use the zester through hands-on practice, deepening theirunderstanding of different baking tools.

在老师的指引下，孩子们翻开不同的烘焙书，在书中找到自己喜欢的点心，并记录烘焙要点。一位同学学习很认真，她会先看图书的目录、锁定喜欢的糕点，再打开书查看烘焙步骤，具备了查阅资料的意识。她说，“我要学着做最好吃的那款糕点，在家里做给爸爸妈妈吃。”

小朋友们分了组别，分别在Cathy和Verna老师的带领下，按着书中的步骤进行糕点制作。在这堂课上，他们学会了分离蛋清蛋白、使用打蛋器、装裱糕点等。当全部糕点制作好放入烤箱后，同学们还将烘焙要点做好笔记，培养了边学习边记录的习惯。

当全部的糕点都分装好后，老师和小朋友们一起上手，把桌子擦干净、物品归类，将各类使用过的烘焙工具放到水池中，对它们进行清洗。每位小朋友都逐渐具备“打扫卫生也是生活的一部分”的意识。Cathy老师说道，烘焙是一种治愈心灵的艺术，它可以带给人们温暖和喜悦。希望同学们未来在异国他乡生活时，可以从烘焙中汲取治愈的能量。

Under the guidance of the teacher, thechildren opened different baking books, found their favourite pastries, andrecorded the essential baking points. One student was particularly diligent inher studies. She would first look at the table of contents, identify her favouritepastry, and then open the book to the corresponding page to view the bakingsteps, demonstrating a conscious effort to seek information. She said, "Iwant to learn how to make the most delicious pastry and bake it for my parentsat home."

The children were dividedinto groups and led by teachers Cathy and Verna to follow the steps in thebook. This class taught them how to separate egg whites, use an eggbeater, anddecorate pastries.  After placing all thepastries in the oven, the students also made notes on the essential baking points,cultivating a habit of learning, and recording simultaneously.

When all the pastries packaged,the teachers and the children started to clean the tables, organise the items,and collect all the baking tools used, washing them in the sink. Each childgradually realised that "cleaning is also a part of life". Ms Cathysaid that baking is a healing art that brings warmth and joy to the soul.  She hoped that in the future, when thestudents live in foreign countries, they can draw healing energy from baking.

傍晚，夕阳拉长了小朋友们的身影，他们笨拙地兜着一袋袋小蛋糕走向校门口。路过的同学们循着香味问道，“这是什么，这么香！分我一个吧。”被讨要糕点的小朋友扬起小脸，护着食，“就一个，不能再多了，这是我自己做的蛋糕，要带回家给爸爸妈妈吃。”

孩子们将用心制作的甜蜜，传递给朋友和家人。学校希望学生们有一颗热爱生活的心，学会分享美好。与此同时，学校亦鼓励孩子们积极探究、勤于思考。同学们可以通过在阅读烘焙课上提出问题、进行独立探究、阅读结合实际等方式，学习生活技能、培养解决问题的能力。

As evening approached, the setting sunstretched the children's shadows as they clumsily carried bags of small cakestowards the school gate. Passing classmates followed the aroma and asked,"What's that? It smells so good! Give me one." The child who wasasked for the pastries lifted a small face, protecting the food, and said,"Just one, no more. These are the cakes I made myself. I want to bringthem home to my mom and dad."

The children shared the sweetness they hadcarefully crafted with friends and family. FCG hopes that its students will have a heart full of love for life andlearn to share the beauty. At the same time, FCG also encourages children toexplore and think critically. Students can learn life skills and developproblem-solving skills by asking questions during baking classes, conductingindependent inquiry, and combining reading with practice during thereading-baking class.
