Executive Chef Visit: A Taste of Spain. On the 26th of February, Hanova had the pleasure of hosting a Spanish food promotion with Sodexo’s regional chef Mr. Juan Casado from Spain. Chef Casado has 20+ years of culinary art experience and worked in his home country, Spain, before moving to China.
In addition to crafting a magnificent lunch, Chef Casado also led a cooking class with year 5 students where they discovered a taste of Spanish culture and made “Pan con tomate” tapas and “Mantecados” Christmas cookies.
During lunch time our students, teachers, and staff could taste Spanish specialties such as Tortilla (Spanish Potato omelet), Carcamusas (braised pork with sausage), and world famous black rice seafood Paella. He also prepared Churros right before our eyes which was a hit for everyone.
Yet another nice and memorable day in Hanova!
Did You Know?! Dr. Seuss Week, held this week from March 3 to 7, celebrates the life and work of Dr. Seuss, a beloved children's author known for his imaginative stories and playful rhymes. He is considered one of the greatest children's authors because his books make reading fun and accessible, using rhythmic language and creative storytelling to engage young readers.
This event helps students develop essential literacy skills by enhancing their vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and reading fluency. By participating in themed activities, students gain confidence in reading and develop a lifelong love for books.
We have set up a special station on the first floor of the PYP building throughout this week, where students can enjoy Dr. Seuss books in an engaging way through videos of parents reading aloud. We’re very grateful to our parents who have read different Dr. Seuss books, bringing the stories below to life for our students:
- Green Eggs and Ham 绿鸡蛋和火腿
- I Can Read With My Eyes Shut! 我闭着眼睛也能看书！
- The Cat in the Hat 戴帽子的猫
