Bond & Build 01: Warmth and love fill the kitchen in hands-on baking workshop

19/09/2026

The pineapple cake baking activity offered parents and students the chance to become "bakers" for a day, while fostering deeper connection and mutual understanding within families.

Parents and students enjoyed a memorable, joy-filled weekend today as they participated in the inaugural "Bond & Build 01" experiential workshop. Organized by the School Psychology Department at Greenfield School Ecopark Campus, the program aimed to provide families with meaningful opportunities to interact, collaborate, and connect through engaging hands-on activities.

At Bond & Build 01, parents and children stepped into the shoes of bakers to try their hand at making traditional pineapple cakes. Under the dedicated guidance of the School Psychology staff and secondary student volunteers, families worked together through every stage of the baking process - from dividing the filling and kneading the dough to shaping the pastries and monitoring oven temperatures.

Each step, while seemingly simple, carried valuable lessons in patience, empathy, and teamwork. Although the hand-crafted cakes varied in shape and size, every finished treat represented a shared triumph. Most importantly, the workshop offered families quality time together to create and bake sweet treats infused with love.

"At home, we often cook simple meals together, but this is the first time the kids and I have baked cakes as a team," shared Ms. Bui Thu's family. "The experience was truly exciting and meaningful." Meanwhile, Ms. Trinh Hang's family noted: "When I dropped my child off at school this morning, he thought he would be participating alone. Learning that I would be joining him to bake brought an unforgettable smile to his face."

In addition to baking, interactive mini-games played while waiting for the dough to rest and the cakes to bake added energy to the workshop atmosphere, bringing parents and children even closer together. Ultimately, the cozy kitchen proved to be a powerful setting - one capable of filling every participating family with warmth and happiness.
