Senior Infants at the Café

Ms O' Neill's Senior Infants have been learning about all aspects of running a cafe during their Aistear play. Taking part in 'Role Play' on this topic has been an enjoyable and educational experience for them. They learned how to compile a menu. The class also learned how to make their own playdough and then used this for making food in the cafe. In addition to this, they used their procedural writing to write recipes for making the playdough and making Rice Krispie Buns (which they enjoyed, thank you very much!). Ms O' Neill's class also learned how to make toast and then wrote the instructions for this task. The children used Maths for measuring the amounts needed for the various recipes. Senior Infants also enjoyed decorating the menu they had made through the medium of print. They used vegetables and paint to put the pretty prints onto the sides of the menu cards.
