4's Holiday Fun













This week we created our own cafe in our breakout space!  Set with table cloths and centre pieces, we enjoyed our lunches in our own space. Mr Wagenfeller served our lunch to our cafe and Miss Freer, Mrs Rocca and Miss Kasauskas were the waitresses.
"We need to be responsible to show the Langley children how the big kids act in a restaurant." said Henry
"This is my best cafe I've ever had!" exclaimed Jack.
"I love this restaurant it's so nice!" said Grace.
As the lunch was served to the tables, Grace said "This is exactly what I ordered!"
Having our own space to dine in was so delightful and definitely something that we will continue on occasions in the future. All of the children reflected so positively about the experience and we feel it really gave them a sence of ownership over the space.

To tie in with our week looking at being in a cafe, some children made signs, others made placemats and we looked at how we need to be safe when handleing food to reduce the risk of sharing germs. With the help of a food safety dvd, we learnt that certain foods must always be kept in the fridge. Oliver added that "this is to make sure that the germs don't get in it".

After an utterly delightful week, we are looking forward to another week of holidays to come with many more exciting events in store!

Have a lovely weekend! Kelly and Coney
