World's longest paper chain?

Here is the massively long paper chain the class made which ran down the main corridor, into the cafe, around the cafe and back down the corridor to the start again.

A rare moment of calm before the storm. This is the kitchen minutes before the cafe opened and the orders started coming through. Here are the cooks in the first shift standing by at their posts.

Community Lunch

On Friday 26th March we did a community lunch. Every one had jobs like waiters, maitre d' hotel, chefs and commissionaires. We swapped over jobs about every 45mins.
So many people came that we had to open another room. It got very busy about 12:30 and every one was very rushed. Menace's dad came in to help cook and serve the food because hess a chef and knows how to cook. Her mum also came in to help. Ponakin's, Nonny's, Izzy's, Swagger's and Pony's mum came in and also helped us.

When we started making the food we had to start making the room we were using more cafe-friendly. We got paper and covered the tables and then drew on Easter and cafe decorations. People in the class brought in flowers and vases and we put them on the table to make it look nicer. We had a paper chain from the door to the cafe so that people could follow it and end up at the cafe.

At 9:30am we stated preparing and making the food for the afternoon. We buttered loads of bread ( white and brown ) and we made the sandwich fillings. We made tuna sweetcorn, coronation chicken, cheese and ham. The soups were lentil and chicken noodle. We also made scones but they sold very quickly and we ran out near the end.

Some parents from our class had lunch and we got to have lunch we they did.

There was tea and coffee and you could just help your self. We were allowed second helping of the soup and free refills of the juice. There was black current and orange juice for the people who wanted it.

Mr Devereux came to the cafe and we took his order and served him ! It was funny to be serving your teacher! Hee hee.

We had great fun! >

Community lunch!

Last week we had a school community lunch. We held this event because we wanted to raise money for the SSPCA which is a charity that rescues animals from cruelty conditions. We raised around £300 but once we took of the expenses of food and use of the mugs, plates, bowls and more things from the kitchen we made about £200 profit.

It was a really good day and learnt that it is hard being a waiter/chef in a café. It’s a lot harder than it looks.

Well done!

Well done to everyone in P7 for all you did for the community lunch. You were toptastic! The customers loved the table decorations, Easter table cloths, quality food and good service. You were a terrific team and all worked very hard. I'm proud of you. A big THANK YOU to Menace's dad for running the kitchen and teaching the class how to prepare food so well. THANK YOU also to the mums of Izzy, Nonny, Ponakins, Pony and Swagger for giving up your morning to work in the cafe or the kitchen. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you to all of you who came along to support us. We've done very well and will announce the sum raised on Monday along with photos and feedback from the class.

Community lunch update

Our update for our community lunch.

Yesterday we did loads of planning for the lunch . We made the shopping list, and the menu, planned the layout of the room and started to design table decorations. Today we are going to spend the day planning and making our restaurant room look real. we are going to serve homemade (school made) soup and sandwiches. We are also going to serve drinks: tea, coffee, maybe hot chocolate, fresh apple and diluting orange. We hope it is going to go brilliantly!!!!!

Community Lunch

In our class we are raising money for the SSPCA, a charity that helps animals. What we are going to do is a Community Lunch which is when we invite the public to our school and they order food, like a cafe. We have been planning what we are going to sell. We know the soups we are going to sell which is lentil and chicken soup. We came up with lots of different soup but we chose those two. We are thinking of what sandwiches we are going to sell. Like the soup we came up with lots of ideas like: ham and cheese, cheese and tamato, bacon, BLT which is bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, sausage and lots more. We will be also be selling scones, tea and coffee. There will be jobs for us to do like being a waiter, preparing the food and taking the money from costumers. It will all take place this Friday the 26th. Menace's dad will be helping out with the cooking and giving tips. He decided that sandwiches would sell better than rolls.

Bye,
Squiddy and Nonny.
