The Story of The

ISM SPICY FOOD RESTAURANT

The FoodWe started by making different foods at the play dough table and in the kitchen. We were interested in cooking different foods and serving them to teachers and friends.

The RestaurantSoon the idea came from the children to change the kitchen area into a restaurant. The role playing began. Waiters, waitresses, cashiers, cooks and customers were the roles that were explored.

The Role PlayingSpicy food started to be

served by the chefs in the kitchen. Spicy sausages,

spicy bread, spicy pancakes etc! There was no escaping

the spices and chillies!

Making the sign for the restaurant

There was no doubts about what the name of our

restaurant would be. The name of ‘Spicy Food

Restaurant’ was voted by all

Menu making began. Foods were drawn, printed and scribed by the children.

and thought of, by the children.

A Visit to A Real CafeteriaWe went to the ISM café to observe the different roles and the set up. We also bought eggs in preparation to make real pancakes.

CookingPancakes were a popular choice in the ISM spicy food restaurant so the

praying mantises asked to make real pancakes. Yum!
