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.

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.

praying mantises asked to make real pancakes. Yum!
