Year 1's Entry Point Day - Chilcote Cafe

In Year 1's our topic is We Are What We Eat. This term the children will be learning all about the food for example how it is grown, different food groups, and the importance of washing our hands when we prepare food.

In Year 1 on Wednesday 3rd May, the children started the day by looking at their ingredients and designing menus. The children then had a special talk from Chilcote's own kitchen staff who described the importance of when and why it is so important to wash your hands before and after cooking and eating food! The children then created health no safety posters about the how to wash your hands properly in their Topic books.

In the afternoon children in Year 1 took turns to order, make and eat food in class, whilst enjoying role play with characters such as a waiter, chef and a customer. The children had a wonderful time and a great experience of practising key life skills.
