• Food Tour of Dundrum

  Mon 14 Oct 2024

  Mr Doyle’s P4/P5 class had an exciting day on their food tour of Dundrum as part of their WAU topic, 'Food.' 

  Their first stop was the Tonn Ruray, where the children learned to make pancakes and cookies, decorating their cookies afterward. They also discovered how to make lemonade fizzy using baking soda and citric acid. Owner Michael explained how prices are set, considering costs like staff wages, electricity and ingredients.

  Next, at Cúpla, Dom and Naomi shared their experience of sourcing coffee from Colombia and discussed the significance of Fair Trade products. The children enjoyed sampling chocolate brownies and hot chocolate.

  Finally, at Scopers, Paul spoke about his grandfather's influence on his cooking and the importance of using seasonal, sustainable ingredients. The class left with tasty baked treats to enjoy at school!

  A big thanks to the two Michael’s, Claire, Karina and grandma Ann in the Tonn Ruray, to Dom and Naomi from Cúpla and to Paul at Scopers.
