The Primary 4/5 class had an exciting day on their food tour of Dundrum, this was part of their WAU topic ‘Food’. Their first stop was the Tonn Ruray, where the children learned to make pancakes and cookies, they got to decorate their cookies after. The children also discovered how to make lemonade fizzy using baking soda and citric acid. Owner Michael explained how prices are set, considering costs such as, staff wages, electricity and ingredients.
Next, at Cúpla, Dom and Naomi shared their experience 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 grandfathers influence on his cooking and the importance of using seasonal, sustainable ingredients. The class left with tasty baked goods to enjoy back at school!
The Primary 4 and 5 class were able to investigate how food is prepared and cooked, we also explored the cultural significance of different recipes with a parent of our own pupil, Harry Stott. Thank you for the demonstration Adrian.
