The idea...

In Term 3, Year 5 students in Room 17 at Woodlands Primary School will take part in a unique pop up restaurant experience.

There will be 3 pop up restaurant evenings in Week 6 of Term 3.
Our class will be split  into teams of 10 and one 11 for each night and each  student will take on either the appetiser (3), main (4) or dessert (3).

There will be a maximum capacity of 20/25 people meaning that parents of each child can attend or one parent and a sibling.  

Patrons will be required to pay for their meal ahead of time for planning purposes.

Why?

This is a Business and Economics Unit   that  combines elements of English, Maths, Technology and Health. I would also like to add in art and music installations from these classes.

Students will be required to: 
  • Survey family on their food preferences  and their ideal budget so teams can understand what  overall costs they are working with as well as what food choices they may need to make for their menu. The results of the surveys will be graphed.
  • Work with multiplication and division of quantities to expand a recipe to more people.
  • Begin to learn about economies of scale.
  • Use  procedural texts to create their recipes.
  • Use persuasive letter writing:
    •  to ask suppliers for cutlery and plate donations
    •  to ask suppliers for cold food storage
    • to ask  the school to give permission to hold the event (technically this has already been approved).
  • Use graphic design to create menus and restaurant theming.
  • Use their healthy food knowledge and food preparation in health to understand  the best foods to include for health, efficiency and cost; and how to prepare the meals.
  • Create a timetable of the day to ensure everything is created with accuracy and efficiency for their team and their guests. 
  • Look at Area to design the optimal table arrangement.
  • Analyse restaurant advertising and establish why businesses advertise in certain ways.
  • Apply their measurement skills when creating and making the recipes and food.​
