Primary 5-7 pupils at Leswalt Primary have recently been learning all about France. As part of their learning experiences the pupils and their teacher Mrs Bathgate organised a French café for their parents and friends of the school.
Pupils created a menu which included croissants, pain au chocolat, tarte au citreon and des gateux. The café was also providing Orangina and chocolat chaud to drink. Pupils were encouraged to take orders from their customers by speaking French.
Visitors paid a donation to sample the French cuisine on offer. The enterprising pupils had also created a recipe book of favourite recipes to sell.
The café was well supported by the local community of Leswalt and the pupils were delighted when final calculations showed they had taken £200.58 in the one hour it was in operation. All profits from this event have gone to Macmillan Cancer research as part of the World’s biggest coffee morning event.
