☕ Grade 7’s Café Plan — “The Sunshine Spoon”
WHEN: Saturday 14 June, 1–4 p.m. · WHERE: the school hall · WHY: All the profit goes to the Sunbeam Bay Animal Shelter.
THE MENU: 🧁 Tom’s banana muffins — £1 · 🍪 chocolate chip cookies — 50p · 🥪 cheese and tomato sandwiches — £1.50 (vegetarian) · 🌯 rainbow wraps — £2 · 🍋 homemade lemonade — 80p · 🧃 apple juice — 60p
JOBS: Rosa and Ben — shopping. Tom, Amy and Lily — baking at home on Friday. Max and Leo — making the posters. Zoe and Rory — the money table. Everybody — serving and cleaning (one hour each).
IDEAS FROM THE CLASS: Zoe wants a “Guess the Weight of the Cake” game — 50p a try, and the winner takes the cake home. Max wants music. Leo says he can play the guitar for an hour. Amy wants to put allergy information on the menu, because some visitors can’t eat nuts or milk. Ms Green says the plan is great, but we need more vegetarian food and a second drink without sugar. She also reminds everybody to wash their hands before they serve food, and to wear an apron.
