Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi, just wondered if anyone has any exciting ideas, of any school trips, for early years based on the topic of food? Please do not say a supermarket! I want to find alternatives. it is for the North west. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 We visited a local Chinese restaturant and it was fab! And if it's next term, you could tie it in with Chinese New Year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_6021 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Some of our past and current parents have allotments which we visit and 'help' with while we're there. We come back and have enthusiastic planting sessions for a few days, the children take some home and we keep some at work for children to care for and observe.

Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 WE are very lucky to be next to some allotments. It amazes the children that fruit and veg come from the ground and not Tescos! We have some friendly people on the allotment who talk to the children and its great to visit in each season- and at no cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13789 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Pizza express let you take small groups of children to their restaurants. They make pizza with the chidlrne and then you can stay and eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
