McQueen’s Restaurant Layout

Monday (12/09/2011)

a) Chlorophyll
Rei: Last week, you asked us why wheatgrass is green? My dad said because it contains chlorophyll.
 I explained the meaning of chlorophyll. It is the green pigment in plants and enables plants to absorb sunlight to make their food and gets energy. Thus, when they are harvested, we get the energy from the wheatgrass juice. I showed them the organic seeds given by Teacher Huang and they took a handful to smell. Some said they smelt nice and some otherwise. We would watched a video clip on it and learn to plant our very own wheatgrass.

b) The Restaurant Layout Plan.
 The kids got so excited. We brainstormed the various areas we can find in a restaurant. These are a few discussed. Shawn suggested 2 storeys. Thus, a kitchen with 2 Dining Halls. A long counter which also enables take-away. A storeroom. A stage with televisions. A few doors including Emergency Exits. A lift especially for elderlies and handicappers. Kids reminded me of handicappers’ washrooms. A class to teach cooking and gardening. An outdoor garden and also a parking space. The car wheels potray the decorations such as dishes of the day.

c) The Play.
* The kids were divided into a few groups. Some set up the dining tables, some decorated the cashier areas, some prepared the menu, some made the flowers, some cooked at the kitchen and etc.
