World Kitchen: Kitchen play area

Kitchen play area

Plato Academy- Athena's students, have started creating the "kitchen" play area! After talking about traditional Greek plates, we posted two poster boards with the pictures of our favorite plates and their names! Every child is bringing in some empty boxes for the "kitchen pantry", and we are going to use Athersley South Primary School's recipe to make our very own fruit!

Dramatic play with chef's hats and aprons is following!
