Learning New Skills at Alnwick Garden

This week, pupils had the opportunity to visit Alnwick Garden, where they visited different sites and learnt new skills at each one. When spending time in the Treehouse Cafe, they were taught by the assistant manager how they serve customers. They were taught how to greet, take orders and deliver them to the customer.

The pupils who volunteered then had the chance to use the coffee machine to make cups of coffee and tea. Scones were also served to each other, which they of course then tasted; they were delicious.

As well as the Treehouse, the pupils were placed in the entrance to the main gardens and stood handing out leaflets to visitors and politely greeting them. Some of the pupils took charge of a jam-tasting stand and guided visitors to taste the three different flavours and asked them what they thought of them, and how their day was going.

This was a great experience for the pupils, as they had the opportunity to develop their skills and confidence.
