PRIMARY pupils got a real taste of Italy after visiting a restaurant as part of a class project exploring senses.

The Year one children at Wargrave Primary School got the chance to visit Ariete Italian Bar and Restaurant in Newton- le-Willows, to explore the taste and smell of the delicious food.

Restaurant manager, Eduardo Carcamo arranged for the pupils to design and make their own pizzas from scratch, with a range of toppings including cheese, tomato and pepperoni.

Their teacher Amanda Epstein, said: “We have been running this project for a number of years now which is a fun and creative way for the children to learn about senses, and each visit is as good as the last.

“I’d like to thank Eduardo and the team for welcoming us down once again; we’re already looking forward to our next visit.”
