Morgans Hotel in Swansea was an exciting and enriching experience for our Year 5 and 6 pupils. The children were warmly welcomed and immersed in a day full of learning, creativity, and hands-on activities that brought the world of hospitality to life.
π°οΈ History & Exploration
The day began with a fascinating introduction to the history of Morgans Hotel, where the children learned about its origins and unique features.
π¨π³ Culinary Creations
One of the highlights was working alongside the hotel’s chef to make delicious chocolate brownies. The children followed the recipe, mixed ingredients, and proudly took their sweet creations home to share with their families.
πΉ Mocktails & Smoothies
In the hotel restaurant, the children became junior mixologists, creating their own smoothies and mocktails using fresh ingredients. This activity was both educational and tasty, sparking creativity and teamwork.
π¨ Design & Innovation
The children also took part in a design challenge to create a new lanyard for the hotel staff. Their imaginative ideas and colourful designs impressed everyone and gave them a chance to express their artistic talents.
π¨ Behind the Scenes in Hospitality
Throughout the day, the children learned about the various roles within the hotel, from housekeeping to management. They even had the chance to become receptionists, checking in a guest and learning how the front desk operates.
ποΈ Room Discovery
To round off the experience, the children explored one of the hotel’s guest rooms, observing its layout and amenities, and imagining what it would be like to stay there.
The trip was a wonderful blend of education and fun, giving our pupils a deeper understanding of the hospitality industry and inspiring them through real-world experiences. A huge thank you to the team at Morgans Hotel for making the day so memorable!
