From Clementines to Mandarin

Hiya,

Sorry I haven't written in ages. I'm such a spoon. Lots of stuff is going on at the mo. I am 17 working days off being a qualified teacher and loving my current placement. Our topic this half term is minibeasts, which means we can spend loads of time outside looking under rocks and pretending to be butterflies. It also means I get to have some giant African landsnails in my classroom. It is so so so exciting!

I am trying to teach the kids to do the register in Mandarin Chinese but I'm really stuck. I have got as far as teaching them 'hello' but I can't find an accurate translation for 'sandwiches please' or 'hot dinner please'. Can any one help? I really hope so.
