WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKED LUNCH? Top TIPS!9 September 2021 (by admin) |
It's your PACKED LUNCH call parents! It's all about taking ownership of your child's packed lunch and educating your child on the BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY, BALANCED PACKED LUNCH- YUMMY!
Our school website gives various links and we regularly send out HEALTHY PACKED LUNCH TOP TIPS but it's your call (you can even add a small treat!).
We will still push the HEALTHY food agenda but if you want to add a small chocolate biscuit treat or even the occasional bag of crisps then that's fine. A small carton of fruit juice is acceptable also. Please talk to your child about it and explain why you're including certain food/drink products
WE DO ASK HOWEVER, FOR SAFEGUARDING PURPOSES, THAT NO NUTS OR NUT PRODUCTS ARE IN DAILY PACKED LUNCHES (certainly NO NUTELLA or even chocolate spread products). THIS IS VITAL and safeguards children in schoolwho have life threatening allergies.
CAN WE ALSO ASK THAT NO FIZZY DRINKS are included/sent in.
In summary, it's YOUR CALL because family circumstances are so very different and individual tastes are different. All we ask is PLEASE, NO NUT PRODUCTS AT ALL & no fizzy drinks!
It's good to know that WATER is still available in the PACKED LUNCH hall zone for a refreshing drink. Children will always have access to drinking water.
