As your child starts school there are lots of decisions you will have to make.  One of the most important is what they will do at lunch time.  There are four options and these are explained here.

So why should you opt for the school meal?  Here are some of the main
reasons:

• It will help your child to learn about using cutlery properly and safely.
  
  
• Your child will learn how to talk to others while having a meal and make new friends.  This will help your child grow in confidence.
  
  
• It can be difficult to get children to try new foods.  At school we let them try small portions of food to see if they like it and if so they can have more.
  
  
• Teaching and supervisory staff are on hand to encourage children to eat up their lunch.
  
  
• Catering staff quickly learn what children like and will adapt the menu when necessary.  They ensure no child goes hungry.
  
  
• It is the best way of ensuring children are attentive and in the best frame of mind to learn in afternoon lessons.
