Hot Dinners or<br />
Packed Lunches?<br />
A big part of the school day <strong>for</strong> many children is lunchtime! Morning<br />
lessons are complete and it is time <strong>for</strong> a well-deserved break. You can<br />
stretch your legs, run around outside, play games and chat with friends.<br />
Most importantly, lunchtime is a chance to eat!<br />
Cooked school meals can provide a hot lunch. The meals are usually<br />
nutritious and healthy. It can be convenient and much easier to purchase<br />
a school meal than having to remember to make and bring a packed lunch.<br />
A school meal will also be freshly prepared, whereas packed lunches often<br />
have to be made hours be<strong>for</strong>e you eat them, which can cause them to be<br />
soggy or otherwise unappealing.<br />
However, packed lunches can be more flexible and ensure a wider choice.<br />
You can bring your favourite things <strong>for</strong> lunch. A packed lunch is individual<br />
to you and can be tailored to your preferences. It is easy to cater <strong>for</strong> any<br />
allergies or dietary requirements; <strong>for</strong> example, vegan or vegetarian. Packed<br />
lunches could include sandwiches, salads, wraps, vegetables and dip or<br />
anything really—you can be quite creative.<br />
Would you prefer to have hot school meals or take a packed lunch? Which<br />
is best?<br />
