The different approaches are interesting. A’s school is also keeping the kitchens closed, so it’s packed lunches at their desks. But school has stipulated that all rubbish from lunches must be taken home and may not be left in school bins.Little My wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 7:29 pmInteresting. Complete with brown paper bag? We haven't heard anything direct from our school yet, but I suppose fabric lunch bags are probably not the best idea because you can't give them a good clean each day really.Glint wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 7:23 pm
At S's school, all food is to be eaten at their (freshly cleaned) desk in x minutes before they can go out to play. Lunches are to be wrapped in disposable wrap, so there is limited school to home transference. They will also have an additional afternoon break.
E’s school will be doing hot lunches but she will start taking packed lunches so she can avoid the busier canteen areas. Her school covers a wider demographic range than A’s school and has been providing lunches to quite a few students since lockdown started, so I’m pleased they’ve taken that decision.
