MATTISHALL PRIMARY Autumn Winter Menu 23-24 

Hot School Lunches

School meals are cooked on site in the school kitchen, catered for by Edwards and Blake. Menus are available to parents on request and copies are available on the school website. Please send money in a named purse or envelope (£2.40 per meal, per day). Payment can be made on a daily or weekly basis. We cannot extend credit beyond Fridays, as the catering staff must balance their accounts at the end of each week. As from September 2014 all children in our reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes will be entitled to a Free School Meal, under a new Government initiative.

Packed Lunches

Children may bring a packed lunch in a named lunch box with a boxed drink or plastic bottle. We do not allow glass bottles or cans on safety grounds. Please try to ensure that your child’s packed lunch contains a balanced meal. (Children who consume very high levels of sugar and/or chemicals may find it harder to concentrate on their work in the afternoons).

Drinks

Drinking water is available in school. Children will need to be provided with their own plastic water bottle for use in the classroom. (Research shows a close link between hydration levels in the bloodstream and consequently in the brain and the ability to concentrate, think and learn). 

Midday Supervisors

The midday supervisors make sure that play is appropriate and help children to resolve any difficulties they may have in playing amicably together. All children are encouraged to seek support from a midday supervisor when needed and to let them know when any other child needs looking after. Lunchtime incidents are recorded in a class behaviour log.
