School dinners in the UK Do you have lunch at school? ..............................................................

Do you like the food you eat at school? Why/Why not? ..............................................................

School dinners (lunch is also called ‘dinner’) are the hot meals that children eat at school.

It’s nice to sit and eat together with your friends.

There is a main course, a dessert and a drink.

Some children take a packed lunch to school.

In a packed lunch there is usually a sandwich, juice and a piece of fruit.

12

School dinners must be healthy.

The Eatwell Plate shows us that it is important to eat food from the five food groups.

Don’t eat too much food from the sugar group. It’s not good for you!

Fruit and vegetables Protein (meat, fish or cheese) Carbohydrates (rice or pasta)

Remember! Eating the right food helps you to concentrate and learn well. It also helps you to grow and be healthy.

Milk and dairy Sugars and fatty food (sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks) Create a healthy school menu.

You can use these words to help you.

At break time it’s important to eat a healthy snack.

You can eat a yogurt, fresh fruit, dried fruit or carrot sticks.

Don’t eat too many crisps, chocolate bars, cakes or biscuits.

Once a week is OK, but not every day!

Remember! Try to eat healthy food!
