Lunch Boxes
We are noticing an increased amount of gladwrap and food packets being left around school after eating time. We are a zero waste school so all wrappings must go into the children’s lunchboxes and be taken home for disposal. You could help your child by minimising the number of wrappers put into their lunchboxes. Boxes with compartments work well and mean that wrappers aren’t needed at all.
