Crunch & Sip, Morning Tea and Lunch
Just a reminder that each child has 3 breaks for food in the preschool each day – Crunch & Sip, Morning Tea and Lunch. Can we please ask that these containers are clearly labelled with the child’s name and are placed in the appropriate location. Often staff are spending a great deal of time sorting through lunch boxes to find morning tea for the children. Please ensure each of the items is placed in the correct location at the beginning of the day.
Crunch & Sip: ‘Crunch & Sip’ is a break during class time when the children can refuel on a fruit or vegetable snack only (that is packed in addition to Morning Tea and Lunch) and rehydrate with water. The ‘Crunch & Sip’ break gives children the opportunity to eat the piece of fruit that might otherwise be left in their lunchbox. Children are also more likely to eat their fruit or vegetables and drink their water if their friends and peers are all doing it too! We ask that you provide this snack in a separately labeled container or zip-lock bag and place it in the basket on the sink in the classroom storeroom. Drink bottles will also be kept in here and the children will be able to refill their bottles at the sink as they need.
Morning Tea and Lunch are stored in separate containers in the fridge. Each class has a fridge door to open. Morning Tea containers are kept in the class basket in the fridge and Lunch boxes and stored on the shelf.
Please remember that we are an Allergy Friendly Centre (ie. allergy aware) and have a number of children with serious allergies. Therefore, we ask that any food your child brings to Preschool does not contain nuts or traces of nuts or shellfish. We have a number of resources containing nutritious and well-balanced lunch box ideas available in our parent library in the foyer for inspiration.
