|About the Website |
| |
|The My School Lunch Website is a new and exciting website for teachers, adults and children. It raises awareness of school |
|lunches and the important part they play in educating children about food, balanced diets and exercise. The unique feature of |
|the site is the funfair of educational games that link to Key Stages One and Two of the National Curriculum. |
| |
|The children have a ‘For Kids’ section, which introduces them to a cartoon style character. This character helps to make |
|healthy eating fun and enjoyable. The character has regular competitions and also provides the opportunity to learn about email|
|using the ‘Tell’ section. |
| |
|Included in the ‘For Fun’ section you will find the educational games in the funfair. There are different skill levels so that |
|children enjoy themselves whatever their age. These teachers’ notes have been prepared by teachers for teachers. They provide |
|a wide range of ideas and worksheets that will save you time and enable you to link the games in the funfair to the National |
|Curriculum with ease. |
| |
|The parents’ section includes information about the catering service, the nutritional content, how the meals are prepared, |
|sample menus, job vacancies and the benefits of having a school lunch. |
| |
|A number of authorities have joined together to share the costs of the website and they each have their own character. |
|Therefore each site is personalised. In these notes the word ‘character’ will refer to the character used in your authority. |
|To find out about your character please visit the website for your area. Some parts of the site are password protected to |
|comply with the Direct Marketing Association guidelines regarding the collection of personal data. By giving out the password |
|you are agreeing that the site is suitable for your pupils. If you have any difficulty obtaining the password please complete |
|the registration process on the website. You might want to encourage your pupils to register individually. |
