We need you!

We are looking for volunteers with creative jobs or hobbies to support our Arts Week in July. If you are an artist, dancer, photographer, designer, author, actor, or know someone who is, and would like to support our week dedicated to all things creative, please get in touch!

Research shows that when children eat well at lunchtime they perform better in class in the afternoon. Therefore it is recommended that all lunch boxes include...

• At least one portion of fruit (e.g. banana, apple, orange, grapes, dried fruit, cherry tomatoes) should be included each day.

• At least one portion of vegetables e.g. carrot sticks, cucumber, celery. These ingredients could be added to a sandwich or sweetcorn added to pasta.

• Meat, fish or other source of non-dairy protein (e.g. chicken, turkey, ham, beef, pork, tuna, lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas, hummus and falafel) should be included every day. (Oily fish such as salmon or tuna at least once every three weeks).

• A starchy food such as any type of bread, pasta, rice, couscous, noodles, potatoes or other type of cereals every day (e.g. pitta bread, tortilla wraps, rice cakes, oat cakes) should be included each day.

• Dairy food such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, fromage frais or custard should be included every day.

• Drinks should be only water or milk.

• An example of a recommended lunch box could be a chicken salad wrap, an apple, yoghurt, a low sugar flap jack and a drink of water

Special Dietary Needs And Food Allergies

We are sensitive to the catering needs of children with specific dietary needs, including religious considerations. We have children at Brookfield Primary who have allergic reactions to nuts; they require Epipens.

Packed lunches must NOT include products that contain nuts (i.e. NO Nutella and NO peanut butter).

WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL

School meals cater for children with special dietary needs and food allergies. Children can choose daily if they wish to have a school meal.

So Please keep lunch boxes free from...

Fizzy drinks or cartons of juice,

Chocolate or sweets,

Chocolate spread or jam sandwiches,

Nuts

Our friends at Parallel are offering free maths circles starting on Sunday and Monday. Year 5 and Year 6 children are invited to attend these free Maths enrichment sessions to improve their mathematical skills. This is a charitable maths project founded and run by bestselling science author and maths educator, Simon Singh, who spoke at Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy this term, when our students competed in the Count On Us heats. For more information click on this link and sign up for your child. This is an amazing opportunity if you are interested in helping your child at home.
