LACA reveals calendar of events for new school year
LACA has revealed three themed food events for schools to put in their diary ahead of the new school year.
Plans for new school year include 'Back to school', which encourages children to get back to eating hot meals at lunchtime when they return to school in September. LACA believes it is important to get as many starters as possible on school meals so they remain loyal to the service throughout their school life.
National Curry Week is 7-12 October so LACA is launching resources that schools can run alongside or choose their own dates. A poll during National School Meals Week in 2018 found curry was voted as the most popular meal. Schools can encourage children to try new flavours and also introduce some vegetarian options.
An activity sheet for Bonfire Night can be downloaded and printed with the firework code to keep children safe on Bonfire Night.
National School Meals Week 2021 will take place 8-12 November with more details about the week being announced soon.
