BRING YOUR GRANDPARENTS TO LUNCH AT FRAMLINGHAM SIR ROBERT HITCHAM’S
TO BE HELD ON: MONDAY 2, TUESDAY 3 or WEDNESDAY 4 JUNE 2008


Due to the success of the Bring Your Parents to Lunch initiative last year, we would like to invite grandparents to come and experience a school lunch with their grandchild on Monday 2, Tuesday 3 or Wednesday 4 June. The costs of school lunches are £1.80 for a child and £2.70 for an adult.

Our cooks always strive to make all the food appetizing and at the same time to produce a healthy meal. To achieve this, they oven bake food whenever possible, make their own bread and rolls, and use fresh vegetables in season. Fresh salads are on the menu every day! They also use the humble potato, not instant mash, and there are at least two vegetable options on every day. Fried and pre-processed foods are kept to a minimum and chips are only on the menu once a week. I eat in the hall every day with children as do many of the staff and I can recommend the meals as appealing, balanced and healthy. I know that Mrs Chapman, our cook, makes great efforts to cook new and imaginative dishes but on occasions it is hard work to encourage some children to try new food!

On the reverse of this letter is a menu and we would ask that if you wish to take up this offer you fill in the reply slip and return it to the office with the money FOR THE ADULT MEALS ONLY. Please return your form to the office by Tuesday 20 May. Unfortunately we are unable to accept any late requests for lunch after this date. Children should bring in their money as usual on Monday 2 June for lunch arrangements for that week.

We feel the best way to accommodate the extra adults is to have all children with visitors to eat at 11.50am. We would ask grandparents to sign in outside the hall and wait in this area for their grandchild/ grandchildren to collect them and take them into lunch. Could we remind you that unfortunately you will not be able to park in the school car park due to lack of space.
We would ask that adults do not stay after you have eaten lunch. At this time the children will go to their playground for play and we ask that you leave but please do not forget to sign out. We would also welcome any feedback on the forms outside the hall. Bon appetit!
