School meals

In the morning, we have a break from 10,30 to 11,00. We eat a snack brought from our home: a cake, a sandwich, a bar of chocolate, a fruit, crackers, yoghurt. We bring also something to drink: water, cold tea, fruit juice.

One week each month we receive fruit from the school and another week we receive biscuits with honey or jam.

After eating our snack, we rest a little, we can play inside the school: we play with board games, make puzzle, draw…

At 12,30, on Tuesday and Thursday we go home. At the same time, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have lunch at school. We go in the school canteen and we serve by ourselves: we take the tray and put the serviette, the glass, the cutlery, bread and fruit on it.

The cooks put the food in the dishes and our teachers help us to take them. We eat together, seat at big tables, divided in classes. Our cooks are very able and the food is really tasty! Sometimes, instead of fruit, we have cake or ice cream!

After lunch, for about half an hour, we usually go to play outside: we run, jump, play to “nascondino” (we hide ourselves and one child have to find us), we pretend to be mummies or teachers…
