School meals

 

The first meal break in Slovenia starts differently for each class, namely: 1st–3rd class (6–8 years): 9.00 am, 4th–5th class (9–10 years): 9.45 am, 6th–9th class (11–14 years): 10.40 am. Pupils have 20 minutes to finish it.
When forming the menus, we consider nutritious and energetic value of the food.
General recommendations for the daily consumed food are: 50–60% carbon hydrate (but not sweets), 10–15% albumin and 30–35% of fat.
Following this, children have hot drinks, different patés, and sausages. But the best days are pizza or hot-dog days.
Our motto is eat everything, but in small amounts.

This year we have entered the project School Fruit Scheme which is funded by the European Union. Thus, we have fresh fruit available every day (apples, pears, oranges, pineapples, nashis, kakis, kiwis, bananas…)

Our students are gradually becoming accustomed to different kinds of bread, various kinds of dishes, which are not so popular, and the progress is already seen. The easiest is to start in the kindergarten because young children accustom very quickly to new kinds of food.

At 12,30, lunch is served in the school canteen. Each pupil takes a tray, a serviette, and the cutlery.

Our lunches are delicious. We always have a soup, beef or vegetables one. Favourite main courses consist of meat and side dishes like mashed potato or rice.  We do not like vegetables a lot but we eat them because they are healthy.

When forming the menu, we also include traditional Slovene food, typical of our district and the whole country.
