53. School: the lunchbox lineup.

A little letter arrived today 

Hi Catherine. 
Hey Emily. How's it going?
We're a little bit bored. 
Oh, school holidays hey, poor things. 

Maybe this'll cheer you up. 

Ooh a letter for us. 
Who's it from?

School?!



Thursday the 28th!
That's like 2 days away!
School!
Oh, that'll give us something to do. 

Yay!

I can start with the second task, make sure everyone has a playground hat. 


I think I know who to ask about a healthy lunchbox. 

Hi Bridget and Bryndl. 
Hello Emily. Are you as bored as we are?
Yes, well I was. We got a letter, schools back in on Thursday, and we're supposed to take a healthy lunchbox. 

Ooh food, we might have some ideas, let me check the fridge. 

Oh, how many lunch boxes?
I think there's 11 of us, that will go to the school round the corner. 

Maybe Emily we need a little magic to have enough for 11. 
Hoh Bridget. I think I know just the right person to ask. 

There are enough ingredients for a big batch of muffins. They can be healthy, I've been wanting to try that new recipe. 

Hi Mercedes. 
Hello. 
We got a letter from the school round the corner, we have to go back on Thursday. 
Ah, I hoped it would be soon. 
Are you going to be at Hogwarts? 
I'm not really supposed to go there yet, I'm not old enough I just pop in every now and then. I will take some lessons by correspondence though, they're letting me do that. 
We were wondering if you were able to magic us some healthy lunchbox food. 

I don't think I have a spell for that. Hogwarts has it's elves that do all it's cooking, so it's never been a lesson. Maybe it's a different kind of craft you need to make some healthy lunch. I know just the right girls. 

Hello Trinity and Tzeitel. 
Hi. 
Howdy. 
We were wondering if you both were crafty enough to make a healthy lunchbox. 

Ooh craft, I love craft. 
Me too. 
Not sure what a healthy lunchbox is though. 

Me either Trinity but I can see a lunchbox, that might be a start. 

Hey Catherine we want to make a healthy lunchbox but not sure what that is. 

Give me a sec I'll get some stuff to give you some ideas. 

Ooooh

Lettuce and cucumbers

Mushrooms and tomatoes

Vegetarian Deli slices and cheese

Carrot and some tasty crunchy snack

Lunch boxes and a plate

How about some bread?

Here's what Trinity and I came up with

Lettuce (green craft foam)

Chips. 
Chips?
Mmm chips. Mushrooms come out of the dirt, chips come out of potatoes they come out of the dirt too. 
Um, ok, they're a sometimes food. 
Yay, chips chips chips. (Yellow craft foam, NB the printable Iabel and idea was from the blog American Girl Ideas)

Red apples (I think they were an Xmas decoration at some point) and tomato slices (red craft foam)

Deli slices (pink craft foam) sliced cheese (yellow craft foam)

Grated carrot (orange craft foam) and tasty Bhuja mix (red beads and bits of craft foam in lots of colours). 

Lunch boxes

What about the bread?

And put in a lunchbox 
(Hey Trinity, add the chips to your sandwich just before you eat it that way they won't go soggy). 
(Okay)


An apple
Um, I don't think it'll fit. 
What about just one packet of chips. 

Some yummy snack for recess


All boxed up

Yay all done. 

So how long do you think that took girls?
A couple of hours I reckon. 
Yeah
Yeah
Hmm, we might have to do it the night before so we aren't late in the mornings. 
Do you mean we have to do this again?
Every night before a school day. 
What!!

What's this Emily?
Ah, oh the letter from the school said canteen will be open on Fridays. This must be the menu and price list. 

Ooh, pie, pie day Friday. 
Mmmmmm
Pie pie pie pie pie pie pie
