This good because several people have allergies
I think it is a good idea to bring a healthy lunch to school instead of snacks , like crisps so unhealthy stuff because it will keep us fit and strong.😄😄😄😄
I think this is good because we don’t want anybody being unwell.
The list of things you should and shouldn’t have in your packed lunch is good because chocolate is unhealthy for you and you should have at least one fruit a day
this is good because if you are allergic to anything the school is fine to go to ✔️To be able to have a allergy it’s safe to come to school new or not ✔️2nd it will be definitely a healthy good lunch i love chocolate as the next kid but being healthy will increase and improve your health and energy 😁 To be lucky to have this food when other people don’t we are extremely lucky 🍀 so a good healthy food means a better chance a better day a better life 😀😃😄😁😆
