To go the Head with this.

[SteadyEddie]

DS2 has SN and attends a mainstream primary. We are very happy with the school and DS is happy there. My concern is lunch time.

His diet is extremely limited and its worse when he isnt at home, so he eats just 2 things, rice cakes (those baby ones from Boots) and baby bels.

The problem is that DS cant unwrap the babybels, and neither can he ask for it be done. We have had problems with his three babybels coming back unwrapped on and off, so I have taken it up with the class teacher and the main LS and its been okay for a few days. For the last 2 days they have not been unwrapped and so he has come home upset and 'off' probably because he is starving.

If I email the Head, will she think I am wasting her time? I am at the end of my tether and DS's weight is an issue as it is.

I think the OP is getting lots of great suggestions here, which she can try, but I do think she needs to speak to the Senco too in order to get the 'food' problem recognized. Many dc with SN also suffer from 'food selectivity' although many SN educationalists don't realize this until they come across it themselves and even then don't always take it seriously.

Yup kinky ASC. Most of the time these little quirks make me smile especially DS's hatred of three quarter length sleeves they just don't make sense to him and I wear them he spends ages trying to pull them down to my wrists!

I would unwrap it and re-wrap with cling film around.

Oh - and also deal with SENCO! But in the interim I would wrap - re-wrap.

If I remember correctly Babybel wrappings come off in 2 halves. Can you take off one half, leave the other, then he can get the cheese out? Or put the 2 halves back once the seal is broken?

itis I spent most of her formative years trying to get her to take her vest off. She even kept it on under her bridesmaid dress! It was hellish when the time came for her to wear a bra.

You wouldn't be unreasonable to speak to the Head. We had one school where ds would sometimes eat no lunch because he couldn't cope with getting his lunchbox, queuing up, finding a seat, eating, and then taking his lunchbox back to the cloakroom. he was only in reception too. His current school couldn't be better and he does have an older child as a "buddy" who helps him.

oh the melt down when I tried to send ds to school without a vest as there was a heatwave. thankfully he was only in nursery so dd was taken to her school and ds was dropped at his school very late having been finally dressed in the car outside dd's school.

My daughter also has SEN and attends mainstream. Personally I would go to the Head. You have already raised this with the Class teacher and main support person and they are still not ensuring that it is done.
Sadly I have often found that highlighting one issue often raises others that I hadn't noticed until finding out more about what actually happens during the school day.
In our cases often issues are known about by all the staff involved in DDs care at school but no one has been given resoonsibility to ensure it is done so everyone assumes that someone else has done it.
Communication is the key both on your part and theirs.
