DD1 is in reception and I've just had an email about a Christmas party next week during the school day. They've requested we send in "a small plate of food with your child's name on it".

Do they mean send in a bit of party food/a couple of snacks? Do I need an actual plate? How does the food stay on the plate while being transported into school? Am I being a bit thick here?

It's not easy to speak to the teachers. Parents aren't allowed through the gate in the morning at drop off, and I don't really see them at the end of the day either.

They encourage you to book an appointment if you want to speak to them about anything but it's not a system that lends itself to quick questions.

Oh bother, went to move a pop up.on phone screen and...

Plate of food is just for your child.

If its to share you would have an allocated item like sausage rolls, biscuits, crisps etc.

You can send in a plastic plate that they bring home!!
