Once the children are all sitting at the table and are eating the fruit,
come into the Hall and take the toast around with your child.
Take the second piece round as soon as a few have finished the first (we
are trying to shorten snack time – children can always take another piece
and put in front of them if they haven’t finished)
Clearing away Once the children have got down from the tables:
 clear the tables
 clean the tables and wipe over with the anti-bac spray
 wash up the snack things, dry and put away in the cupboards
 tidy up the kitchen
 Clean any paint/craft pots etc (in the ‘dirty sink’)
 empty the bin (but do not put outside until the session ends)
 sweep the kitchen and foyer floors
Please do not open any of the fire doors during the session
(except during an emergency evacuation)
