Tuckshop
For something a little bit different - instead of having your tuck shop lunch at school, you can help mum or dad make your own tuckshop lunch at home.
Here are a few easy recipes that you can make. Remember to clean up the kitchen after you have made your lunch!!
If you have any Morning Tea/Lunch/Afternoon Tea recipe ideas that you would like to share with your school friends, send them into office.sjv@cg.catholic.edu.au. Take a photo and we will add them to next week's newsletter.
This week the recipes are easy.. no bake lunch and break time snacks that you can try.
