Should St James' children wear sunhats during the summer terms?

L.I: WALA writing to persuade. We are learning to justify our opinion by providing supporting evidence.

Sunhats protect people from the harsh rays of the sun which protects their skin.

What would I expect to find in my lunchbox? -

Room 4 were inquirying about healthy food options for school lunch boxes. We agreed a balanced selection of foods would be perfect. Foods from the food pyramid categories - 'eat lots', and 'eat some'. There was discussion about whether, 'eat little' would be a perfectly good option for our lunchboxes because the amounts eaten would be small. However, others thoughts considered this category to be only treat foods which shouldn't be had during the day but as a treat for the whole family now and again. 'Protein, carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables' were the categories we selected food from for our school lunch boxes.

Some of the ideas for our school lunchboxes were as follows: cold meats, fruit - (strawberries, pineapple, apples, and oranges), raw vegetables, dried fruits, cheese, yogurt, nuts, mueslie bars (without chocolate coating the bar), sandwich (with different fillings - chicken, ham, peanut butter and marmite, and vegetables).
