6th June 1945

School dinners were served from the school canteen for the first time today. 49 children stayed. The food is brought down fom the canteen (Mixed School garden) in containers. There is n o real accommodation for meal in this building [the Infants School, where Reception Class is now] and no proper staff. It was a wet day so there was no beak. Children have to sit at their lesson tables for their meal and if weather is bad, just continue sitting. Several were sick, having had no exercise exercise since drinking milk at 10.30. The staff (teaching) had no meal - there was no time as many of the Babies have to be fed. 1 Nursery Helper has been obtained ... Behavious & manners were very good - a short lecture on the subject having been given beforehand.
