Medieval Times topic at school, hmmmm
My daughters topic is medieval times, its good to see that they are learning about the worlds old stuff in class!
But i need some help verifying something (Bordy, ABC, Grayling Bix???
) We were sent a note home saying that we had (as part of the topic) to send the kids in today with a litter free lunch. So, after much deliberation with my daughter it was made clear that all of the stuff had to be in a Tupperware container.........
Please forgive my denseness, but i wasn't around much then, but surely the food wouldn't have been in plastic
I made up the lunch and on the top of the plastic box i stuck a label saying "Ye Olde Plastic Box Co" (to which my daughter snorted with laughter at AND left it on the box!!)

- we did a muslin wrapper round sandwiches and no plastic wrapped food and a "billy can" for drink (actually we did not make Bri use a billy can but had a metal thermos!).

That doesn't sound very medieval to me!
Sounds more like soup of the future.
Maybe you can send her in tomorrow with a, "full phaser spread of apples"?!
