Dinner Lady interview

We interviewed a dinner lady and asked her about how school meals had changed and in what ways they were/weren't healthy for children.

We filmed the interview in the dinner hall were the children eat their lunch with the other dinner ladies preparing the food in the background.

We also took the opportunity to film cut-aways to use in between the questions. We used shots of the children buying lunch and some of them eating.

1. School dinners have had alot of criticism over the years, why do you think this is?

2. How have school dinners changed over the years?

3. Tell me about the guidelines you have to follow when preparing school dinners.

4. What do you consider to be the perfect lunch and why?

5. What do students prefer to buy, hot meals or sandwiches and why do you thnk they are popular?

6. Do you think sandwiches are healthy? Explain.

7. What do you think are more healthy, school meals or packed lunches and why?

8. What do you do to attract students to healthier options?

9. What is your favourite sandwich?

This was successful on the whole and we are able to use the majority of the answers.
