On the Line - daily life flag of the United Kingdom

"I take a packed lunch to school and have healthy things like sandwiches, fruit and maybe a bag of crisps. Sometimes my friends and I swap our food. In my last school we weren’t allowed to share our lunch, but we used to swap things under our desks.

"I like my mum and dad - they’re cool. My mum is very hard-working and is often tired, and so is my dad. When my dad comes home from work he makes us our supper. Me and my sister Meg get on quite well and we go shopping together sometimes. She’s three years older than me and she’s in another school, in year nine. My favourite food is chips, which I always eat when I go shopping. I also like pizza which we have nearly every night. I like Indian and Chinese food, but I don’t like rice. I have to wash my own dishes when I have eaten, and sometimes I help my mum do the gardening. I also have to tidy my bedroom."
