CHCECE007 - Unsettled meal times

I don't know if im on the right track or not, I get a hunch feeling that im not, can someone point me in the right direction? and give a few pointers?

1. It has been discovered that a group of 4 year olds have been distracted during meal time. This issue is to be discussed at a programme planning meeting, and the group educators plan to discuss why the meal time is so noisy, and what changes could be made to this routine.
a) Explain why you think this meal time is not relaxed and unhurried time of day. List five possible reasons.

1. The transition between play time and meal time didn’t go to well and the children did not calm down enough to have a calm and relaxed meal time

You could also include something like:

- Children aren't given enough time to prepare for lunch
- Children are too "active" before lunch
- Children are hurried to complete their lunch
- Educators do not engage the children in conversation during meal times
- Educators need to sit and eat and engage with children during meal times

Is this in regards to a scenario or just a question?

Thankyou :)

it's part of a scenario for Relationships and Play, one of the major clusters for the course.

Just checking that the ideas I added seem relevant...
