I have found that the two hours per week timetabled by the Department on the curriculum is not available to some children in school.

As regards team sport, in which all schools like to participate, is it healthy for children to have to take part in team sports during their lunch hour whereby they have to cram in their food and flip between one session of school and going back in for the next?
