how about giving her the stuff she would normally have for lunch at the weekend and time her - you will then know how long it takes her. it could then be an option to only give her sandwiches & juice and give her the rest at hometime when you pick her up. as she gets older she will probably speed up and you can start introducing stuff into her lunchbox. the trouble is if her school expect her to finish everything before they let her out to play she will feel pressured and resent the fact her friends are out playing.
