Dd is 10 and in year 6 so although funny shaped food is still good at home she probably wouldnt want to show her classmates
Will have a look at bento boxes too, seem to remember looking at some a few years ago and some were a work of art!

Doesnt need to be funny shaped, square or triangles, but just cut smaller so they dont look a lot.
Another one my son loved for a while was bagels with ham and cheese, i would warm the bagel up whilst eating breakfast add the cheese and ham, cheese would then melt a bit, cut it in half to fit the box.
(he goes to an after schol club, or my mum picks him up, but by 3 o'clock he is hungry, and he knows he can eat whatever he has left in his lunch box.
I remember when i was at school that the 1st break i would be starving so eat my play peice and then when lunch came, about an hour and a half later, i wasnt that hungry, so it may have something to do with that. I tell my son that if he is hungry in the afternoon to eat from his lunch box, but no other kid does so he doenst want to be the only one.

Another one - veg sticks and dip.
someone has already mentioned them - cocktail sausages, sausage rolls etc... put in a satchet of tomato sauce (cupcake case makes a great place to squirt it all to use for dipping in.)

Try doing some obento. It's a japanese type of lunch box that is filled with cute characters. For sure your child will have fun eating it. And will be surprised to look at her lunch box. Try searching obento at google.
