Yuumm winter apples!!! apple

The original super food! The apple contain essential nutrients such as Vitamin C & B-complex, dietary fibre, calcium and potassium.

It’s true “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Some of the things that an apple does.

1. Controls insulin levels by releasing sugar slowly into the blood stream

2. Cleanses & detoxifies

3. Helps eliminate heavy metals such as lead & mercury

4. Reduces cholesterol levels

5. Helps prevent the formation of kidney stones

Most of the fibre & antioxidants are in the skin therefore you should eat organic apples which are wax free and have not been heavily sprayed with pesticides.

Have you had your apple today?

 

Grade 5’s sharing garden experiences with Grade 1’s

IMG_0464Here at Bialik, informal ways of engaging students from younger year levels is vital for both groups. For the older kids it deepens their understanding about the garden as they instruct the younger kids to get involved, answer questions and see things in new ways. For the younger kids it is an opportunity to learn from older more experienced students and new relationships based on admiration and respect are built upon. Well done Grade 5 for sharing your garden.
