Fun Facts about Calcium
Calcium is an important nutrient that everybody needs to consume. It is important for kids to eat enough calcium so that they can build strong, healthy bones for the rest of their life. If you do not get enough calcium, bones will become fragile and will break easily. It is important for EVERYONE to have enough calcium.
Kids need to have this much calcium:
- 4-8 year olds: 700mg/day
- 9-11 year old: 1000mg/day
- 11-18 year olds: 1300mg/day
So how can I eat enough calcium?
To get enough calcium you can eat:
- 4 cups of milk
- 4 cups of soy milk
- 7 cups of broccoli
- 1.5 cups of canned salmon
- 487 almonds
- 13 cups of cooked spinach
Or you can just eat a mix of all these foods and more as a part of a healthy balanced diet
There are also some other things that you can do to keep your bones strong:
- Do a little bit of exercise every day
- Make sure you spend a little bit of time in the sun every day (although not too much because you will get sunburnt!)
- Don’t eat too much salt or salty foods

Schools Tree Day 2015 – Get Outside and Grow!
Schools Tree Day 2015 – Friday July 24th
Bialik will mark this special day by expanding our indigenous garden (IG).
This will be our first Tree Day event. Students enthusiastically investigated how the Aboriginals harvested and used these plants. Hence the students selected the plants based on their
-suitability for the IG location taking into account, weather, soil conditions, available space an water
-smell, texture, edibility, medicinal properties, suitability for tool making and weaving
