The Dairy Australia initiative aims to teach children about maintaining healthy bones through proper exercise and diet in a fun, informative and interactive environment.
“Sixty per cent of Australian children aged two to 16 years fail to meet the recommendations of the Australian Dietary Guidelines for the dairy food group,” Dairy Australia dietician Emma Glassenbury said.
Grade one and two pupils were involved with the week through learning sessions and playing healthy bones hopscotch – a variant of the classic children’s game played with an outline of a human skeleton.
