Clever Kids' Cool Calcium Cafe

1B has been working so hard learning about bones this week, that Mrs Bennett decided to treat them with a visit to the Clever Kids' Cool Calcium Cafe. Children wrote all of the information they know about bones while Mrs Bennett, Mrs Spalding and Fiona delivered milkshakes, yoghurt and cheese on toast. This triple helping of calcium was followed at recess with some Vitamin D filled sunshine, and after recess with PE (did you know that exercise is great for your bones?). What a great day for our happy, healthy bones!

Here are some photos of the fun, and also the children's writing.

Calcium is in milk, eggs and yoghurt and it’s good for your bones. Vitamin D is good for your bones. Sunshine is also good for your bones. Babies have more bones than us. Babies have more than 270 bones, we have 206. A patella is a bone, and ribcages are bones too.  Your hand has 26 bones, your foot has 27 bones, your neck has 7 bones.

Bones are very strong, even stronger than the same amount of steel, because of calcium. Bones have two types of names - scientific names like cranium, scapula and phalanges, and just normal names like skull, shoulder blades and finger bones.
