Get into Crunch&Sip®
Crunch&Sip is a set time in primary schools for students to ‘refuel’ on vegetables, salad and fruit and ‘rehydrate’ with water. Students who are not hungry and are well hydrated perform better in the classroom, show increased concentration, and are less likely to be irritable and disruptive. Many students are not eating enough vegetables and fruit or keeping sufficiently hydrated.
Each school can choose a suitable time and way to implement Crunch&Sip® that fits with the school’s timetable. It may suit the school for all classes to have Crunch&Sip® at the same time, or for individual teachers to decide when it best suits their class schedule. Teachers may have Crunch&Sip® time while students continue on with their work, or stop work and hold a Crunch&Sip® specific activity inside or ouide of the classroom.
The 2nd Edition of the Crunch&Sip® School Resource Pack contains:• A revised Crunch&Sip® school implementation guide• Food and nutrition focused classroom activities that fit within the NSW
primary schools PDHPE curriculum and also meet other cross-curricula outcomes
• Short activity ideas based around healthy eating• Background nutrition information and helpful resources for teachers.

New ABS data shows less than one per cent of Aussie kids eat enough vegetables
Vegetables might be brimming with goodness, but less than one per cent of Aussie kids are eating the recommended amount each day.
While children eat, on average, more fruit than adults, they’re having just 1.8 serves of veg a day compared to the recommended 2.5–5.5 serves.And it doesn’t get much better as we get older, with less than two per cent of men and about four per cent of women meeting the guidelines of five-to-six serves a day.The findings were based on analysis by the Australian Bureau of Statistics of the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey.The ABS found that overall, most Aussies don’t eat the minimum recommended daily serves from the five major food groups — vegies, fruit, dairy products, lean meats, and grains.More than one third of our daily intake is now coming from so-called discretionary foods such as sweetened beverages, alcohol, cakes, confectionary and pastries — all of which are high in calories and poor in nutrients.ABS director of health Louise Gates said that among the five food groups, fruit and grains had the best compliance and less than four per cent of the population consumed enough vegetables and legumes or beans each day. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/diet/new-abs-data-shows-less-than-one-per-cent-of-aussie-kids-eat-enough-vegetables/news-story/www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/Lookup/by%20Subject/4364.0.55.007~2011-12~Main%20Features~Vegetable%20products%20and%20dishes~722
The Australian Dietary Guidelines (the Guidelines) provide up-to-date advice about the amount and kinds of foods that we need to eat for health and wellbeing. The recommendations are based on scientific evidence, developed after looking at good quality research.
A range of accessible Australian Dietary Guidelines classroom teaching and learning resources are available.

New ABS data shows less than one per cent of Aussie kids eat enough vegetables
Vegetables might be brimming with goodness, but less than one per cent of Aussie kids are eating the recommended amount each day. While children eat, on average, more fruit than adults, they’re having just 1.8 serves of veg a day compared to the recommended 2.5-‐5.5 serves. And it doesn’t get much better as we get older, with less than two per cent of men and about four per cent of women meeting the guidelines of five-‐to-‐six serves a day.
The findings were based on analysis by the Australian Bureau of Statistics of the 2011-‐12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. The ABS found that overall, most Aussies don’t eat the minimum recommended daily serves from the five major food groups — vegies, fruit, dairy products, lean meats, and grains. More than one third of our daily intake is now coming from so-‐called discretionary foods such as sweetened beverages, alcohol, cakes, confectionary and pastries — all of which are high in calories and poor in nutrients. ABS director of health Louise Gates said that among the five food groups, fruit and grains had the best compliance and less than four per cent of the population consumed enough vegetables and legumes or beans each day. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/diet/new-‐abs-‐data-‐shows-‐less-‐than-‐one-‐per-‐cent-‐of-‐aussie-‐kids-‐eat-‐enough-‐vegetables/news-‐story/ www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/Lookup/by%20Subject/4364.0.55.007~2011-‐12~Main%20Features~Vegetable%20products%20and%20dishes~722
