Material for writing on a blackboard (5)

I believe the answer is:

chalk

(Other definitions for chalk that I've seen before include "Opposite of cheese?" , "Blackboard writing implement" , "Calcium carbonate" , "Soft white rock used for writing on boards etc" , "Soft white limestone (as distinct from cheese)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
