This week in Smarties we are learning about our sense of taste.
On Wednesday we'll be making rainbow fruit kebabs, playing with puzzles, riding bikes and painting.
On Thursday we'll be playing in the bush and building with sticks and ropes. We'll also make toasted cheese sandwiches over the campfire!
On Friday we'll play with the parachute, sing and dance, share a story and do a science experiment making ice-cream!
We hope to see you there,

Here are some of their findings –
When? - Thursday 11th April from 5:30-7:30pm.
Where? - In the School Hall.
Who? - Everyone is invited! Siblings, friends and family are welcome to come and dance too! So everyone can be included, children under 5 are welcome but will require parental/guardian supervision.
How much? - $5 entry covers everything - including a sausage sizzle, snacks and cordial/water. There'll be a lucky door prize too!
Tea, coffee, Milo, Devonshire Tea and extra sausages will be available for purchase for adults and kids.
Make sure you're dressed for fun! Costumes, party clothes or whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Come and join the fun!
All funds raised go to the Parents & Friends to be used to purchase equipment for the school and to top up class budgets for things like excursions and special activities.

On Thursday 28th March, Glen Huon Primary School held a Ride2School event which aimed at increasing the amount of students that actively travelled to school. The day was an amazing success with a huge amount of bikes, scooters, skateboards and walkers all meeting at Glen Huon Cricket oval. Amazingly we had 74 students attend the Ride2School event and all rode and walked down as one big group. A massive thankyou to all the parents who went above and beyond by transporting bikes from far and wide, and some even joining us on our trip down so that their children could ride to school with their peers. We also had a great day in PE with Shane from Bicycle Network teaching all of our classes about bike safety and bike education.

Dabbawalas: A complicated system that picks up and delivers lunches from restaurants or homes to people at work. Between 175,000 and 2000,000 lunch boxes are moved each day by 4,500 to 5,000 dabbawals in Mumbai.
The Lunchbox: rated PG Admission $5
