The Aliens have Landed! Can YOU Help?
- they have nowhere to stay and don't know what to eat!
The aliens are looking for host classes in rural and urban areas to assist them with their quest to discover what food is grown and eaten in Victoria. By linking with classes in urban and rural areas the aliens will be able to discover (with the help of your students) aspects of food production from paddock to plate. Keen to be a host school?
Call Jenny Pettenon Ph: 9296 4609 for an information kit.
