For all art lovers, young and old, today we have started a new series entitled Be Art Smart. This would not have been possible without the help of Carmen Sultana.

We at Crackers would like to thank Carmen for her patience and trust in our children’s magazine.

We are sure that you will find this article interesting and if you would like to send us any related comments please forward them on [email protected].

The Year 6 students of the Convent of the Sacred Heart sent us their contributions before the end of the scholastic year to be published in From your notice board section.

More of their articles will be published in the coming weeks.

Why is blood red when our veins are blue? Read more of these curious but fascinating facts in this issue.

Hope you will find this week’s Crackers interesting and entertaining.

See you next Thursday
