• From Tuesday February 16th all classrooms will have a dedicated page on our website (www.pendersgroveps.vic.edu.au) where further classroom tasks will be provide if required.

• Writing a daily journal
• Painting and drawing (or creating a sculpture)
• Complete a ‘reduce/reuse/recycle’ investigation of items in your home
