Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all well & were able to give your assigned work from last week your best effort! Well done on the work you

completed! Below you will find your assigned work for this week. We hope you are all enjoying your project work on

The Stone Age. Please continue with this project this week. We’re really looking forward to seeing the pictures of it. We

were blown away with some of the work that went into your China projects, some of the things that you learned were

things that we didn’t even know, don’t tell Mr. Comiskey that though! Next week we will have another Typeform for you

to fill in about your Stone Age projects, no matter how much or little you got finished. Some of the learning from your

China project can be used to improve this project.

We hope you are getting up early, having a good healthy breakfast and doing some exercise each morning. Don’t forget

there are plenty of online activities you can do such as The Body Coach workouts or a GoNoodle activity. Remember to

get some fresh air if you can by having a walk, run, playing a small activity in your garden.

If work becomes too difficult, take a break. Choose an activity that you enjoy such as mindfulness from websites such as

www.mysmilingmind.au or by simply listening to your favourite music.

All the best,

Ms. Gibson, Ms. Kearney, Mr. Gleeson & Ms. Mitchell
