Good Morning Oberon Class - How are you feeling today?

We had 11 children in school yesterday and a further 9 children signed in on the daily register - well done to all of you for engaging with your learning.  A virtual star goes to Isabelle, who managed to compete all her home learning on Wednesday, keep up the good work!

If you are learning at home it is really important that you keep up with the tasks being set as we will be introducing new learning and building on previous skills each day - so please remember to sign every morning using the daily register. 

You may have noticed the register has a new column so you can tell us how you are feeling.  Lots of you have said you are ok or happy, which is good to know, but there are lots of different abstract nouns you can use to describe how you are feeling.  Look at the colour monsters to help you choose different words for how you are feeling.

Remember you can send pictures or emails showing your home learning to our class email - oberon@studleygreen.wilts.sch.uk.  I am looking forward to seeing what you have been doing!
