Hello Owl Class,

Well done on a fantastic second week and, welcome to week 3. I know lots of you are feeling tired and finding it a little harder to find that motivation to complete your work, but you are all amazing and, you can keep going. I am so proud of you all so, keep shining bright and doing your absolute best! I have loved getting in touch with so many of you last week in lots of different ways (Teams, Storytime, phone calls, or emails). It would be lovely to hear from everyone so, if you are accessing the remote learning, please get in touch and send me some pictures of your fabulous work. I would love to see how you are getting on and support you in any way I can.
