Neptune class - Brabourne Church of England Primary School

Mrs Burnett, Mrs Barnes and Mrs Riggs are Neptune’s teaching team, alongside Mr Dray for Music, Coach Harry and Ms Massey for PE.

Happy New Year Neptune class! We hope you all had a restful and enjoyable Christmas.

Our topic for term 3 and term 4 is Our Environment (Local Study).

This term we will be working towards understanding the key concept of energy and sustainability and answer the question: is Brabourne energy efficient? We will begin by studying our local environment and develop map reading and compass skills. We will look at land usage in our local area, what energy efficiency looks like and decide if Brabourne is energy efficient and how we can play our part.

For Science in term 3, we will be learning all about living things in their habitats where we will be exploring life processes of living organisms and how the environments that they live in affect their ability to survive and thrive.

Homework will be posted onto Seesaw. You will also find weekly spellings uploaded to Seesaw on a termly overview. A piece of homework should be completed each week and spellings will be tested on a Monday in class.

Please continue to read each night at home with your child; your support with this plays a huge part in your child’s progress. Any reading completed at home can be written in the planner and your child can receive a gold sticker for four consecutive reads.

Planners must come to and from school every day and are checked in school each morning. It is the best way to keep in contact with us so please do use them. Stuck into planners are the passwords/logins for: Seesaw, Mathletics and TT Rockstars. Please check the homework as to when any of these tasks should be completed.

PE is on a Wednesday with Coach Harry and on Friday with Ms Massie.
