Neptune class

We hope that you all had a Merry Christmas, and we wish all our Families a Happy, Healthy New Year! It has been a very chilly start to 2024, but the children have returned with smiles and positive attitudes ready for the challenges and experiences that our new topic will bring.

As we move into the term the Neptune class team remain the same – Mrs Green is the class teacher on Mondays and Tuesdays and Mrs Burnett will be teaching Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Mrs Foley and Mrs Jowett are our TAs supporting in Neptune class.

Our topic this term is called ‘Mountains and Rivers’ During this unit children will learn all about different rivers and mountains in the world, about the people who rely on them and about how they are formed. We are using our knowledge to help answer our Key Concept Question: How do rivers and mountains impact on their surrounding environment? We will be reading Grahame Baker-Smith’s illustrated picture book: Rhythm of the Rain. Please take a look at the medium-term plan for more details on what else we will be covering.

PE is every Wednesday with Coach Harry and Hockey is on Friday with Ms Massie. Please make sure your child brings appropriate clothing for both lessons as we will get outside when suitable.

Homework has been given out along with spellings which can be found on Seesaw. Please ensure you read with your child every day and log the reading in the reading record book.

Weekly homework includes: practice spellings, complete at least one Mathletics task each week; complete one piece of homework from the homework sheet and practice times tables on TTrockstars as much as possible. Spelling test will be on Monday and the dates have been written on the sheet.

Logins for your child’s accounts can be found in the back of the reading record book but please do let us know if you have any issues logging on. Any homework completed can be uploaded to Seesaw as can anything for Show and Tell which will be on a Friday.

Coco, Cookie and Hazel have been to lots of your homes now and have become really quite sociable. Thank you to everyone who has helped look after them.

Kind wishes,

Mrs Burnett, Mrs Green, Mrs Jowett and Miss Foley
