Welcome to Emerald Class
Hello, my name is Miss Baker and I am the class teacher for Emerald class.
Emerald class is a Year 1/2 class. We work very closely with Garnet (Y2) and Diamond (Y1) classes.
Other adults that work in our classroom include:
Mrs Munro, Mrs Waggott, Mrs Cording and Mrs Powell.
What we're up to this term.....
Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, our classroom may look a little bit different. Here are some pictures of Emerald class.
Spring 2021
Our topic this term is 'I will survive'.
This is a Science and Geography topic where we will be learning all about island life and animals and their habitats. In Spring 2 we are looking at plants and how our homes have changed over time. We kick started our topic by dressing up as animals for our Sparkling Start! What animals can you spot?
