Garnet Class (Year 2)
Hello. My name is Miss Mawson and I am the class teacher for Garnet class.
Garnet class is a Year 2 class. We work very closely with Emerald (Y1/2) and Diamond (Y1) classes.
Other adults you may see in our classroom are: Mrs Credland, Mrs Stewart, Mrs Cording and Mrs Wynne.
Art
In art we have been learning all about colour. We have learnt about primary and secondary colours and have developed our mixing skills. We have explored a range of art work and have been inspired by key artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Piet Mondrian to create our own pieces.

Key Documents
English
We have been reading an adventure story called 'Grandad's Island' by Benji Davies. As part of this unit, we have designed our own islands full of exciting things! We have been working to learn the story and have created actions to help us. As part of this unit, we have been working hard to develop our use of description and have created our own setting and character descriptions.
Marvellous Mathematicians
We have been learning about place value. As part of this unit we are learning to recognise the place value of 2-digit numbers. We have partitioned numbers and have worked to compare and order numbers. We have also developed our understanding of a number line. Throughout our learning in maths, we have been working hard to develop our reasoning skills and our ability to solve a wide range of problems.
Curriculum
Computing
In computing we have been learning how to use laptops. We have worked to develop our ability to drag and drop. Over the course of the unit, we have been developing our skills on the website 'Sketchpad' to create a piece of artwork. We have used a range of tools on the software to develop our skills.
