Christmas is coming!

It may be only November but in Year 2 we are already getting ready for Christmas, rehearsing our Christmas play.

In Maths this week we have been learning how to tell the time to the nearest hour and half hour. We have started to learn how to use a digital clock and to break down the hour into 5 minute blocks.

In Literacy we have been writing explanations of how sound travels.

This is a picture of Year 2 with spot the Gorilla on Children in Need day last week.

Capacity

This week in Year 2 we have been doing lots of investigations into capacity.

Here we are playing capacity games on the laptops.

We made our own cocktails by measuring out different amounts of fruit squash.

We used the whiteboard to investigate shadows.

Week 2

We have had a busy week in Year 2. In Literacy we continued our work on Martin Waddell, using drama to ignite our imaginations. At the end of the week we wrote our own 'Big bear, Little, Bear' stories.
In Maths we sorted objects and numbers into venn diagrams.

Our class assembly was excellent and the whole school enjoyed listening to the story and watching our Haka.

Light and Sound WOW!!!

On Friday we had our 'Wow' event for our new topic, Light and Sound. We made beautiful Diva Lamps and Year 4 carved some fantastic pumpkins.
The teachers set up a dark room in the dungeon and we went down in groups, recording our thoughts on digital microphones.

It was really exciting and spooky! The Star Wars music added to the atmosphere!
