Sycamore Class visit Plumstead Library!

On Friday, Sycamore Class enjoyed an afternoon of reading for pleasure at Plumstead Library. We were treated to a storytelling session before choosing our very own library book to borrow. 

Arts Weeks across Year 2!

Year 2 have thrown themselves into Arts Weeks and have undertaken a variety of artistic skills.  Here are some photos to see what we have been up to!

Year 2 investigate... GERMS!

 This week, Year 2 have begun to investigate germs as part of our healthy living science topic. We want to understand how germs and bacteria are spread and whether washing your hands with soap and water really works to reduce the spread!

Method.

1. We placed our unwashed hands over one piece of bread and the sealed it in a zip lock bag.

2. We then thoroughly washed our hands with soap and water before touching the next piece bread and again placing it in a sealed zip lock bag.

3. Our third piece of bread is our 'control' bread. This piece was handled with a glove on and did not touch our hands at all, again placing it in a sealed zip lock bag.

We will monitor the bread for changes and see if we can answer our questions next week!

Space Art in Year 2!

 Year 2 have blasted off into Space this first half of the Spring Term and while we are here we have learnt how to draw rockets using lines and shapes to create impact!

Here are some of the children's work across the year group. 

They're out of this world! 

Year 2 FIREWORKS in Music

KAPOW!  BOOM!  BANG!  ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Year 2 have been working hard on beat and rhythm in music this term. The children have been reading rhythm patterns to stamp, and clap - as well as drumming on the table. They completed 2 or more rhythms at the same time AND have started to compose their own 2 bar rhythms.  

Later this term they are getting an online visit from out friends at the London Symphony Orchestra and will be making up a piece of music about fireworks.  They have listened to music performed by the LSO on LSO PLAY and have been discussing it using musical vocabulary.

Can you read some of our rhythms?
