Identifying and Describing 2D Shapes Spring Pack UK Curriculum

This pack is Spring themed and will work across countries but it is tailored for the UK.

Made to fall in-line with the New National Curriculum 2014, this pack is to be used with Year 2 Shape objectives. All activities have the objective as worded in the curriculum on the top (no use of LO/ WALT/ LI to ensure it is useable across schools) and space for names. There is a mix of activities for group/guided work and independent reinforcement activities.
