Welcome to our Learning for Spring term 2 (WC: 1st March)
 
Our new topic will be Ready, Steady, Grow! We have lots of fun activities planned for this half term. 
This week in Literacy we will be reading the story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We will be looking at life cycles of different animals including butterflies and chicks. 
 
In phonics we will learn new sounds and words and there will be lots of activities to practise the phase 2/3 sounds and words that we already know too.
 
In Maths we are going to be looking at 2d shapes and repeating patterns. We will be looking at some trickier 2d shapes and the shapes we see around us in the environment.
