Reception Spring 2 worksheets: Food and growing
A 46-page workbook that covers the whole term, so you can teach everything your child learns in Reception in Spring 2 at home. Spring 2 is about food and growing: healthy eating, seeds and plants, vegetables, the weather and where our food comes from. Children read and write words with sounds side by side (st, fr, nd), read 2-part words like sunset, finish their capital letters, start writing a simple sentence, and work with numbers to 20, weight and capacity.

Questions
What does the Reception Spring 2 workbook cover?
Everything most UK schools teach in Reception in Spring 2 for the topic “Food and growing”: phonics (st sp sn sl, fr cr dr tr, nd nt mp lk, 2-part words: sunset, rocket, popcorn, Tricky words come, were, there, little, one, when), letter and number writing, reading words and sentences, stories and rhymes, maths, and sheets for all 7 areas of the EYFS. A 6-week plan shows what to do each week.
Does it follow the EYFS?
Yes. Every sheet names the EYFS area and early learning goal it works towards, and the end-of-term checklist lists them all, so you can see what your child can do.
Do I need to be a teacher to use it?
No. Every sheet has short teaching notes for the grown-up: the key words to use, how to teach it, what to ask, and what to do if it's tricky. About 20 minutes a day is enough.
Do I need to buy the books?
No. The stories are printed in the workbook. The book sheets (Oliver's Vegetables, The Enormous Turnip, Elmer, Pumpkin Soup) work with any edition, so a library copy is fine.
Which handwriting style does it use?
The letter shapes taught in English primary schools, written unjoined as Reception children learn them, on 4-line handwriting guides.
