Children will develop their understanding of movement and turns in Year 2. They will describe movement in terms of up, down, left and right, as well as forwards and backwards. This can be quite challenging for children as the direction of forwards, backwards, left and right will change depending on the way a person or object is facing. Quarter, half and three-quarter turns as well as clockwise and anticlockwise are also introduced. Children will need plenty of practice with all of this and our latest resources, just published, take a fun look at describing shape patterns with turns. Harder than they might seem!
