Welcome to Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS 2). LKS 2 is made up of year 3 and year 4. There are currently 6 classes in this phase. Throughout school, we strive for the children to be curious, ambitious, confident, knowledgeable, inspired and articulate in their learning.

The year 3 teachers are Mrs White & Mrs Wilson who make up - 3WW, Mr McEvoy - 3RM and Miss Taylor - 3NT. If your child is in year 3 they will also be working with our teaching assistants, Mrs Bielby, Mrs Allison, Mrs Carradice, Miss Parnaby & Mrs Bentley.

The teachers in year 4 are Miss Jones – 4LJ, Mrs Sweeney – 4LS and Mrs Hill – 4SH. If your child is in year 4 they will also be working with our teaching assistants Mrs Evans, Mrs Fieldhouse, Miss Warne and Mr Wilson. Mrs S Taylor will be teaching 4SH on a Tuesday. All children have 2 terms of swimming throughout year 4. 4LS and 4SH throughout the autumn term. 4LS and 4LJ throughout the spring term. 4LJ and 4SH throughout the summer term. We’re lucky enough to have Mrs Wynne returned as a volunteer to hear the children read occasionally too.

Across the phase we are also lucky enough to experience performance lessons from Mrs Rich and music and singing lessons with Miss Hall. All year 3 classes will experience a term of Forest schools too in order to really enrich the children’s education.

In the autumn term this year, we have already studied the Stone Age as well as learning about keeping healthy bodies and healthy minds. We’re currently investigating whether or not the Romans were remarkable or rotten in our Roman topic and looking ahead throughout the year, the children will be studying ‘Breaking News!’, ‘Locating the Maya’ and ‘Where in the World?’. We will continue to celebrate the children's learning and suggest home learning points through Marvellous Me.

All children will bring home a school reading book in a reading wallet or book bag. Reading will continue to be a major activity that should be carried out at home as much as possible. All children in year 3 have a Reading Record which accompanies their reading book. Adults who read with your child at home should complete the record to show that you have read with your child. We encourage your comments in the record on your child’s reading. Children in year 4 should still read at home as much as possible but this doesn’t need to be recorded in a reading record. Year 4 pupils use Reading Plus in school daily too.

The children are encouraged to use Time Table Rockstars at home in order to help them practice their instant recall of times tables. The children still need to learn their times tables – up to 12 x 12 by the end of year 4 but this programme concentrates on a different times table each week so they can apply their learning and work on their instant recall. Please encourage your child to access this at home too.

Should you have any queries regarding your child please don’t hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher in the playground before or after school or contact the office.
