Year 3 & 4 Class Information

Welcome to Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2). This phase is a time of growth and new learning as children build on their KS1 skills, knowledge and understanding and transition into more advanced academic concepts. LKS2 is a crucial stage where students build upon their foundational knowledge and develop essential skills for future learning. 

Here's a glimpse into what LKS2 learning involves:

Building upon prior knowledge:

• Students will deepen their understanding of core subjects like English, Maths, Science, and continue to explore subjects like History, Geography, DT, Art, ICT, RE and Music but in more depth and detail. 

Developing essential skills:

• LKS2 focuses on improving reading comprehension, extended writing skills (including grammar and punctuation), mathematical problem-solving, reasoning and scientific investigation. 

Exploring new subjects:

• Students will be introduced to a foreign language (French). 

Encouraging independence:

• Children are encouraged to become more independent learners and take more responsibility for their learning.
