Lower Key Stage 2

Welcome to Lower KS2

Please use the tabs to look through specific components of this year group. The Topic Overviews are especially exciting, they contain hyperlinks to help you support your child's learning - and possibly refresh your own memories!

Lower Key Stage 2 is a brilliant time for your child to build on the amazing things they learned in Key Stage 1. We follow the National Curriculum, just like in Key Stage 1, but with even more exciting challenges!

Growing Brilliant Communicators and Mathematicians:

Our main goal is to help your child become brilliant at communicating their ideas – that means reading, writing, speaking and listening even better! We'll also help them become whizzes at maths through fun and creative activities.

Year 3 and 4:

In Year 3 and 4, your child will still benefit from some familiar things they did in key stage 1 but they will also start to learn French, take swimming lessons at the local swimming pool and learn to play the ukulele. 

Reading Adventures:

We use a fantastic scheme called "Superhero Spelling" to keep building on children’s spelling skills. Some children might also start using "Accelerated Reader" online to answer questions about the stories they read.

Neat and Speedy Writing:

To help your child write beautifully and quickly, we use our Superhero Spelling words to practice our handwriting. Our handwriting scheme makes forming letters easier and faster, so they can focus on what they want to say!

Remember:

Some of the things mentioned here might be used with some, but not all, children in Lower Key Stage 2. Every child learns at their own pace, and we'll make sure they get all the support they need to shine!
