Lower Key Stage 2
In Year 3 and 4, there are three classes: Maple Class (Mr Lee) These classes are mixed, with children from Year 3 and Year 4. The classes mix for the teaching of English and Maths to best meet the learning needs of pupils. Creative Curriculum Topics In Year 3 and 4 we split the year into a variety of topics where we introduce the skills and understanding for curriculum subjects such as Science, Art, Music, History and Geography through a connecting theme. Topics include:
This gives the children the opportunity to learn about topics in fun, practical and creative ways. Our topics also encompass our ‘Together’ Curriculum (click here for the Together Curriculum page) along with our Philosophy for Children approach (click here for the P4C page), allowing children to think more deeply about local and global issues.
They have opportunities to deepen their understanding through trips out e.g. @ Bristol, Cadbury’s World or Bristol Museum or through experts coming to school such as The Daylight Theatre Company performing Pharaoh's Son as part of our Pyramid Power topic.
Maths and Literacy Maths (click here for the Maths page) and Literacy (click here for the Literacy page) run alongside the topics, and include ‘skills sessions’ for handwriting and arithmetic. The aim is to ensure that all pupils are given opportunities to access the Year 3 and Year 4 objectives to a greater depth. |
