Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 & 4)
Mathematic
Our principal focus of mathematics teaching in lower key stage 2 is to support students to become more fluent with whole numbers and the 4 operations, including number facts and the concept of place value. Students should develop written and mental methods and perform calculations accurately with large whole numbers.
At this stage, students should develop their ability to solve a range of problems, including with simple fractions and decimal place value. Teaching also ensures that students draw with increasing accuracy and develop mathematical reasoning so they can analyse shapes and their properties, and confidently describe the relationships between them.
By the end of year 4, students should have memorised their multiplication tables up to and including the 12 multiplication table and show precision and fluency in their work.
Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 & 4)
English
At lower key stage 2, we aim to develop the students’ understanding and enjoyment of stories, poetry, plays and non-fiction. Students are encouraged to justify their views about what they have read: with support at the start of year 3 and increasingly independently by the end of year 4. Students should be able to write down their ideas with a reasonable degree of accuracy and with good sentence punctuation. Our teachers attempt to consolidate students’ writing skills, their vocabulary, their grasp of sentence structure and their knowledge of punctuation and grammar. Our students are encouraged to spell words as accurately as possible using their phonic knowledge and other knowledge of spelling rules. In years 3 and 4, students are encouraged to be more familiar with and confident in using language in a greater variety of situations, and for a variety of audiences and purposes, including through drama, formal presentations and debate.
