Lower Wortley Primary School

Learning in Years 3 and 4

In our Lower Key Stage Two classes the children build on their practical learning experiences from Key Stage 1 and work in a formal way that is enhanced by engaging, individual, paired and group activities. We teach English and Maths sessions daily.  In addition the children have regular sessions of guided reading, individual reading and listening to their teacher read aloud from their class book.  They also have spelling lessons throughout the week.  Those children who still need additional work on their phonics skills for spelling and reading also have regular phonics teaching.  

The foundation subjects of the National Curriculum are taught through subject specific lessons for History/Geography, Art/DT, PE, Computing, RE, Music, French and Life Curriculum.  The subjects of History, Geography, Art and DT are taught on alternating half terms so within a term the children will cover all subjects but the subjects alternate over each half term.  

Throughout the curriculum we look to build in our curriculum drivers: ambition, resilience and citizenship as well as British Values. This ensures that the children have the opportunity to be engaged in meaningful and sustained learning.
