Lower Key Stage 2
Lower Key Stage Two is for Year 3 (7-8 year olds) and Year 4 (8-9 year olds)
In both Years 3 and 4, the children receive the Hotham REAL curriculum offer. Maths is taught through the Maths No Problem and Maths for Mastery approach and Science through the school's own planning in line with the National Curriculum. Wherever possible all other subjects are delivered through that term's real project. During the first few weeks of term parents will receive an information leaflet detailing what the Year group's project is for that term, along with a knowledge organiser for you to help your child learn the key knowledge at home. Weekly homework sheets will also give you the highlights of what your child has learnt that week, along with discussion points for you to find more from your child.
PE is taught twice a week, at least once by a PE specialist. The music provision is delivered by our school music teacher and our Year 4 all children are given the opportunity to learn the clarinet, led by our school music teacher and the Wandsworth Music service.
Find this term's leaflets and those of previous projects attached below.
The Year 4 children currently have statutory national assessments. They will sit the National Times Tables check in the summer term.
