Lower Key Stage 2
Welcome to Lower Key Stage 2!
Welcome to the Lower KS2 class page where you can find out about all the amazing learning and fun activities that Year 3/4 have been doing during the year. This term our topic is Location, Location, Location.
We have had lots of exciting visits out exploring our local area.
The year 3/4's have been filled with exhileration while an artist, David Kirk, visited our school. He spoke about the history of Art and presented his fantastic paintings. (E.g. Buttercross, Cricket match, a train passing and many more!) It was lovely to hear the stories behind them all as they were phenomenal!

Information for parents Terms 3&4
The three classes are taught by:
Mrs Gipson and Mrs Weller with Mrs Boden and Miss Spiers as Teaching assistants
Mr Gaunt with Mrs Foulkes and Mrs Clarke as Teaching assistants
Mrs Rolison with Mrs Steele and Mrs Van den Burgh as Teaching Assistants
Reminders to parents:
Please can you make sure ALL school uniform and PE kit is appropriately named. Lost and misplaced clothing/shoes are harder to trace without names! As the weather is very mixed at the moment please could you send your child to school in a suitable coat. We do go out for playtime in the morning, afternoon and at lunchtime and the children do need to be prepared for the showers!
We are always very happy to talk to parents, but if you need more than just a quick chat, please arrange a time to meet when the teachers are not busy with the children and they can give you their undivided attention.
Have you seen the Kids’ Zone? Play games and visit some cool websites. You can vote for your favourites.
