KingfisherClass (Lower KS2)

Welcome to our class!  In Kingfisher Class we teach children in Years 3 and Years 4 and teach Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum.  Class 3 is sometimes referred to as lower Key Stage 2 – the children will continue to work in Key Stage 2 until they leave primary school at the end of Year 6.  We continue to develop our reading, numeracy and literacy skills – through a greater emphasis on spelling strategies, reading comprehension skills as well as reading a wider variety of genres, a more complex range of sentences, applying and explaining their maths along side developing skills for all their multiplication tables.  You can learn more about the Key Stage 2 national curriculum on our National Curriculum page.

You can find some useful information about our Topic of the Term, and information about home learning and below are a selection of the children's Key Instant Recall Facts (learning updates). 
If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to contact Miss Hill, the Class 3 Kingfishers teacher.
