Chilton Primary School
Lower Key Stage 2
Welcome back!
We hope that you all had a lovely summer holiday. We are all looking forward to welcoming everyone back and getting to know you all this year!
Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2) consists of 3 mixed year 3 and year 4 classes – Cherry, Hazel and Rowan. All classes follow the same curriculum; see below for our latest topic and useful documents. Individual class timetables are in the links.
Term 1 - what did the Romans do for Britain?
Our topic this term is Roman Britain and our enquiry question is ‘What did the Romans do for Britain?’. We will investigate who the Romans were and where they came from, use historical sources to identify what life was like in the Roman Era and explore what society was like before, during and after the Roman invasion. The topic will incorporate Art, Literacy and Drama. In addition to the topic work, there will be daily Mathematics lessons, PSHE sessions, whole class Guided Reading, PE, RE, French, Computing, Music and Science. Our class timetables are available on our class website pages. We will send a weekly update to let you know what we will be covering.
Our English unit is writing an explanation text on 'How did the Romans make their roads?' We will explore key features of explanation texts including 'Until I met Dudley' to help us.
We will be reading 'The Legend of Podkin One-Year ' for our first class novel of the year. This is a spellbinding story full of friendship, excitement and magic. We will learn skills of prediction, retrieval, improve our vocabulary and compare characters.
