Questions teachers ask
- Which stage is 4th Class?
- 4th Class is part of Stage 3 (3rd and 4th Class). Learning outcomes describe what pupils work towards by the end of the stage, so a plan for 4th Class draws on the same outcomes as 3rd Class, pitched for your pupils.
- Can Heapso plan 4th Class lessons?
- Yes. Choose 4th Class and a subject, describe what you want to teach, and Heapso suggests matching Stage 3 learning outcomes. Pip cites only the outcomes you add.
