FAQ
A
The transition from the Foundation Phase in Grade 3 to the Intermediate Phase in Grade 4 marks a significant shift in the English curriculum. In Grade 3, the focus is primarily on foundational aspects of the language, such as phonics, basic reading skills, and early writing abilities. This includes identifying letter sounds and names, recognising various digraphs, understanding vowel sounds, and developing initial spelling skills. The curriculum builds fundamental literacy skills through activities like sorting letters, rhyming words, and recognising simple spelling patterns.
In contrast, the Grade 4 curriculum in the Intermediate Phase delves deeper into the complexities of English. Here, students are introduced to more advanced concepts such as abstract and common nouns, personal and possessive pronouns, verbs (main, auxiliary, hyphenated), adverbs, prepositions, and adjectives. The curriculum also covers conjunctions, interjections, different types of sentences, and a more comprehensive understanding of tenses and punctuation. Additionally, Grade 4 students learn about synonyms and antonyms, idiomatic expressions, acronyms, and abbreviations. This progression reflects a move from learning the sounds and basic structure of the language to understanding and using its more complex grammatical and syntactical elements.
