Welcome to Team Foss
(Year 4)

Welcome to Team Foss – Year 4

Team Foss are our fantastic Year 4 class! Our class aim is to be independent, responsible and active learners as we continue our journey in Key Stage Two (and to have as much fun as we can along the way). 

Who teaches in Team Foss?

• Mrs Everett teaches us on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 
• Miss Oglesby teaches us on Thursday and Friday. 
• You’ll also see Mrs Caffrey, Mrs Haselden-Atkins, Mrs Hand and Mrs Sadullah in our classroom.  

A Typical Day in Team Foss

Our days are busy, exciting and full of opportunities to shine! A typical day might include:

• Check-in – starting the day by sharing how we feel. 
• Reading – diving into stories and building our vocabulary. 
• Writing – exploring our creativity and learning new skills. 
• Maths – solving problems and practising number skills. 
• Foundation subjects – such as Geography, History, Art, Science or Computing. 

We have active Tuesdays in Team Foss with PE and Forest School. These sessions give us the chance to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and build our teamwork skills. Please come wearing your PE kit but don’t forget those smelly wellies for the forest!

Multiplication Masters

One of our big goals in Year 4 is to become Multiplication Masters, ready for the national multiplication check in the summer. To help us achieve master status, we play games, sing songs and take quizzes every single day. 

At home, you can help your child by practising times tables together and using TT Rockstars or Hit the Button. A little practice every day makes a big difference!

Reading in Team Foss

Reading is at the heart of all our learning. We ask all children to read every day and get their planners signed by an adult. Regular reading helps to build confidence, imagination and a love of books.
