Year 4

Welcome to Year 4

In Year 4 the children learn with Mr Rhodes and Miss Browne, with Miss Donaghy, Mrs Bailey and Miss Olga as our teaching assistants. Each class will be taught by Mrs Gatenby for some sessions at the end of each week too.

We are very excited to start our new term and for the children to learn all about our Year 4 curriculum. We have lots of exciting lessons and opportunities across the year which we will keep you updated on.

Swimming starts on the second week back with the first session being Wednesday 9th September. Children will need to bring a towel and their swimming kit to each session. It is quicker and easier for children to wear their swimming costume under their school clothes during the day, rather than changing into it at Armley Leisure Centre.
