Year 4 2025 - 2026

Mrs Ganson

 

Welcome to the Year 4 class website!

We are excited to have you join us for an engaging and rewarding year of learning. As part of our Catholic school community, we are guided by our faith and strive to live out Christian values in all that we do—showing kindness, respect, and compassion to others every day. This is a place where curiosity, creativity, and confidence grow as we explore new topics, develop key skills, and support one another on our learning journey. Here you’ll find updates on our class activities, important information for parents and carers, and snapshots of the amazing work happening in Year 4. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year together, rooted in faith and friendship.
