Our class is named after Hannah Shields: the first Irish woman to climb Mount Everest. She is an inspiration for us in never giving up and aiming high.

This is year is going to be exciting and full of learning. We are going to learn to swim with our weekly swimming lessons at Armley Swimming Baths. In Science, we will learn about organisms and their habitats – we will discover a variety of living things that live on our doorstep in Cross Flatts Park and as far away as the Amazon Rainforest!  We will develop our fluency and comprehension skills through enjoying a wide range of exciting books. These will inspire our writing and help us to learn new vocabulary. In Geography we will be learning about how land use in Beeston has changed over time. In History we will discover the influences Ancient Roman civilisation had on modern society and the impact the Anglo Saxons and Vikings had on Great Britain. At the end of Year 4, we have our Times Tables Test and will be preparing for this in Maths lessons and by using Times Tables Rock Stars in school and at home. We will work with numbers within 10,000 using different calculation strategies. We use an enquiry-based approach in our lessons showing Confidence, Learning, Independence, Motivation and Belief.

We are 4 Chandi! In 4 Chandi, we are helpful, enthusiastic and hardworking. Our teachers are Mrs Emms Monday to Thursday and Mrs Taylor on a Friday. Our teaching assistant is Mrs Majeed.

Our class is named after Preet Chandi: known as Polar Preet, she broke two Guinness World Records in Jan 2023, for both the longest solo unsupported one-way polar ski journey for a woman and also the longest solo unsupported one-way polar ski journey overall.
