Hello Moore class!

My name is Mr Arnold and I’m going to be your class teacher in Year 4. I am sure

some of you may have seen me around school at various points, but I thought it’d be

good for you all to know a little about me before September. I have been a teacher

for over 10 years, this will be my fourth at River Primary. I really enjoy maths games,

word wheels and I like to think I’m really good at solving riddles but Miss Ward tells

I’m not really! Outside of school I have lots of hobbies – mainly sports. I enjoy skiing,

playing golf and cycling in my spare time. When I’m not doing this you’ll probably

find me at the Rec ground in River being chased by my 2-year-old son – feel free to

say hello if you see me.

Our class name will be Moore class, after Captain Tom Moore who I’m sure we all

remember from the lockdown period. He set himself the target of raising £1000 by

walking 100 laps of his garden for his 100th birthday, he eventually raised over £30

million for the NHS. It has also been announced that he is to receive a knighthood

from the Queen. Our classroom will be where the Year 5 classrooms were this year

and our class Teaching Assistants will be Mrs Clarke and Miss Farebrother. The other

class will have Miss Ward as their teacher. Our first topic will be ‘Potions’ which will

involve us finding out about different liquids, solids and gases, as well you all writing

your own potions!

In class I like to make sure you’re all ready to answer questions, so there’s a no-

hands up rule in class. You will have a rota of different jobs in class that will change

throughout the year so you will all have the opportunity to try different things.

Where you are sat will also change throughout the year, remember that I will always

try to place you where I think you will do your best learning. I know that the end to

Year 3 has been tricky for everyone in different ways, so I think it’s important that

you don’t worry about any missed learning – we will cover this in class from

September. I hope you all have a wonderful summer and stay safe so we can all be

back in school in September.

Take care

Mr Arnold
