To determine how many third grade boys were at Autumn Primary School on Friday, we start with the total number of third graders and the number of girls.
1. **Total third graders**: 95
2. **Number of girls**: 43
We can find the number of boys by subtracting the number of girls from the total number of third graders:
\[
\text{Number of boys} = \text{Total third graders} - \text{Number of girls} = 95 - 43 = 52
\]
Now, we know there are 52 boys in total. On Friday, we are given that 4 boys were absent. We can find how many boys were present:
\[
\text{Boys present} = \text{Total boys} - \text{Boys absent} = 52 - 4 = 48
\]
Therefore, the number of third grade boys who were at Autumn Primary School on Friday is \( \boxed{48} \).
