Miss R White
About me
After six wonderful years at our school as Miss White, this summer brings an exciting change as I become Mrs Foxley! At home, life is full of fun and adventure with my three-year-old son, Jude, and our lovely dog, Reggie. We love spending time together as a family, going on holidays, and enjoying the outdoors.
I’m a big fan of running, shopping, and adding to my ever-growing shoe collection. I also adore anything pink and sparkly, and you’ll always find a touch of it somewhere in my classroom!
This is my second year teaching Year 6, and I absolutely love it. Although the work can be challenging, it’s incredibly rewarding to see how far the children have come and to help them reach the end goal of their primary education. We have so much to look forward to this year, including unforgettable trips, exciting shows, and our much-anticipated residential, plus plenty of fun along the way!
Our Year 6 Curriculum
This year in Year 6, we have an exciting and inspiring curriculum ahead, designed to spark curiosity, develop independence, and prepare us for the next big step into secondary school.
English
In English, we’ll be diving into some powerful and thought-provoking texts, including the brilliant Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through our reading and writing, we’ll explore important themes, develop our authorial voice, and become confident, thoughtful communicators.
Maths
In Maths, we’ll build on everything we’ve learned so far; solving problems, reasoning logically, and preparing for SATs with plenty of support and encouragement along the way. In Science, we’ll explore fascinating topics and enjoy hands-on investigations that bring learning to life.
Our History curriculum takes us back in time as we learn all about World War I and World War II, discovering their impact both globally and locally. We’ll also explore the rich heritage of our area with a focus on the Consett Steel Works, a topic close to our community’s heart.
There’s so much to look forward to in our Computing curriculum, where the children will create videos, presentations, digital music and more. It’s going to be an exciting year of creativity and innovation using technology!
We’ll also enjoy a full and varied foundation curriculum:
- Geography: exploring our world and the people in it.
- Art & DT: getting creative with imaginative and practical projects.
- RE & PSHE: learning about beliefs, values, emotions, and wellbeing.
- PE: staying active, working as a team, and representing our school with pride in inter-school sports competitions, which I can’t wait for!
And of course, one of the best parts of Year 6 is our amazing learning beyond the classroom- with exciting trips, a memorable residential, and special projects and performances that make this year truly unforgettable.
We’re all set for a fun, busy, and brilliant final year of primary school!
