Welcome to 6CR’s webpage. We are a kind, enthusiastic and inquisitive class who will always try our best. We enjoy learning about and developing our understanding of the world around us through the wide variety of subjects and experiences that are on offer at our school.
“Our class is amazing because we are all so kind to each other and we get to do lots of amazing things.” – Franklin
Our class teacher is Miss Rowden, who teaches us in the mornings and some afternoons, and we are very lucky to have Miss Attewell working with us as well. In addition to this, we are taught by many other teachers who are based at our school, as well as specialist teachers who come in to work with us. We are very fortunate to learn from teachers who are so passionate about their subject.
“I like how everyone in our school is so supportive. They will always help you if you ever need anything.” – Jess
We are looking forward to an exciting final year at Theale Primary School. Here is some more information about what we will be learning and when:
Every morning, we have collective worship, English, spelling and maths. In English, we learn about different text types (both fiction and non-fiction) through reading comprehension, extended writing and grammar tasks. Our daily spelling lessons help us to understand the many spelling rules that make up the English language and those tricky words that don’t follow a rule. We enjoy trying to include our new spelling words in our writing each week.
Our maths lessons are taught by either Mrs Parsley or Miss Rowden. We are excited to be working on lots of reasoning and problem-solving questions this year, to develop a deeper understanding of the various maths concepts. We are working through the maths curriculum and are becoming confident and successful in maths every day.
“I feel so lucky to have a lovely classroom to learn in because it’s a nice learning environment.” – Evan
We have a number of subject specialists who work with us each week, many of whom have professional experience in their field.
“I’m so lucky to have lots of teachers. They are so kind and caring and they help me if I am stuck on things!” – Summer
On alternate Mondays, we have history with Mrs Eva or PE with specialist coaches who help us build our skills in a range of sporting activities.
On Tuesdays, we have either art with Mrs Lockhart or RE with Mrs Bradbury. As a Church of England school, we learn lots about Christianity. We also learn about different religions and can identify similarities in their beliefs.
Every week, on a Wednesday, we have life skills with Mrs Parsley and French with Madame Bastable; we hope to be writing paragraphs in French by the end of year!
On Thursday afternoons, we have performing arts, comprising of music, dance and drama lessons. We are taught music by Miss Rowden. In addition to our weekly music lessons, we are currently learning about music throughout the ages and are enjoying listening to a wide variety of pieces in our collective worship. Claire and Carrie teach us dance and drama respectively. Both are professionals in their field, with a wealth of experience that we can learn from each week. They are also a vital part of our end of year production, which takes place at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading.
“We have so many opportunities in our class and we get to do lots of fun things!” – Hesper.
On Fridays, we have science with Mrs Jones or geography with Mrs Parsley and computing with Mrs Hearn. We are looking forward to developing our programming skills this year.
In Year 6, we are becoming independent and resilient learners, who are working hard to be successful and confident young people - ready to make the exciting transition onto secondary school and beyond.
