Welcome to our Year 6 class page!

I would like to welcome you all back to school ready for another busy academic year. I hope that you have had a peaceful, restful, and enjoyable summer, and feel refreshed for new challenges ahead. This year is one of the most important as all their learning at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School is focused on their SATs in the summer. This year will be both challenging and rewarding as they hone their skills ready for the adventure that is High school.
In Year 6, they will produce extended writes across numerous genres and in this half term they will link to our class novels. The students will use all their skills from Year 1 all the way to Year 6 to create their final pieces that showcase all their skills.
In Maths, children will focus on place value and the main calculation methods needed in Year 6. They will solve problems involved in everyday life, including money, weight, capacity, and volume.
In Science, the students will be revisiting electrical circuits, learning how to draw conventional circuit diagrams and use models to explain current, resistance and voltage. The class will apply their knowledge of switches and electrical circuits to design and produce their own practical devices.
Year 6 will be focusing on the Tudors in History, and we will be welcoming Catherine from History to Life into school as we experience what life was life in Tudor times. Our art and design project will concentrate on designs and creating an item of clothing that would have been worn in Tudor times.
The tales have been retold using accessible language and with the help of Tony Ross’s engaging black-and-white illustrations, each play is vividly brought to life allowing these culturally enriching stories.
It will be a very busy but equally enjoyable half term for the children, and I am sure that they will rise to the challenges set before them.

Dear Parents and Carers,
As we reach the end of another wonderful school year, I wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support throughout the year.
When I look back over the past twelve months, there is so much to celebrate. We have witnessed fantastic sporting achievements, impressive academic successes, and countless moments of personal growth. More importantly, we have made wonderful memories together as a school family. From special events and celebrations to everyday moments of learning and laughter, our children have continued to make us proud.
Our school is much more than a place of learning; it is a community, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a fabulous one. The support, encouragement and kindness shown by our families help to make OLMC the special place that it is.
A huge thank you must go to the Friends of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Their contribution to school life is simply incredible. Not only do they work tirelessly to raise valuable funds that benefit all of our children, but they also bring so much joy, fun and community spirit to our school. We are truly grateful for everything they do.
I would also like to thank our wonderful staff. Their dedication, care and commitment to the children never go unnoticed. They work incredibly hard every day to ensure that every child feels valued, supported and challenged to be the very best they can be. I am privileged to work alongside such a talented and caring team.
On a personal note, I would like to thank you for the support you have shown me during my second year as Headteacher. Leading OLMC is a privilege that I never take for granted, and being part of such a wonderful school family means so much to me. Your kindness, encouragement and trust are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to continuing our journey together in the years ahead.
As we say goodbye for the summer, we also say a special farewell to our Year 6 children. They have been a truly wonderful year group and exceptional ambassadors for our school. They have represented OLMC with pride, kindness and determination, and we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved. We wish them every success and happiness as they begin the next exciting chapter of their education. They will always remain part of the OLMC family.
I hope that the summer holidays provide everyone with an opportunity to rest, relax and enjoy precious family time together. Please stay safe, make lots of happy memories, and take time to recharge over the six-week break.
We look forward to welcoming you all back in September, refreshed and ready for another exciting year.
With sincere thanks and best wishes,
Mrs Philippa Martin
