Year 6 are creating their pieces for their Hnefatafl Viking board game. Making 17 ‘Enemy’ counters (1 extra) out of white clay and 9 ‘Warriors’ (1 extra), plus a ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ out of terracotta clay. Once fired in a kiln they will be glazed.
Pupils will also be working on making a Hnefatafl board and a decorated box to keep their pieces in. Tom Johnson

What an incredible afternoon of swimming at our recent gala against Somerhill! In what provide to be an exceptionally close and exciting competition, the final result came down to the very last few events. After an impressive 49 races, Holmewood came out victorious.
Mr Stevens said "This was a true team effort. Huge congratulations to every single child who took part. Whether you swam in one race or four, you played an important role in securing the victory. Your determination, team spirit and resilience in the pool were fantastic to see."
A special thank you to Ms Bowman, Mrs Bradbury and Mr Stevens for organising such a smoothly run event and to all the supporters cheering from the sides.
Well done Team Holmewood - a brilliant achievement and a wonderful example of teamwork in action!

House News 👏
This morning, six brave musicians from Years 7 and 8, performed in front of the school in the first ever House Solo Music Competition. A daunting task but they took it in their stride and represented their houses brilliantly.
A couple of the children were less experienced performers and had been recruited last minute, making their efforts even more impressive!
Our judges, Head Ruth O’Sullivan, Bursar Mr Laker and Head of Music Mrs Carter, will now deliberate and the winner announced in assembly on Monday. In the meantime we look forward to the soloists from Years 5 & 6, and Years 3 & 4 taking to the stage.
Good luck to Ash, Cob, Cedar, Yew, Oak and Beech!
