Year 4 15.11.24

Science

Year 4 have been learning about circuits. We made circuits using batteries, bulbs, buzzers and motors. We then looked at diagrams of circuits, predicted if they would work and then built them to test. Ellie King

Maths

Year 4 have been building their scores on Times Table Rock Stars as part of the ‘England Rocks’ challenge. Charlotte Hall

Anti-Bullying Week

Year 4 embraced Anti-Bullying Week, wearing their odd socks on Tuesday and creating their own ‘Choose Respect’ posters. Elizabeth Gorin

Zachary Runs Chess Club

Zachary in Year 7 ran his first chess club session for Year 4 on Friday. He had 14 Year 4s taking part!

On the 27th of September we had the pleasure of welcoming back Old Holmewoodians, who attended the school in the 1960s, and former staff, Sandy Helm and Barbara Simpson.⁠
⁠
The event was organised in part by Old Holmewoodian Haydn Keenan, who is currently producing a film about Holmewood in the 1960s. The film highlights the multicultural nature of the school and the formative impact it has. Testimonials shown here reveal the same.⁠
⁠
The evening consisted of a tour of the school and a wonderful gala dinner interspersed with speeches, singing and even a Shakespeare performance. Our Orangery and screens were filled with film footage, photographs and newspaper clippings documenting the years the alumni had spent at the school.⁠
⁠
It was a truly wonderful evening which embodied everything that has made Holmewood so special across its 80 years – the life-long friendships, the community and the opportunities. ⁠
⁠
A huge thank you to those who attended, those who helped put on the event and a special thank you to Haydn for organising and inviting everyone - we cannot wait to watch the finished film.⁠ ⁠
