Here are Year 7 completing a circuit or their battery powered car model projects. You can see the children testing their hand-made push switches using card and tin foil, that makes the circuit connecting a 9V battery to a DC motor. The motor will eventually be connected to a belt and pulley system that will turn the wheels of their car. James Murray
Year 7 have been practising the past tense by writing a postcard about a trip to Paris. Madame Simpson
In the run up to Pi Day (13/4), some Year 7 and 8 pupils have been experimenting with probability and Buffon’s Needle experiment. This involved drawing parallel lines 2 matchstick lengths apart and throwing a lot of matchsticks to see where they land. By dividing the total number of sticks thrown (as a class) by the number that crossed the line, a value wonderfully appeared that approached Pi (3.14). Alison Tripp
Year 7 pupils have been busy preparing and delivering presentations on their favourite books or books they are currently reading. A wonderful variety of literature was showcased, ranging from classics like David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie to My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell and more modern works such as Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Pupils shared their thoughts on plot, character, setting, and genre in their thoughtful and well-prepared presentations —well done, Year 7! Alexandra Price
Languages are not just about grammar and vocabulary; our y6 and 7 beginners have looked into the history of Spain and the Spanish Royal family. Madame BassGualbert

✨Christmas Extravaganza!!✨
The Christmas Extravaganza was nothing short of magical! This year’s event offered so many opportunities for our pupils to shine. From heartfelt performances to original songs written entirely by the children themselves, the evening showcased the incredible creativity and confidence that thrives in our school.
It was inspiring to see such a vast array of talent on display musicians, singers, and performers all sharing taking stage in front of a very busy audience. These moments remind us just how special our school is, and how much our pupils have to offer.
A huge thank you to all the staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event possible. Your dedication and support ensured that every child had the chance to participate and feel proud of their achievements.
Many thanks too to the Friends of Holmewood for the delicious mulled wine and festive nibbles that made the evening extra special.
