In WoLLoW this week, Year 5 have been looking at how word order and sentence structure can differ in languages and how we can use it for special effect. We had a go at imitating Yoda from Star Wars. This was given as a task in the UK Language Olympiads. Can you do it? Madame Simpson
5TM enjoyed a wonderful Form Time testing their descriptive and listening skills, ably led by Will G, the form captain. Will explained the pairs had to work together to create matching pictures. One was to describe a picture using only shapes and locations and the other was to draw exactly what was described. There were some great similarities and some amusing differences. Alison Tripp
On international Maths day, known as Pi day (14/3 when the date is written in its American format) children in Years 5 and 6 tested their accuracy skills this week by measuring the circumferences and diameter of different circles. Dividing the circumference by the diameter led to an interesting discovery for them – they were all very similar, no matter how large or small the circle was it always seemed to be around 3, and so Pi was discovered!

Yes, it’s official. After 37 years at Holmewood, Mrs Porritt, Director of Sport, is retiring.
And what a great way to spend her penultimate week - overseeing the annual girls’ football tournament that she started four years ago. Along with her follow coaches at Rose Hill and Somerhill, Mrs Porritt wanted to give every girl from Years 3-6 the chance to play in an end of season tournament. This year approximately 900 girls from local prep schools played over the two days at the three venues which is incredible.
It was wonderful to see all the girls playing some great football on some perfect Holmewood pitches. Many thanks to the staff from the other hosting schools, to the visiting schools, and to the amazing Mrs Porritt and the team at Holmewood for such a hugely successful couple of days.
