Laser tag was this weekends activity for the boarders. The boarders split into 2 teams and started with a game of ‘Team deathmatch’ in which the blue team won! Next it was Mr Patterson and the Miss Ives vs the boarders in a game of ‘Zombies’ with the winners being the staff, much to their joy. The final game saw the red team needing a big win to clinch the day, but the blues stayed strong and claimed a well-deserved win. Joshua Patterson
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.

🎨 Art meets Forest School 🌿
In Art, Year 3 have been making ceramic candle holders. Starting with slab-rolled terracotta with press-moulded and stamped details, their holders went in the kiln for the first bisque-firing. Pupils then applied two coats of the brush-on glazes before the second glaze firing.
This week, their holders came to life in Forest School as the children added the wick and poured in beeswax melted over the fire. It was a calming, focused activity set in the peace of the outdoors, and a wonderful chance for the children to see their patience and effort rewarded as their project finally came together. We think the finished candles look brilliant.
