As part of the VE Day commemorations to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War, pupils made medals. They learnt about the different campaign medals that were awarded and also watched an informative docudrama about VE Day by the British Legion.

Words were added to the medals to acknowledge the British values that men and women fought and died for during the war and that we enjoy today. Catherine Duncumb
This week the Year 7 Carnegies listened to first time author and illustrator Kate Rolfe explaining her working practice for her book ‘Wolf and Bear.’ They learnt some technical terms such as ‘gutter’ and ‘foil’ embossing’ and well as how much work goes into producing an illustrated book.

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!

Congratulations to our U10s who did brilliantly well at the UKSA U10 tournament at Burgess Hill, coming 4th overall.
The boys played their hearts out and should be very proud of their performance across their 8 matches; winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 2. They were a credit to Holmewood House throughout.
Well played team!
