Public Speaking Competition at Eastbourne College

On Wednesday afternoon a group of year 6 pupils from Holmewood took part in a prep school public speaking competition at Eastbourne College. Our participants did an excellent job and were proud ambassadors for our school. The boys (Oscar, Jasper and Oliver) were very entertaining and spoke eloquently about their topic : ‘ Reasons why you should never give up’ . The girls (Nilaya, Shekinah and Amaia) were equally fantastic and delivered their topic: ‘Why children should rule the world’ with passion. The girls’ team shared first place with Windlesham . Well done team Holmewood! Bronwen Jervois

 

 

Modern Languages

Year 6 have been taking on the role of presenters to introduce the weather forecast in Spain. It’s a lot more stressful to speak in front of the class but they enjoyed the challenge! Mme Simpson

Bridge Building

Year 6 are studying bridge structures, learning about beams, and trusses. They have worked in teams to construct the strongest possible bridge. The strongest are able to carry the weight of two  building bricks. James Murray / Paul Unwin
