Duke Awards 6.6.25

Congratulations to our Year 2s

Congratulations to Jack, Ariella and Charlie in Year 2 for achieving their Gold Mini Duke Award. The Duke Team

Congratulations also Fleur and Ella for completing their Gold Junior Duke!

Toby did a great job of presenting his Power Point today in his lesson as one of his challenges towards his Gold Duke Award. The other pupils really enjoyed listening to his findings and watching the video clip. Well done to Toby!

The deadline for completing 7 of the 14 challenges is on June 23rd. Your child can still complete the challenges over the summer holidays and receive their badge and certificates in September but will not be able to take part in the celebration on the 3^rd July as we need to finalise numbers by the 23rd June. The Duke Team

🎨 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.

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.
