On 17 June, a group of Year 6 pupils was invited to Mayfield School for a day of Science challenges. The topic was forensics. Team Holmewood had to solve a case by analysing fingerprints and handwriting, blood testing, chromatography of ink and flame testing. We learned a lot and had fun, thank you Mayfield School for having us! Cecilia Sanchez de Norville
Four Year 6 pupils set off to Worth for their annual inter-schools maths challenge. The team tackled five different challenges throughout the day, testing both their mathematical knowledge and collaborative skills.
One highlight was the shuttle round, where the team split into pairs. Pair 2 could only begin their question after Pair 1 had solved theirs and passed on the answer—making accuracy and communication essential.
The pupils worked exceptionally hard throughout the day and quickly learned the importance of reading questions carefully and double-checking answers as a team. Their efforts paid off with a well-deserved 2nd place—just 5 marks behind the winners, out of a possible 284! Clare Bennett
What an incredible afternoon of swimming at our recent gala against Somerhill! In what provide to be an exceptionally close and exciting competition, the final result came down to the very last few events. After an impressive 49 races, Holmewood came out victorious.
Mr Stevens said "This was a true team effort. Huge congratulations to every single child who took part. Whether you swam in one race or four, you played an important role in securing the victory. Your determination, team spirit and resilience in the pool were fantastic to see."
A special thank you to Ms Bowman, Mrs Bradbury and Mr Stevens for organising such a smoothly run event and to all the supporters cheering from the sides.
Well done Team Holmewood - a brilliant achievement and a wonderful example of teamwork in action!

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!
