Year 7

Arena Pursuits

The Year 7’s enjoyed a wonderful day out at Arena Pursuits at the start of the week, taking part in a range of activities, where they learnt about effective communication, planning a task, listening to instructions and to each and design. The children enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of the blackcurrant fruit farm on the edge of Bewl Water. Thay were a delight to take and I am sure will long remember many of the activities, perhaps especially the raft building!! Thank you to Mis Price, Mr Crombie and Mr Porter for driving a group over and coming back for them. Well done Year 7’s. Mr Morgan-Jones

Curiosity Club

After a year of our brand-new Curiosity Club, pupils had their final session on Tuesday.

These sessions are organised to expand horizons and shared interesting facts in a cross-discipline manner. Content has sparked discussions and learning points around:

Game Theory
How time works
Green Inventions of the Future
The Wealth Gap
Decoding New Languages

For this final session, we talked about Non-Newtonian Fluids and pupils had a go making their own Oobleck. It was very messy but satisfying to experiment with how a material can go from liquid to solid on impact.

Year 7 Scholars

The Art Scholars have been continuing with their creative endeavours including using an old cello as a canvas, starting the armature for a genie in a vase and making a large octopus out of wire, newspaper, aluminium foil and PVA glue. Tom Johnson / Keith Siddle

🎨 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.
