On Monday, as a conclusion to our Science topic of Plants, Year 3 visited Riverhill Himalayan Gardens. We had a wonderful time exploring the historic gardens learning about intrepid plant hunters of the past and creating Andrew Goldsworthy inspired woodland art. Despite the heat, we had a wonderful day surrounded by nature! Year 3 Team
In WoLLoW, year 5s have been learning about idioms and how they relate to the culture of the country. We played a little game of charades to guess the idiom. Funny and instructive! Madame Simpson
👏 Scholarship Success 👏
Congratulations to Matilda on her Music Scholarship to Eastbourne College!
Lydia Carter, Head of Music, said “Matilda impressed Eastbourne`s Director of Music with her determination and musicality combined with thorough preparation which earned her a music scholarship as a cellist, flautist and singer! An amazing achievement for someone who until a month before her scholarship had never sung solo before!”
Well done Tilly! Thank you for your contribution to Holmewood music over the years.

🎨 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.
