The children have really enjoyed starting their maths learning this week and having their own workbooks! We have been exploring the concepts practically using resources before recording the answers. Working in pairs and small groups is a great way to develop mathematical understanding and reasoning collaboratively! We have also started our ninja maths which works on developing mental maths skills and this has been a big hit! Emma Bonwick
During the Autumn Term the Year 1 children will be learning about Castles. We introduced the topic by getting the children to think about what they would like to learn about castles and any questions they wanted answered. The children wrote their questions and we will endeavour to answer as many of these as we can during the term, being led by the interests of the children. We spent time looking at books, stories and fairy tales about castles or that featured castles in them. Antoinette Faure

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!
