In Art, our young artists have been exploring self-portraits! Using mirrors to closely study their facial features, they mixed paints to create just the right tones for skin, hair, and eyes – resulting in some truly thoughtful and expressive work. Over in Maths, we’ve been diving deeper into number partitioning, practising counting in 10s and 1s, and learning to estimate where numbers belong on a number line. A week full of creativity and number fun! Rose Lee
This week in Forest School, our Year 2 children got creative with nature! The class had a fantastic time making leaf-kites and crafting beautiful coloured-paper photo frames, decorated with colourful autumn leaves. The children loved exploring textures, shapes, and patterns while connecting with the outdoors.
This week in Science, we explored how the shape of objects made from different materials can be changed. We discovered that a force is a push, a pull, or a twist. The children enjoyed experimenting with a variety of materials and observing how they responded to different types of force.
👏 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.
