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.
What a beautiful day at last to kick off our boys` hockey and girls` football seasons. Some great play in action!
Thanks to Great Walstead and Kent College for coming to Holmewood, and to all the parents for their support.

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!
