Enrichment
In Enrichment some of the Year 4s have been exploring statistics. This week we had to gather data on a classroom filled with balloons. We had to organise them into categories and then find a way to display our data. Ellie King

📖 National Year of Reading 2026 📚
This month marks the launch of the National Year of Reading Go All In 2026 - and Holmewood is proud to be fully supporting the initiative.
We already champion reading for pleasure in our school week, and this year we’ll be finding even more ways to make reading part of our everyday language and culture. The Go All In campaign reconnects reading with the things that already inspire us such as playlists, football matches, films, food and family time. It’s reading that fits how we live, not the other way around.
With so many distractions at our fingertips, fewer of us are making time to read and yet, just 10 minutes a day can boost wellbeing, cognitive function and personal development. That small habit adds up to over 60 hours of brain exercise a year! A love of reading is one of the most valuable gifts we can pass on to our children.
From picture books to graphic novels, e‑books, audiobooks and everything in between, we want everyone to discover the joy of reading in a way that feels modern, social and personal. Our brilliant catering team is joining in, sharing articles about where our food comes from, and we’ll be celebrating reading across the whole school site throughout the year.
Watch this space for exciting activities as Holmewood House goes all in.

✨Bebras Coding Challenge Results ✨
Organised by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the Bebras Challenge encourages pupils to develop their computational thinking through a number of coding challenges in a given time. By breaking down problems using decomposition and abstraction, pupils deepen their understanding and learn to devise innovative solutions. These essential skills are not only vital for the Bebras Challenge but also support many areas of the computing curriculum, including coding.
Holmewood House is celebrating an outstanding set of results in this year’s competition. The school achieved 10 Gold certificates in the Junior category, placing ten Year 6 pupils in the top 10% nationally out of more than 156,000 participants.
One Year 8 pupil also chose to take on the Intermediate Challenge and secured a Gold as well!
Well done everyone, we are very proud of you.
