This week in Science, Year 2 became brilliant ball investigators! We carried out an exciting experiment to find out which surface a ball would travel the furthest on. Before testing, we made our predictions and talked about the different variables – deciding what we needed to change and what should stay the same to make it a fair test. Great thinking and teamwork, Year 2!
In English this week, Year 2 have been diving into stories and letting their imaginations run wild! We explored ‘The Little Story That Didn’t Want to Be Told’ but this time, we listened without any pictures. This helped us imagine the scenes and characters for ourselves, which led to some fantastic descriptive writing using clues from the text as well as our own ideas.
We also revisited the lovely tale of ‘The Bear and the Piano’, having a go at retelling it with rich, descriptive language to really bring it to life for our listeners. Alongside this, we’ve been learning how to use the conjunctions and, but and or to make our sentences more interesting and varied. Year 2 have been amazing storytellers this week.  Well done!
This week in year 2 the children became the storytellers and in partners retold the story of ‘The Bear and the Piano’
🎆 The Friends of Holmewood Fireworks Night 🎇
What an incredible evening! Fireworks Night is always such a fun event when families, staff and old Holmewoodians come together, and the atmosphere this year was fantastic. Our boarding house was buzzing with excited children, and the glow stick stall was mobbed!
Huge thanks to all our volunteers, especially the Friends of Holmewood for organising another wonderful event. We’re already looking forward to the Christmas Fair on 29 November.
Thank you too to our fantastic vendors @larrattbutcherstw @eridgedairy @julietscafe and @pizzacucinavans (fish and chips) for keeping everyone well-fed and happy.

When you go home,
Tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow,
We gave our today.
Holmewood’s Head Boy and Head Girl accompanied Senior Housemaster, Mr Morgan-Jones, to the Remembrance Service in Tunbridge Wells this morning. Both pupils placed Royal British Legion wreaths at the War Memorial on behalf of the whole school community - Governors, parents, teachers and pupils. It was a very moving and poignant service, and lovely to see so many Holmewood families, past and present, gathered for this special occasion.
