This week in Science, Year 2 wrapped up our term’s topic with an exciting final experiment! We investigated which materials are the most waterproof by testing a variety of everyday items. The children made great predictions and enjoyed discovering the results. We also worked in small groups to design informative and colourful posters all about Sir Isaac Newton, learning about his amazing discoveries and why he’s such an important figure in science. Well done, Year 2!
👏 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.
