Year 5 – Tove Jansson illustrations

The Year 5 children have been creating studies from the Tove Jansson’s illustrations for ‘The Hobbit’. First, they lightly sketched out the outlines using a 2H pencil then used fineliners and brush pens to create the textures and tones in the style of the artist. Tom Johnson / Keith Siddle

Trip to Ashburnham Place

Year 5 had a fantastic day out at Ashburnham Place, enjoying a range of outdoor activities and learning experiences in a beautiful natural setting.

The day began with apple juice pressing, where pupils collected apples and used a traditional press to make their own delicious juice. They also took part in a fun woodland cooking session, making flatbreads and beetroot hummus – with many surprised at how tasty it was!

Another highlight was exploring woodland ecology, where children learned about the importance of biodiversity through looking at how the gall wasp affects the genetic makeup of an acorn. The session helped them understand how everything in nature is connected.

Throughout the trip, Year 5 showed great enthusiasm, teamwork, and curiosity. They represented the school brilliantly and came away with new skills and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Danny Parker

The quad fell silent this morning as the school came together for its annual Remembrance Day service.

Led by Mr Morgan-Jones, with heartfelt readings from Mrs O’Sullivan, four Pre-Prep pupils, and our Head Boy and Head Girl, we honoured all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service.

A British Royal Legion wreath was laid beneath the Oak tree, and another at the base of the Oliver Dicketts memorial tree — remembering Oliver (1979–2006), an Old Holmewoodian who gave his life while serving with NATO forces. Forever in our hearts.

We were honoured to welcome Oliver’s parents, Robert and Priscilla, and Alison and Clive Brown, whose son Tom — also an Old Holmewoodian — is currently serving in the Welsh Guards.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
