Year 4 have been working really hard on their descriptive writing this week, including using personification. They used their descriptive techniques to create some fabulous writing of a rambling isle in our book Oliver and the Seawigs. E Gorin
The Year 4s have been studying the colourful and vibrant abstract circle paintings by the artist Sonia Delaunay. Drawing around a variety of templates including lids, cups and bowls pupils created simple circle shapes and concentric circles, before using lines to divide up the shapes and to create imaginative compositions. Finally, pupils added watercolours, colour pencils and pens to complete their dynamic abstract pictures. Tom Johnson / Keith Siddle
👏 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.
