This week Year 4 created their river for their book based on The Tree and the River by Aaron Becker. They had to work together to ensure the individual sections met up so the river (story) flows. They looked at how and to what effect, the illustrator uses colour, light and the changing seasons. They then selected colours for the five sections of their storyline and made rubbings of different textures to create the background for their story pages. Catherine Duncumb
Senior librarians George, Alicia, Delilah, Lottie and Sofia shared their recommended reads with Years 7 and 8 during reading for pleasure time on Tuesday morning. Their brief was to introduce pupils to material they might not be aware of in the library. “It was good to see people trying books I like reading.” Catherine Duncumb
Pupils enjoyed a vibrant taste of the Caribbean on Wednesday, led by our Global Ambassadors: Pelumi and Joshua in Year 8, and Annabelle in Year 6.
Break time brought a burst of colour and creativity to the Learning Hub, with a range of lively activities. Annabelle shared her knowledge of Barbados and designed an exciting quiz about the island for all pupils to test their knowledge. Pupils also got stuck into carnival mask-making, island beach-building, designing a
Caribbean flag, and a lively game of scuba diving “hook a fish out of the Caribbean Sea.” A brilliant day all round and thank you to all involved for making the day so enjoyable.
🌟 Where 32 acres open a world of possibilities 🌟
Holmewood House is redefining what a future‑ready prep school looks like, equipping every child with the skills that matter most: digital literacy, creativity, critical thinking, and a genuine love of learning.
With exceptional academic rigour, outstanding scholarship success, and pupils progressing to their top Senior Schools of choice, our ambition is matched only by our care for the whole child.
As Head Ruth O’Sullivan says, “If you want a school where your child is celebrated as an individual, and future ready for whatever next is going to come in the world, Holmewood is the place for you”.
But don’t just take our word for it, come and see the school for yourself at our Open Morning on Friday 15th May (book your place - link in bio).
In the meantime, we’re excited to share our new school film (link in bio), offering a glimpse into the world of possibilities found at Holmewood.
