Evenings at Holmewood: homework, hot chocolate, and a lot of laughter ☕📚
Boarders gather for supper, finish prep together, and fill the common rooms with laughter. From games and music to bedtime chats and shared hot chocolate, every night reminds us that home is the people you share it with.

DT & Engineering Highlights
It is always lovely when projects come together after weeks of hard work. Just some of the finished projects to come out of DT & Engineering last term were:
- Year 6`s Dragsters: children designed and printed their dragsters from an original template (with lots modifying them) and then raced them which they found was an acquired skill!
- Year 6 also completed their softwood box project that involved attempting to master the dovetail and finger joint from wood. The final boxes were polished using Briwax.
- Year 5 have been prototyping using cardboard techniques this term and completed their cardboard cameras.
- as a way of learning about wind turbines, Year 4 experimented with different materials and propellers to try and catch the wind and see how much current they could generate. They then made a whirlygig to further understand turbines, that self-adjust to point in the direction of the wind.
- Year 7 made battery powered cars. They started by designing in cardboard before constructing their prototypes in wood. They needed to understand the micro switch and solder together the circuit, before adding pulleys to the motor and the axle.
Congratulations on a busy and productive term, and on developing an incredible range of design and engineering skills!
