Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

In 2H, we have been exploring the addition of three numbers. We are trying to remember that finding number bonds to 10 and doubles, will help us when the addition is tricky.

This week, Year 4 have been having lots of fun learning all about Roman numerals in Maths! The children have thoroughly enjoyed getting hands-on with practical activities, playing exciting games and putting their knowledge to the test. A particular highlight has been learning and singing the Roman Numeral Song, which has quickly become a firm favourite! It has been wonderful to see so much enthusiasm and enjoyment in our Maths lessons!

Attached is the match report of the Highfield v St Theresa's football match. 

We were delighted to welcome pupils from other local primary schools for a special Winter Voices choir rehearsal! It was wonderful to see so many choirs coming together, sharing their enthusiasm for music and working as one. The children practised their songs, developed their singing skills and experienced the excitement of performing alongside pupils from other schools. The hall was filled with beautiful singing as everyone worked hard to prepare for the upcoming Winter Voices performance. A fantastic afternoon of music, teamwork and collaboration. We can't wait to hear everyone singing together again!

5T had a visit from Richard who led a fascinating World War II workshop, discovering what life was like during the war. We listened to incredible stories about wartime spies, secret missions and the dangers faced by ordinary people. We learned about rationing, gas masks, air raids and the important role of ARP wardens, as well as some of the extraordinary ways people helped the war effort. We also had the opportunity to see examples of wartime weaponry and discovered how different weapons were used during the conflict. Some of the weapons had unusual names like 'pig sticker', 'smelly' and 'pineapple'! We even had a go at playing 'Eights', a popular wartime card game, and marbles where we beat Richard's previous personal best with a trick shot that earned us half a point! We absolutely loved it!
