Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

The allotment area has grown so much over half term with the rain we have had. At gardening club this week we were weeding, putting staw under our strawberries to keep them clean and dry and planting seeds for the summer fair.

In 5E we made tzatziki as part of our DT cooking unit of work. We made flatbreads to taste it on and as you can see it was really delicious.

Year 6 had a great time this afternoon preparing themselves for orienteering on their residential to Marrick next week. The children have combined their PE teamworking skills along with geography. It has been an adrenaline filled afternoon of map reading! 

Years 1 and 2 were very  lucky to have some tennis coaching this morning from Paul from Roundhay Tennis Club. We had a lot of fun as you can see from the photos!

Today, we had a great visit from the West Yorkshire Fire Service, who came in to chat with our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. The firefighters began by talking about their role and the wide range of emergencies they respond to, including fires, road accidents, rescues, and flooding. They then moved on to teach the children all about fire safety and how to stay safe at home. The session covered common fire hazards like candles, overloaded plug sockets, and unattended cooking, helping the children understand what can cause a fire and how to prevent it. They also highlighted the dangers of lithium batteries in things like electric bikes, scooters, and even smartphones, especially when devices are left charging on beds or soft surfaces. The team shared useful tips on what to do in an emergency, the importance of smoke alarms, and how to make a fire escape plan with your family. The session was really interesting, and the children asked some brilliant questions. A big thank you to the fire crew for such an important and fun visit.
