Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

Today, our new School Council met for the first time this academic year. With representatives ranging from Year 2 to Year 6, the team came together full of enthusiasm and fresh ideas. They are excited to share their thoughts, represent their classmates and work together on ways to make Highfield an even better place for everyone. We can't wait to see what they achieve this year!

This week, 5T have been learning to use place value charts to find 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 more than a given number!

This week in 2H we have been exploring the term 'technology' in our Computing lessons. We had a walk around school, identifying different types of technology that we see and use everyday. 

Year 1 having lots of fun while learning and exploring numbers 0–10 using a range of hands-on manipulatives.

Our Year 5T scientists have been learning about asexual reproduction and how it can produce genetically identical organisms, known as clones. To put their learning into practice, the children tried to propagate a basil plant from a cutting. They carefully took a healthy cutting from the parent plant and have given it the conditions it needs to develop new roots and grow into a new plant. Through this investigation, we hope to discover that a new basil plant can be produced without seeds or fertilisation and that, because it comes from a single parent plant, it is genetically identical to the original plant. It was fantastic to see our young scientists putting their knowledge into action and we will enjoy watching their basil cuttings begin to grow!
