Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

Year 1 - Today we looked at toys that older grandparents might have played with.  Many toys were made from wood or metal, these toys didn’t need batteries or electricity. Lots of children made their own toys with help from their parents, like sock puppets or simple wooden toys.

This week 6G worked collaboratively to create a profile of a mountaineer. We combined our writing lessons with our geography lessons and had a super time! 

This afternoon, our wonderful choir brought Christmas joy to Alderbrook Care Home with their beautiful carol singing, filling the air with festive cheer. The children and residents also bonded over Christmas crafts, creating colourful baubles to adorn the care home’s tree. Handcrafted Christmas cards, filled with heartfelt wishes, were shared, spreading warmth and joy between generations. The visit was a heartwarming celebration of community spirit, leaving everyone with cherished memories.

In 2H, we have been exploring sides and vertices in 2D shapes. We used triangles to make our own shapes, then labelled the vertices carefully. We made some very interesting 2D shapes!

Today in English, 6BH began their collaborative writing projects. Working in pairs, they researched and planned biographies on either Junko Tabei or Nirmal Purja, both renowned mountaineers. The students showcased excellent teamwork, actively listening to one another's ideas and dividing tasks effectively. Later this week, they will present their findings and reflect on how well they collaborated as a pair.
