Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

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!

"Where the place? Upon the heath!" 6G had a fantastic time yesterday using our drama skills to learn about the story of 'The Scottish Play' - Macbeth. We demonstrated superb oracy techniques and were able to express ourselves freely throughout the day. It was great fun, a huge thanks to the Northern Arts Company. 

Year 1 had a terrific Tuesday following instructions to make shortbread biscuits, they were very yummy!

Highfield got their season underway today with a mighty 1-4 win against Wigton Moor. It was a proud moment for these Year Six pupils as they have waited a long time to pull on the Highfield jersey. Great performances were evident  throughout the team. Congratulations to Hamza Dogan for a fine hat-trick!
