Our Nursery children have been enjoying lots of outdoor learning this September!

Starting with Forest School play inspired by one of our favourite stories, The Gruffalo’s Child. 📚

From bubbles and autumnal water play to messy play and natural resources, the children have been exploring their senses, practising filling and pouring, problem solving and enjoying plenty of child led play. 🍁🫧

Art that looks good enough to eat!

Year 6 have been inspired by American pop artist Wayne Thiebaud, exploring tone, texture and observational drawing to create their own delicious looking cake artwork! 🎂
Next, they’ll be bringing their creations to life by sculpting cakes in clay. We can’t wait to see the results!

Throwback Thursday 🎶

We’re heading back to 2007 and a very special musical moment in Highfield history!

After finishing as runners up the previous year, Miss Macklam entered the Highfield choir into the Lancashire Evening Post ‘Mikin Music’ Competition once again.

Performing ‘Showdown Hoe Down’ from the previous summer play, our talented pupils went one better and won the competition! 🏆🎤

The choir was then invited to perform at Preston Minster as part of the LEP Carol Service.

When news of the win reached school, huge cheers could be heard throughout the corridors... perfectly pitched, of course! 🎵

What a wonderful Highfield memory! 💙

💛 Kindness Counts in Reception! 💛

Our Reception children have been working very hard to fill their Kindness Jar, with every kind word, thoughtful gesture and helpful act bringing them a little closer to their goal.

This week, they did it! 🎉 The children were so excited to see their jar full!

It has been wonderful to see our youngest pupils learning that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference. 🌟

Well done, Reception!

Recycling Week♻️

Preschool have explored different materials and talked about how they can be recycled and reused. We looked at recycling symbols on packaging and discussed why recycling is important for looking after our environment and our future. 🌍

We also discovered that our playground flooring is made from recycled tired, helping us understand how old materials can be given a new purpose. The children enjoyed sharing their ideas and learning how they can help care for our planet. ♻️

Year 2 have been learning all about the inspirational artist Alma Thomas and celebrated Alma Thomas Day part of their work.

They have loved discovering her distinctive use of bold, vibrant colours and patterns before taking inspiration from her incredible artwork to create colourful pieces of their own! 🖌️✨

A wonderful opportunity to explore a remarkable artist while encouraging plenty of creativity in the classroom.
