A huge well done to our Year 4 pupils for their fantastic performance of Gladis Baker, Gladiator! 🎭
There were plenty of laughs as the Great Roman Bake Off came to life, with ambitious bakers, a demanding Emperor and more than a few baking disasters along the way!
Despite this …week's warm weather, they took to the stage with enthusiasm and plenty of smiles, delivering a performance they should be incredibly proud of. It was a joy to watch them perform as an ensemble, with every child playing their part in keeping the story moving and making each other shine. A fantastic team effort Year 4! 👏

Throwing it back to last Thursday, when Year 2 swapped the classroom for the coast and became geographers for the day 🌊
Their first challenge was to build a line of sandcastles and see what the tide would do. They then explored the coastline, listened to the skylarks in the dunes and …created beach art inspired by Andy Goldsworthy (swipe to see!)
As they shared observations and worked things out collaboratively, they were doing what geographers do best: asking questions about the world around them!

Moving Up Day has arrived!
From meeting new teachers and friends to exploring different classrooms, there was plenty of excitement as our children spent the day in their new year groups. Looking ahead to September, children reflected on the qualities, strengths and interests that make them… who they are and the part they will play in their classes.
It was also a pleasure to welcome new families and boarders to the Highfield community!
Roll on September 🙌🏼
