Highfield Year 4

“This… is democracy… manifest!” Today we voted in class for our next school leadership roles - results announced tomorrow! Well done to everyone who put themselves forward and gave a speech. #democracy #leadership

@howie_hua 95 subtract 30 is 65, then add 2 to get 67 👌

It's Mental Math Monday! What goes on in your head when you're mentally calculating 95-28?

Thrilled to welcome my new Year 4s today! I hope everyone had a lovely Summer break - we have a busy and exciting term ahead!

To mark the end of Diversity Week 2023, we have come to school in vibrant rainbow colours! We have enjoyed celebrating how unique and special we are this week. #diversityweek

One of our prizes from the Summer Fair was a PJ Day, so today the girls came in looking comfier and cosier than ever. (I promise we still got lots of learning done though!)

@HighfieldPrep @chatsworthschls @8billionideas @hsw_school Good luck girls! We're rooting for you 😊

Very excited to be on our way to the Chatsworth Ideas FINAL. @chatsworthschls @8billionideas @hsw_school

Activity Week Day 4: To finish off our Thursday we have been working in teams to create weather-proof shelters, followed by some good old marshmallow-toasting over the campfire. We can’t believe we have to come home tomorrow! #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

@highfieldyear1 @HighfieldYear3 @HighfieldYear5 @HighfieldYear6 Classroom invaders! You all look very interested in our whiteboard...

@HighfieldYear3 @HighfieldYear4 @HighfieldYear5 @HighfieldYear6 Well, how cheeky! 😊

Being the only year group left in school (due to #HighfieldActivityWeek2023) has its benefits! Can you spot where we explored today? @HighfieldYear4 @HighfieldYear5 @HighfieldYear6

Activity Week Day 4 continued... Learning kayaking skills and exploring some very tight and very dark tunnels! Bit of a challenge but everybody rose to it marvellously 😁 #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

Activity Week Day 4: We are exploring the rugged coastline of Westward Ho! It's taking all our balancing skills and lots of teamwork to navigate across this rocky terrain but we have found some really cool stuff 😎 #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

Activity Week Day 3 cont: a lookout walk with @HighfieldYear5. Behind us you can see the beautiful Skern the lodge is named after. What a brilliant day. More tomorrow! #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

Activity Week Day 3: Skern Lodge! We've arrived safely and are currently navigating assault courses and riding zip lines! Definitely a little nerve-wracking but we are all being very brave and having a go 😁 #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

Activity Week Day 2 - Twickenham! We have enjoyed touring this iconic stadium, visiting the museum and then working in teams to design our own stadiums. A brilliant trip with @HighfieldYear3 #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

Activity Week Day 1! We made some feathery friends, played a brilliant game of rounders with @HighfieldYear5 , bounced along the air track and played some team building games in the garden. Lots of fun and more to come. #HighfieldActivityWeek2023

@highfieldyear1 @HighfieldYear2 Am suddenly feeling very nostalgic for my old Nokia 3310 😁

Year 4 are putting their engineering skills to the test today as they try to create the tallest tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows! Teamwork and ingenuity are definitely on display today. 😲 #STEMeducation #engineering #memorablemoments

We are flexing our entrepreneurial muscles and working collaboratively to create prototypes for this summer's hottest new toys! @8billionideas #chatsworthideas2023 #amazingideas #STEMeducation #girlsinsteam #problemsolving #engineering #youngentrepreneurs

Check out these amazing board games Year 4 have made in Engineering! Lots of ingenious technical features like pulleys, conveyor belts, levers and lift arms - looks like they had a lot of fun making them too😁 @HighfieldHead #youngengineers #girlsinSTEM #creativelearning

We had some fun today exploring how different instruments create high and low sounds - AKA pitch. It's all to do with frequency of vibrations! We even got to try Mr B's very shiny electric guitar - rock on! 🤘🎸 #youngscientists #girlsinSTEM #handsonlearning #practicalscience

What a brilliant and magical day with @HighfieldYear3. We saw some amazing things, including a close-up look at some of the incredible art, engineering and even robotics behind our favourite films. @wbtourlondon #harrypotter #magic #STEM
