Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and father figures in our community, From Everyone at Highfield.

Millers Ark have been visiting our younger children today. We loved meeting Moon - the donkey who was stolen from and thankfully returned to Miller's Ark last year. Our children learnt about the different animals and had a chance to stroke the goats, pigs and donkeys.

Our school representatives joined the mayor for the schools D-Day celebrations in Farnham Town last week for the 80th anniversary of D-Day landings.

Coming Soon! Summer Travelling Book Fair. Look out for more information.

Year 1 have been learning how to make whole, half, three-quarter and quarter turns. The children worked in groups and were directing their peers on how to make the turns. They would then work as a team to make sure everyone understood the different turns.

4M have benefited from the expertise of three swimming instructors every Thursday afternoon. They have been developing their swimming technique through weekly lessons at Farnham Leisure Centre.

Year 3 have been working hard trying to find equivalent fractions, using fractions walls to help them.

Well done to all the Year 6 children in @SFETrust schools for completing their SATs. You have all worked so hard and we are proud of all of you. @SouthFarnham @raleigh_school

1S have been saying hello to Highfield's special guests this week.

5O recently performed their class assembly all about rivers, volcanoes and endangered species. The children were proud of their posters, bringing attention to some amazing endangered animals. We could not be prouder of the children for their performance.

Year 3 have been creating 3D shapes! Some of the children have been creative and made new class pets out of 3D shapes.

It’s been another very busy week in Reception. The children have learnt about different lifecycles, starting with the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They looked at each stage of the lifecycle of a butterfly, and applied our learning to our writing.

What an amazing visit from Matty Long! The children heard about life as an illustrator/author and had a great time learning how to draw some of the Super Happy Magic Forest characters. We can't wait for the stories to hit the TV later this year! Thank you @Matty_Long
