Dear Parents/Carers, 

School will close for all children on Friday 21^stDecember 2018.

As this is the end of term, home dinners will be collected at normal time but there will be no Friday club so all children who stay for dinner will need to be collected at 1pm.
School will reopen for the Spring term on Tuesday 8^thJanuary 2019 at 8:45am. 

On behalf of everyone at Highfield School, I wish those of you who are celebrating Christmas a very Merry Christmas and wish those of you who do not celebrate, a very relaxing break. 

Enjoy the holiday and Happy New Year to you all. Thank you for your continued support this term.

Mr.  Knibbs 
Head of School

Year 1 have a very exciting day planned on Thursday 20^thDecember for their WOW day. The classrooms are going to transform into Elf Workshops and throughout the day they will be joining in with a range of Christmas activities including arts, crafts and baking.

The children are therefore able to come to school dressed as elves and do not need to wear their school uniform.If your child does not have an elf/Christmassy outfit please send them in a red or green t-shirt and we will make elf hats/ears etc. for them to wear during the WOW day. 

We are looking forward to a day of fun and celebration with the children!
Ms Chatterley and the Y1 team  

Throughout the autumn term, Year 4 have been studying the Romans in their Learning for Life lessons. As the term is now coming to an end, we would like to celebrate the children’s learning in an art themed WOW day on Tuesday 11^thDecember 2018, where the children will participate in a number of Roman themed art lessons that will help the children to immerse themselves into this topic one last time. 

There will be no charge for this experience but all that we ask is that your child brings in a piece of cardboard, about the size of a cereal box, so that they can create a Roman shield. The WOW day will take place on school grounds and will follow the same times as a regular school day.

We are also inviting the children to dress up in traditional Roman clothing for the day and it would add to the excitement of the day if your child could join in. We have given you some examples below as inspiration. If your child is not coming in Roman clothing they should wear their full school uniform.

If you have any questions, please see your child’s class teacher.

Yours faithfully,
The Year 4 Team

Please could you bring these to the Junior Hall, if your child is in KS2, or the Infant Hall if your child is in reception or KS1 on the 7^thDecember when you drop off your children in the morning. We appreciate your support with this.
