  A Note From Mr Thornes 
Hello all,
I'd like to offer you a warm welcome to our website. 
We've recently updated the site and it's now easier to navigate and reflects the principles of Livingstone very well.
We are a community school at Livingstone and we love to inspire the pupils, we celebrate our differences whenever possible. Our pupils have active minds, tons of enthusiasm and there's always a lot happening here. 
I'm really proud to be leading a fantastic team of staff and everyone is united in our effort to help every pupil improve and meet their potential. School life here is fun, stimulating, varied, rigorous but also above all enjoyable. 
Have a look about, or come and see us in action! 
 
Welcome to Livingstone...
 Mr Thornes

Visit to The Store

Visit to The Store

Recently, our Year 5 and 6 pupils took an exciting trip to a local shop called The Store as part of our sustainability project. Before the visit, the children completed research about the shop and prepared thoughtful questions to ask the owner. During their time there, they learned about how The Store sources products locally, reduces waste, and encourages eco-friendly practices. The pupils interviewed the owner to find out more about how the business operates sustainably and took lots of notes and footage. Back at school, they are now working on creating a video to share what they’ve learned and suggest new ideas for how we can make our own school more environmentally friendly. It was a fantastic learning experience that sparked lots of great ideas!

Penguins lift off!

Penguins have had a great time learning all about space this week. We learned all about the different planets of the solar system and the job of an astronaut. We also learned about different forces including push and pull, and how this relates to space travel (thrust and gravity). We made our own straw rockets and had a great time launching them on the playground!

Off on an adventure!

Parrots have enjoyed the class bus this week! They have loved pretending to be bus drivers and passengers, taking each other on adventures to the beach, the park and even up a mountain! It has been wonderful to see the children practise their social skills of asking for and paying for a bus ticket. Who knows where we will end up next?

Year 4 Visits Italy! A Journey of Discovery and Fun!

Year 4 had an exciting adventure as we "travelled" to Italy for the day! We started our journey by visiting the airport, complete with passports and boarding passes. Once we "arrived" in Italy, we explored its rich culture and traditions. One of the highlights was tasting delicious Italian foods – we tried juicy olives, creamy mozzarella, and crunchy breadsticks. It was a fun and tasty way to experience a new country without leaving school!

Puffins going on a Bear Hunt

The story this week is We are going on a bear hunt. The children loved the story and could retell it very well. We went on a walk around the playground going under bridges, over crates, through tunnels looking for the bear. He was hiding in the little house. 

Puffins had a great time.

Science fun in Woodpeckers

Woodpeckers have enjoyed leaning about friction through their topic on forces. They tested different surfaces and made predictions as to which surface would have the most and least friction. They then took their learning outside and experimented on further surfaces for themselves.
