  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

Year 4 using micro:bits

Year 4 have been practicing programming a micro:bit device. 

A micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors and many input/output features that you can program and physically interact with.

Parrots and Penguins learn how to keep their teeth clean!

Parrots and Penguins were very excited to have a visit from a Dental hygienist. She told them they need to brush our teeth twice a day, using small circular motions. They then played a game, looking at which food and drink items are good or bad for their teeth. All of the children recieved a goodie bag with a new toothbrush, tooth paste and a two minute timer.
