  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

The children in Puffins have been doing their own experiments this week. They have been mixing, pouring, measuring and counting. 

We made chocolate cakes at the start of the week and we talked about how the chocolate started off hard and when we heated it up it melted and went soft.

We made Jelly and we said it felt cold and slimey.

Today we put mento mints into a bottle of fizzy cola to find out what wou;ld happen. We made a volcano. The screams from the children said it all. They thought it was great.
