  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

Another busy Woodpecker Week!

This week Woodpeckers have been researching different rainforest animals. They used laptops to find their information, before organising and transferring it into a plan. In Maths, they showed that they could apply known multiplication and division facts to larger values, In Science, they learnt about how flowers are pollinated. This was reinforced with a game where the children took on the roles of bees and insects!

Year Six Kestrels - World Book Day

Kestrels had a fine time today turning our classroom upside down (literally)!  We used blankets to make reading dens to snuggle down and enjoy our books in.  Some impressive architectural skills and some very chilled quiet (if a little giggly) reading time!  We also shared a book as a class based on the Trojan Horse story from Ancient Greece.  A lovely day which was very well deserved at the end of a gruelling mock SATS week!  Well done Kestrels.

Mother Language Day Celebrations

On Friday, our assembly celebrated Mother Language Day - a day where we acknowledge and celebrate the amazing linguistic talents of our children.  It is a day to raise the profile of the languages that we speak at home.  We have an impressive number of home languages here at Livingstone from Malay to Swahili.  Our assembly show cased many of them and was followed by a peer-teaching activity on the playground where children had the opportunity to teach others some words or phrases in their language.  Many thanks to all the families who sent in videos for us to enjoy as a whole school.

Woodpeckers first week back

Woodpeckers first week back

Woodpeckers have had a very busy first week back. In Maths we have been thinking about different images we can use to represent a word problem. In English, we have begun to learn our new text 'The Great Kapok Tree' and have enjoyed discussions in small groups about the story and themes so far. In Art we studied parts of an image by using a view finder. We had to look very carefully at the detail within the area and draw it carefully into our art books.
