  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

Reception 'Stained Glass Windows'

As part of our learning about the Natvitiy story, we found out about the different features of a church. This included stained glass windows and we learned all about how they are made. We then made our own using black paper for the frames and added tissue paper for the 'glass'!

Puffins started the week reading the Stickman story, we then played with boxes and looked at the different sizes and some of us hid inside the boxes. The week finished with stick painting which turned to handpainting. We also had a little disco with bubbles and disco lights.

We did manage to fit in some maths, buliding towers and measuring the height of boxes with bricks.

Year 2 non-fiction writing

Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about the features of an information text. This week the children have been innovating our model text about unicorns to write sentences about trolls. 

Here are some examples of their work so far:

"Some trolls have smelly breath like a rotten fish, an ugly face and have teeth as yellow as corn."

"Some tiny trolls live under heavy rocks and some big trolls lift the heavy rocks for them."

 

We will share finished writing over the next few weeks.

The Puffins have enjoyed reading the story of The Tiger Who Came for Tea.  They have acted out the story using story maps, made tigers, made cakes as the tiger ate all the cakes. They have even made shopping lists of what they would need to buy if the tiger came to visit again!
