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

In Swallows, we joined in the the BBC live lesson and did a shared read. The children selected a book and found a comfortable position to read and enjoy their book. They also had a go at some activities related to George's Marvellous Medicine.

We have been really enjoying our Maths work so far this term. We have done lots of practical activities to help us develop our understanding of numbers to 10.

Our Year 4 students are having a fantastic time exploring different careers today!
They’ve been inspired by a variety of professionals.
A huge thank you to all the visitors who have shared their knowledge and passion.
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!

In Maths, we have been learning about sequencing a set of instructions. Parrots had great fun telling Miss Caherty how to make a sandwich and watching her make silly mistakes. They then got to enjoy eating a yummy jam sandwich.

We have had a great morning with Maths Cafe first thing; we learn some new games, played some familiar ones and welcomed lots of parents. We then took part in our first activity for Science Week with a fantastic live lesson on 'Reptiles Uncovered: adaptions, habitats and survival'. We will be finishing the day with PE and Spanish. A huge well done to all of Kestrels class for their hard work with our Mock SATS. Awesome effort and attitude shown by all!

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.

We had a great time on World Book Day! We wore our pyjamas and read lots and lots of stories! We brought our own books to school and really enjoyed sharing them with our friends.
We also did lots of other activities including a 'Book Scavenger Hunt' and a book review.
A particular highlight was reading a bedtime story and having cocoa and a biscuit at the end of the day!

This half term, year 2 will be learning the story of Kassim and the greedy dragon. This is our model text that the children will use to write their own story. See if your child can use this story map to retell the story.
This week we have been learning how to divide by 2.

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 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.
