  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 6 - The Yellow Spotted Lizard!

Year Six are hooked on their class reader: Holes by Louis Sacher.  We have created text maps to represent all the information about the incredible venomous lizards living in desert.  The classes have done a great job using scientific, geographical and a formal tone to inform their audiences about the lizard.  They are now having a lot of fun inventing their own animal: The Wabub.  We will keep you posted on their progress and their next piece of writing!

Puffins followed the Yellow Brick Road

The Puffins followed the yellow brick road like in the story of Wizard of Oz.  We pretended to be scarecrows, tinmen and lions. We made some red shoes, printed our own yellow roads and finished with playing musical instructments in our band.

On the way we stopped to celebrate Lunar New Year. We made dragons and had a dragon dance.

What a busy week.

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.
