  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 5 - Sports Leaders Training

Hawks and Herons classes both participated in Sports Leadership training at the end of last week.  We were very lucky and had Mr Alker from Bedford Borough School Sport Partnership come in on Thursday and Friday to teach the children how to be effective leaders and coaches.  The children will now have opportunities to use these skills when working with the younger year groups throughout their time in year 5 and also in year 6.

Year 5 at the Biddenham STEAM fair

Year 5 were lucky enough to attend the Biddenham STEAM (Science, Technology, Art, Maths) fair earlier this week. We walked down to Biddenham in time to have lunch in their canteen. After this, we split into groups to participate in various activites such as designing an electronic game and testing speed and strength. Finally, we went into the hall for a presentation where we won best project for our 'Blooming Flower'. We were thrilled to have won and we had a brilliant time joining in with different tasks - it really was great fun all round.

Kingfishers Start with Art!

Year 6 have made a fabulous start to this year's first Art topic (Make My Voice Hard): researching Mexican artist Diego Rivera and sharing knowledge of Mayan Culture from Year 5. Pupils also began working on their sketch pages and just look at some of the exceptional detail that they included...impressive or what?! They gathered various items: including cotton buds, feathers, pompoms, lolly sticks and more, to experiment with expressive mark-making, using ink. It was a fun-packed lesson and taught us all a lot! :)

Penguins at the seaside!

Penguins enjoyed lots of 'seaside' activities for Livingstone by the Sea. Even though it was a little too chilly for swimming, we still enjoyed playing in paddling pools full of balls and paper! We also played in the sand, enjoyed 'hook a duck', created our own puppet shows, made our own bracelets, did some 'sand' art work...and the crazy golf was a big hit! 

We also enjoyed some delicious food including our fish and chip lunch and ice cream from the ice cream van!

Year 6 Kestrels - History

Year 6 have been studying the Ancient Greeks.  They have fully immersed themselves in the topic through whole class teaching, independent research and by exploring our non-fictions books.  Year 6 Kestrels made their own Power Points which they presented to the Year 5 Hawks.  It was wonderful to see them sharing their knowledge with such enthusiasm.  We finished the day with a whole quiz which Kestrels had created as part of their ICT lessons.  Thanks for sharing our learning with us Year 5 Hawks!
