Year 4 enjoyed making pizza in class on Tuesday. 

Over the last two weeks, Swifts and Swallows have been getting their art ready for the Livingstone art exhibition in the school hall!  The children have worked hard choosing their materials, matching colours and glueing create beautiful pictures of trees.

They are all very proud of their working and looking foward to showing off in front of the rest of the school later this week.

Please do come and look at their art during the BIg Tea on Wednesday! 

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 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!

The Puffins have enjoyed an indoor beach day. They have played with shredded paper. Had a go at crazy golf and  hook a duck had fun in the pool pit.

Year 6 have a fantastic few weeks preparing for their Leavers' Assembly, taking photos to remember their friends and getting ready for Year Six Enterprise.  They have been reflecting on their journey and sending thank yous to all who have been a part of their time at Livingstone.  They have been visiting their secondary schools too!  Excitement and anticpation is growing!

Year 6 have been busy preparing their Enterprise.  Their aim is to make their £10 grow!  Amazing stalls and games have been created for you to all enjoy as part of Big Tea 2 on Wedensday 17^th July at 3:20pm.  Year 6 will split their profits between funding their Year 6 Leaver's Party and a charity of their choice.  Take a look at their advertising on the lower playground. Please come along and support us!  Bring small change (no cards accepted!)

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.

Year 4 had the opportunity to practice their Spanish recently in the Spanish Cafe, whilst also enjoying a range of treats.

A huge thank you to everyone in Year 6 who helped organise ! 

Our last reading cafe of the year was attended by the most parents, grandparents and carers ever and we are so grateful for the support. The children really enjoyed having the opportunity to share and read stories both in our reading area and outside. Thank you to Mrs Lewis for organising everything and everyone who attended for making it such a succes. 

This week, we have started to learn about the seaside. The children have been keen to share their experiences and play in the role-play souvenir shop, deciding what they will need to take to the beach. 

Parrots have enjoyed learning about space! They have learnt all about the International Space Station, planets , and taken an imaginary journey through space on a rocket ship discovering planets, asteroids, all while looking for aliens!

The children have had great fun looking at patterns and designs from Ancient Egypt. They have sketched images and transferred them to painted backgrounds using pastels. All look fabulous and show how carefully the children have looked at the pictures presented to them.

The children thoroughly enjoyed their Sports Day and had lots of fun competing in their houses. The weather was gorgeous and all tried their very best. In the classroom, the children worked together to make their shadufs. These were used by Ancient Egyptians to get their water from the River Nile. The children had to work from their designs and problem solve, if needed, to complete their finished designs.

Woodpeckers enjoyed visiting the Spanish Cafe this week. They had to ask for their breakfast in Spanish, using the vocabulary they have learnt in class. They also enjoyed using compasses in Science to complete their work on Forces. In our topic work, we solved clues to find out about the famous archaeologist, Howard Carter.

We learned all about what happens in an election and some of the children in Penguins class created their own manifestos for what they would like to implement if they were in charge of Livingstone Primary School.

They had some great ideas, such as;

·       To tell people how to look after the world

·       Help people with their homework

·       More playing!

·       Make sure people play nicely

·       Learn about everything

·       Have more books in school

·       Bigger apparatus to play on outside

Everyone in the class had one vote for their favourite idea…

We had to create a coalition as two ideas both got 6 votes each. And the winners were… Mia and William!

Mia has promised to give everyone a party and William would like to introduce school pets!

Here they are (in the Head Teacher’s office already!)

The children in  Wagtails did a spectacular job designing and building their own model shaduf.  They had previously learnt about these important contraptions that pulled water from the Nile river to water the crops for the ancient Egyptians. 

Wagtails have recently come to the end of a science unit learning about different types of forces and how magnets work.  Part of this was to learn about how the earth has a magnetic field and how we can use that to navigate.  The children did very well in small groups following directions using compasses.

The children in Wagtails class have been learning about the 3 seasons that the ancient Egyptians lived by.  They learnt what the Egyptians did during these seasons and the different reasons that they were important.  They then made calendars that represented this information.

On Tuesday afternoon, year 2 had an amazing time at their sports day. It was lovely to see so many supportive parents braving the heat so that they could watch from the side lines! Extra special thanks to those who got involved in the parents race!

The teams worked their way around a series of athletics activities including throwing, long jump, side jumps, and bat and ball before finishing off with a long and short distance running race.

 Well done to all of our competitors!
