Livingstone Primary School

Welcome to Penguins!

This half term we will be learning about journeys, transport, space and holidays!

For the next two weeks we will be travelling the world! We will be learning about Bedford and our local area before comparing it to countries in Africa as well as the polar regions. We will be learning lots of facts about different places as well as exploring stories and music from these places. We will also be doing experiments around melting and freezing as well as continuing to consolidate our learning from this year in Maths.

As always, we love to hear about what you have been doing outside school. Please let us know what interesting things you have been up to using our class email penguinsandparrots@gmail.com

We are very pleased with how our indoor provision is looking! We are continuing to improve it to make it the best environment for Penguins to learn in!

PE and Dance will be on WEDNESDAYS and FRIDAYS. The children will be expected to come to school in their PE kits on these days.

Please also send a spare set of uniform and underwear to keep in school.

Your child may bring their own bottle to school (water only!)

PLEASE NAME EVERY ITEM OF YOUR CHILD'S CLOTHING AND BELONGINGS!

We had so much fun celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!

We had a great time when Ark Farm visited! We loved meeting all of the friendly animals.

Please also help us to help the children by reinforcing the sounds being taught at school. Phonics is the method by which we teach reading and writing. Here are some videos which demonstrate the correct pronunciations.
