  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

An Autumn Adventure for Penguins!

Penguins have continued their learning about Autumn time this week by going on an Autumn walk around school to see what we could find. We took our 'Autumn checklists' with us and found lots of the items on the list. We were all disappointed not to see any squirrels this time!

Which foods did we think tasted the best? - Science in year 1

Year 1 have continued their learning all about our senses. This time they were exploring our sense of taste. They learnt that taste buds are cells on our tongues that allow us to perceive tastes, including sweet, salty, sour, bitter and savoury. The children decided that lemon tasted very sour on its own and was not very pleasant whilst chocolate was a firm favourite amongst most. The class were divided on marmite, either loving it or disliking it intensely!

Wrens have really enjoyed learning all about our senses during science. They have been exploring our sense of smell and trying to describe how different foods smell. They rated each food out of 10, with of course chocolate coming out as having the BEST smell ever!
