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 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!

This term's art unit has worked alongside the science unit, Earth and space. It has developed the childrens' skills evaluating images and creating art through various drawing processes, including collagraph printmaking. It has emphasised the development of pupils' independent artistic skills and their ability to generate, test, and refine ideas in their sketchbooks, leading to their final piece of artwork.

Year 5 had a fantastic trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester. The children enjoyed the galleries and interactive exhibitions and climbed the space tower that included viewing a rock taken from the surface of the moon. The highlight of the day was the guided tour of the Solar System in the Sir Patrick Moore Planitarium.

Woodpecker Class thoroughly enjoyed their resilience workshop this week. They thought about ways they could respond and react to different situations.

Woodpecker Class are so proud of the wonderful work they have been doing in Art and Topic with Cave Art. They looked at outlines of animals and then produced some lovely charcoal birds. This weeek they are enjoying creating wall art of their own and have even been busy playing 'The Stone Age' at playtimes.

This week Puffins are reading the story Room on the Broom. We are dressing up as witches, flying on our broom sticks and making potions with coloured water.
A fun week to end the term.

Wagtails have used porridge oats to recreate realistic cave textures in Art lessons ready to paint their stone age art! Watch this space!
Wagtails were lucky enough to attend a mult-sports event last Tuesday. They participated in various sports including tag rugby and goalball! What a wonderful way to spend the morning!
Wrens have been interested in learning more about our immediate vicinity. They used Google Earth to locate the United Kingdom, England, Bedford and our school. They then made maps of the classroom and outside play area to identify different features.

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!

Parrots loved putting their maths learning into practice by creating fruit patterns. We then used our senses to describe the fruit as we ate it, using words such as juicy, soft, sweet, and bitter.
For Black History Month, Year 1 have been learning about the importance of celebrating Black History Month and learning about Rosa Parks and how she made a difference.

Woodpeckers and Wagtails have been lucky enough to have the opportunity this term to play an intrument called the toot. We have been busy practising each week and have made lots of progress already. We hope to be able to show you how well we can play as we continue to enjoy our weekly sessions throughout the term.

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 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!

This term's art unit has worked alongside the science unit, Earth and space. It has developed the childrens' skills evaluating images and creating art through various drawing processes, including collagraph printmaking. It has emphasised the development of pupils' independent artistic skills and their ability to generate, test, and refine ideas in their sketchbooks, leading to their final piece of artwork.

Year 5 had a fantastic trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester. The children enjoyed the galleries and interactive exhibitions and climbed the space tower that included viewing a rock taken from the surface of the moon. The highlight of the day was the guided tour of the Solar System in the Sir Patrick Moore Planitarium.

Woodpecker Class are so proud of the wonderful work they have been doing in Art and Topic with Cave Art. They looked at outlines of animals and then produced some lovely charcoal birds. This weeek they are enjoying creating wall art of their own and have even been busy playing 'The Stone Age' at playtimes.

A fun week to end the term.

Wagtails have used porridge oats to recreate realistic cave textures in Art lessons ready to paint their stone age art! Watch this space!
Wagtails were lucky enough to attend a mult-sports event last Tuesday. They participated in various sports including tag rugby and goalball! What a wonderful way to spend the morning!
Wrens have been interested in learning more about our immediate vicinity. They used Google Earth to locate the United Kingdom, England, Bedford and our school. They then made maps of the classroom and outside play area to identify different features.

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!

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!

Parrots loved putting their maths learning into practice by creating fruit patterns. We then used our senses to describe the fruit as we ate it, using words such as juicy, soft, sweet, and bitter.
For Black History Month, Year 1 have been learning about the importance of celebrating Black History Month and learning about Rosa Parks and how she made a difference.

On Wednesday 16th Octover we walked along Clapham Road to visit St Martin's Church. We split into 4 groups and we were shown around the different areas of the church. The children listened carefully and asked questions about what they saw. They made links with what they have been learning in RE.

Woodpeckers and Wagtails have been lucky enough to have the opportunity this term to play an intrument called the toot. We have been busy practising each week and have made lots of progress already. We hope to be able to show you how well we can play as we continue to enjoy our weekly sessions throughout the term.

We learned all about our senses during our topic of Autumn and we had a great time exploring our sense of taste! We made fruit kebabs by carefully cutting fruit and adding it to skewers before tasting them. We could tell Mrs Bliss our favourite fruits - lots of us said we loved them all!
