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...

News
Livingstone through the years
In Year 2 history this week, the children have been exploring what school life was like during the Victorian era and how education has evolved over the decades. They were fascinated by old photographs of Livingstone when it was known as Clapham Road School, including images dating back to the early 1900s. The children loved examining the differences in classrooms, uniforms, and playgrounds, sparking lively discussions about how much has changed—and what has stayed the same!

CO2 Awareness
Children recently enjoyed an engaging and educational workshop led by Jodie from the Safety Awareness Centre, focusing on carbon monoxide (CO) safety. Through interactive activities and lively discussion, Jodie helped pupils understand the dangers of CO and where it might be found in the home. Each child received a goody bag filled with fun resources and, most importantly, a carbon monoxide detector to help keep their families safe.
Autumn Fun in Reception
We have been learning all about the season of Autumn in Reception. For our homework we went and collected Autumn items we found in natures and have had great fun exploring these in the provision.
We have learned the names of lots of Autumn items and talked about the changes that happen in this season. We read a story all about our senses and used our own senses to experience the outdoors in Autumn by going on an Autumn walk around the school grounds!

Amazing artwork in Woodpeckers
The children are really enjoying learning about the Stone Age. This week we have been looking in further detail at cave art - why the pictures were drawn and what materials were used. The children looked at some sketches and drew them in their art books. The results were amazing!

One Love in Reception!
To celebrate Black History Month, Reception have really enjoyed a unit of work all about the life of Bob Marley.
We learned all about his life and works and the impact he had on music and the wider world. We learned to sing the songs '3 Little Birds' and 'One Love' and talked about the meanings behind the songs. We decorated our own birds and wrote things that make us happy on them.
We also learned all about Bob Marley's homeland of Jamaica and decorated our own Jamaican flags using collage techniques and took a trip to Jamaica in the role play area!

What a week in Woodpeckers
This week we have been very busy in Woodpeckers. Not only have we had fun investigating 3 digit numbers, we have also been investigating what Stone Age people ate. We then went into the playground as hunter gathers to find food our tribe needed to stay alive.

Year 1 taste testing in science
Year 1 had a great afternoon taste testing different foods as part of their science learning all about our senses. They learnt about how our taste buds work and described how different foods tasted. Not many were keen on the taste of the sour bitter lemon but the chocolate was definitely popular and described as sweet and yummy!

Learning about materials in Penguins
As part of our learning about The Three Little Pigs, we learned all about different types of materials. We then sorted different items and named the materials.
Penguins and Parrots are telling tales!
We have been learning about houses and homes so far this term and we read the story of The Three Little Pigs. We really enjoyed role playing the story in the provision and we also created a story map as a class to help us retell the story to an adult!

Nutrition in Science year 3
Wagtails investigated the nutrition of different foods in science. We looked at packaging and interpreted the 'traffic light' symbols to find out whether the food was a healthy choice or an occasional snack.
Investigating Stone Age diets - Hunters and Gatherers
Tuesday 30th September
Wagtails Class became real-life archaeologists for the afternoon. Children were given 'Stone Age poo' and had to dissect it to see the diets of early Stone Age people. From the activity, children found out that these particular Stone Age people ate lots of grains, berries, nuts, seeds and fish. Fascinatiung stuff!
Teeth-tastic Experiments!
In Science, year 4 have been conducting experiments to find out the effects certain drinks have on our teeth. Don't worry no children's teeth were used in this lesson!
Egg were placed in the different drinks and allowed to sit for three days. The results could be teeth chattering!
Year 4 Make Biscuits in DT
In Year 4 pupils carefully followed a recipe to make their own tasty treats, learning important skills along the way. Over the next few weeks, they will be reviewing their biscuits, thinking about what worked well and what could be improved. Soon, they will have the exciting challenge of adapting the recipe to create their very own unique versions!
