Livingstone Primary School
Welcome to Wrens
Mrs White, Mrs Layal and Mrs Hyso would like to welcome you to year 1 and Wrens.
In year 1 there are many opportunities for children to learn through play and exploration. These opportunities are linked to our adult-led teaching sessions and follow the National Curriculum. We want to encourage children to ask questions, use their problem solving and reasoning skills and seek answers and ultimately foster a love of learning that will continue throughout their life.
