Important Information
PE will be on Tuesdays and Fridays. Children must have a school PE uniform. This comprises of a Livingstone t-shirt, dark shorts or tracksuit bottoms. Anyother sportswear is discouraged - we want the children to have pride in our school, particularly if they represent us at sporting events. If there is any reason why you cannot get a school PE kit, please speak to us and we will try to help.
Spellings are handed out on Friday and tested on the following Friday.
Children will have homework 3 x a week up until Christmas. Homework will be set on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (4 pages Monday and Wednesday, 6 on a Friday). All homework is linked to preparation for SATs.
Children are expected to read daily.
All pupils should bring in their own water bottle each day, filled with fresh water (no squash!)
Pencil cases are permitted, but please make sure all items are labelled.
Avoid HUGE school bags - our corridor is very tight for space.
