Livingstone Primary & Nursery School WK1 SEP 2021

Luca drew an amazing set of pictures, all about the sea! He included a shark, a whale, an octopus and a boat - and he could name everything he drew. Great work, Luca!

Ben is painting a beautiful butterfly. He is making sure he paints the same pattern on each wing because he knows it must be symmetrical. Excellent work, Ben!

It has been a very busy week in Kingfisher Nursery and a pleasure to welcome back our returning pupils as well as meet the new members of our class. The children have been settling in beautifully and exploring the indoor and outdoor learning spaces and having lots of fun!

We have made the most of the lovely sunny days and spent lots of time in the playground and the outdoor classroom. The children have also enjoyed letting off steam in soft play and keeping cool in the pond area.

A fabulous first full week, well done everyone!

This week's awards go to Phoebe for settling in to Reception brilliantly and Jack for always following instructions and doing the right thing.

ear 2 have had a wonderful first week back at school. They have really impressed us with their positive attitude and hard work already! In maths we have started work on tens and ones and have been using many practical resources to help us. We have been showing numbers in many different representations with dienes, numicon and tens frames and the children have great knowledge of this.

In the afternoons we have started with PHSE focusing on our likes, dislike and how to deal with different situations. This week we all made glitter bottles and discussed how these can be used in different situations to calm down when we are feeling sad, angry or upset. We all really enjoyed shaking the bottles and watching the glitter float to the top or bottom!

Keep up the great work Y2 and we look forward to meeting parents/carers on Monday 20th for meet the teacher.

This weeks achievements go to Eva and Ryan for always trying their best and having such a positive attitude towards their work.

Year 3 have settled in incredibly well and we are very impressed with their attitude and behaviour.

This week the children have worked very hard completing a range of assessments in Maths and English. We have spent our afternoons focusing on PSHE. Together, we have spent time discussing why it is important to treat each other with respect and how we can do the right thing in the classroom and outside. We even made a display to explain how we can control our eruptions based on the book 'My Mouth is a Volcano.'

This week's awards goes to Ravi for modelling excellent behaviour and Lukas for demonstrating his determination and perseverance to complete tasks when they became a little tricky.

The children in Year 5 have had a brilliant first week back, impressing myself and Mr Thomas with their hard work, behaviour and personality.

They completed their start-of-year assessments and began learning about alternative tellings of traditional fairy-tales from the villains' points of view. In PSHE, they learned about different types of relationships and how to deal with and resolve problems; they also learned about discrimination and how to deal with it if they witness or experience it.

Please can I remind parents that our trip to Lea Valley Park is on the 23rd September. If you haven't given permission and paid for your child to go, please can you do so - thank you!

This week's awards go to Qamarzada for contributing ideas in lessons, and to Katerina for her explanation when solving a difficult Maths problem - well done, you two!
