Hail Phelan! Hail Phelan!
On Roman Day,4SB and 4F had to dress up as Romans. First thing in the morning they went outside in playground to find roman numerals that spell out a roman code. During the day, they did all kinds of activities which included making mosaics of roman pictures, had a war with the other class and they also made a sculpture of a roman, which most kids thought was very cool. By Ruby (5S)
Roman legions prepare for battle!
Our school have been using the VLE for at least a year now. It is a great way to learn especially as you can do it with your friends. The VLE stands for Virtual Learning Environment which totally lives up to its name. Many of my friends use it and they all said that it was absolutely fantastic. If I would rate it I would give it 11/10. If you do not have a digital device then you can go to our ICT club on Friday at 1PM during lunch time. That is all I have to say about it except for it is fantastic. By Jim Baker (5S)

Year 5BB Assembly
Year 5BB went to the Golden Hinde and performed an assembly about the ship. They expirienced the harsh life of a sailor and their assembly gave us many facts about what happened when people would sail the seven seas in the tudor times. They took us back to when Queen Elizabeth I ruled Engeland on the Golden Hinde with Sir Frances Drake himself ( Maria ) leading the ship.
The Year 5BB team is to thank for producing this amazing assembly with little to no time to prepare.
Thank you: Miss Breen, Mrs Britan, Mrs Boucon and Mrs Glister. By Sophia (Y6)

Safer Internet Day
Safer Internet Day is an annual event regarding being safe on the internet. In today’s society, many inappropriate images can pop up on a child’s screen; since technology has evolved so much in the past few decades, to prevent children from acting irresponsibly on the internet, an official day has been created to enhance a child’s understanding of behavior online. It is so important for children to know how they should use the internet because they need to know how to protect themselves. However, on the bright side, we are so lucky to be part of the community where parents (and adults) can help you with these issues, no matter WHAT happens. By Nicholas (Y6)
Netball
On Wednesday the 6th of February, Daisy, Shivani, Shyam, Darina, Jordan, Sarah, Adam, Leo and Olivia took part in the netball tournament against Holly Park, St Johns N11, Coppetts Wood, Martins School and Holly Park. On the first match they lost 2-0, and on the second match, they lost 3-0, but, on a more positive note, they drew 2-2. On the final match, they lost 2-0. Luckily, they won the friendly match 6-5. It was a tough time, but it’s the taking part that counts the most. By Maria (5BB)
Lights, Camera, Action!

There are lots of pupils at Livingstone school that have hidden talents and big ambitions. Sean Gordan in Yr 5BB has been doing auditions all term after his success at portraying Michael Jackson both in London Town and regularly at school.
Look out for his new advert on ESPN, where Sean plays a lot of American sports including trying out coaching. We all think he was ace! By Naomi (Yr5BB)
Sporting Reports
We went to the Rugby League Tag tournament at Allianz Park and performed really well. We won 1, drew 2 and lost 2. Tries came from Isaiah, Zoe, Sarah and Darina. Our improvement was shown by drawing 2-2 with Foulds who previously beat us 7-0. Mr Madle and Mr Thomas said they were very proud of us. By Daisy (5BB)
SNOW DAYS
On Friday February 1st, we had a load of snow hit Barnet, especially at Livingstone school. It was an amazing day for all students, who had a tone of fun in the snow at the end of the day. We were let out, and all had snowball fights, built snowmen, and rolled down hills of snow! It was fantastic, and certainly a day to remember! By Darina (Y6)
Mathletic Bowling
On Thursday 7th February, the school took the top 30 Mathletes on a trip to the Hollywood bowl. It came with a lunch of their choice; they had an hour of fun knocking down pins with lots of laughter. It was well deserved fun for lots of hard extra work completed at home. By Eleni (Y4SB)
Livingstone Girls Vs Foulds & Livingstone Boys Vs Foulds
Year 5/6 girls played their last game in the Barnet League and what a game it was! Triumphantly, 5 goals were scored overall leaving the score 5-0. The girls have played fantastically together making Livingstone proud. They have been ever so dedicated to team practice and have had an excellent sporting attitude to working as a team. Well done to Roxy, Sarah, Karolina, Daisy, Darina, Zoe, Isabella, Sophia and Naomi.

Year 5/6 boys played against Foulds, at home, and showed amazing skills. Out of all the games played so far, this match demonstrated how well they can work as a team and the effort they have put into their practice. The boys dominated the first half but sadly the game ended 2-2. With this, it was tie but the boys should be immensely proud of how much improvement they have made. Well done to Ryley, Harry.L, Kiah, Kacper, Archie, Adam, Joviel, Charlie, Baheer, JJ and Mo.
