January Week 4
Friday 25th January
The school day finishes at 3.15…..
Just as we have a problem with pupils coming in late, there are also pupils who are not being collected on time. If this is a reoccurring issue, parents/carers will be notified and if the late collections persists they will charged for the care at CABIN Club rates.
Thank you to the parents who took the time to attend the DB-Primary our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) training sessions on Tuesday. We talked about the different advantages to having a VLE and the features that the children can access. The VLE provides a safe space for collaboration and communication between pupils which is monitored by staff and totally secure. It offers a range of curriculum activities and games providing instant feedback. Some teachers will use it to set homework which can be done online. If your child does not have their login details in the back of their reading diary please let their teacher know and they will be provided. In addition to the VLE, logins should be held for mathletics, times table rock stars, education city and bug club
Safer Internet day
National E-Safety Week starts in February but every week is E-safety week at Livingstone School. Please remind pupils of the risks of using the Internet not just on their computers and tablets but also on their phones and games consoles.

Sports News
On Tuesday, years 4, 5 and 6 played their first competitive netball match against Osidge. When the opposing team arrived, the first thought our team had was how tall they all were.
Livingstone played extremely well but unfortunately lost 2-0. The conditions were a real challenge as it started snowing halfway through. Mrs Church and Miss Gordon were extremely proud of the whole team: Shyam, Shivani, Daisy, Sammie, Sarah C, Jordan and Leo. Thank you to Mrs Church and Miss Gordon for their great coaching and to everyone who came to support the team in the extreme weather.
