Teddy bears picnic
“Terrific”, “Magical” and “Amazing” were just some of the words that our children used to describe their experience of the Teddy Bear’s Picnic. This event is an inclusive multi skills festival for select children. The children took part in lots of different activities, with their teddy bears, which were all run by Sports Leaders from local secondary schools, also with their teddy bears. Each session the children took part in was different and aimed to get them moving and exercising, they took part in lots of activities including; dancing, football, throwing and catching and skipping. At the end of the festival, a very special stuffed animal popped by to present the children with some certificates, Sarrie the Camel (the Saracens RFC team mascot).

Netball Inter-School Competition
The year 5 and 6 netball team travelled to Holly Park this week off the back of an impressive victory against Brunswick Park the week before. We got off to the best start possible with Sophia (the smallest player on the court!!) scoring the first points of the game. Unfortunately, we couldn’t capitalise on this great start and ended up losing to a very good Holly Park team. Mrs Church and Mrs Gordon were full of praise for the team, saying that they had never played as well as they did.

Family Festival
Every year group throughout the academic year has the opportunity to take part in an afternoon of various sporting activities at East Barnet Secondary School. This is a local partnership school that Livingstone has a connection with. Other schools from Barnet participate too and it is a chance for the children to mix with different peers. It is a fun and engaging activity for children to explore. As well as be inspired, as the event is ran by students from the school. Year 4 took part and had an incredible time getting involved!

Year 3 Dance Intra-house
To promote healthy competition, both Year 3 classes took part in a dance competition where they had to perform a routine that they created themselves in their house teams. Each group practised extremely hard with the help of Lauren, our P.E specialist teacher, to think of an imaginative sequence. Each dance routine was precise, well thought out and very creative. Every team had the opportunity to perform in front of Lauren, Miss Fairley and our P.E apprentice Sarah. Even though all the dances were speculator, there had to be a winner. Well done to the yellow teams!
