Link for this week's Science!
Welcome to the first term of YEAR 6! We are extremely proud of the pupils' achievements at Livingstone so far, whilst excited for their final year and all that is to come.
Year 6 is a really important year, as not only will the children be sitting their SATs in May (lots of hard work!), but many pupils will also be taking on wider roles of responsibility around the school and our younger pupils will look to them as role models. We also have lots of fun activities, visitors and trips to look forward to!
We would like to welcome Miss Kamina to the Year 6 team and we will also welcome Mrs Greenard back later in the school year.
This half-term, we will be reading 'Wonder' by R. J. Palacio, which is an uplifting and thought-provoking children's novel developing pupil's tolerance and understanding. It is an enjoyable, humorous text and we hope the children are going to love it as much as we do! For the second half of the Autumn term, we will be reading 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. It's a great read. Both books are written by American authors, which is our theme in Georgraphy this term too.
We will keep you up-to-date with everything. If you have any concerns or just want to have a question answered, please don't hesitate to catch us on the gate or ring the school office.
Our PE days are Monday and Friday
