From 14^th-18^th October, a new chapter will be released each morning for you to read - www.tompalmer.co.uk/leeds-SLS

 

Kofi, Meera and Tom are on a school trip to Elland Road. But only one of them supports Leeds United. When they start an argument about Leeds' football club and the city itself, they are visited by a mystery ghost, who sets them challenges to guide them through Leeds United's centenary week. A week that will make them rethink their city and its football team. Celebrating the rich multicultural history of Leeds and how Elland Road has done its bit for internationalising the city, will the trio meet all their challenges and find out who their ghost really is?

We hope you've had a fantastic summer break and are ready for the start of another great year at Iveson! We're going to be spending the next few days in school getting everything ready for your first day back, but we'll see you ready and raring to go on Wednesday. We hope you're as excited for the start of term as we are!

Do you want to take part in the Maths Challenges over the summer? Do you want your children to keep busy over the holidays practising their maths skills?

We are running two maths challenges over the summer - see the details and links below.
