Poetry Week
This week is Poetry week and we have started the week off by welcoming Lauren Kara to Iveson. She worked with all of KS2 to share some of her own poetry. We then had a go at writing some of our poems.

Science
In Science, we have been exploring classification systems. In groups, we created different categories and grouped the animals based on similar characteristics. Some of the animals like the duck-billed platypus proved to be challenging!
Puzzle cubes
We have been exploring puzzle cubes in Kestrels. Did you know there's a limited set of algorithms that will allow you to solve a puzzle cube? We've been using apps and formula to help us try and solve them. Daren is our Rubiks champion at the moment, but everyone is trying to catch him up! Can you do it?
STEM
Last week we explored chemical reactions to fuel our rockets... We particularly enjoyed producing gases from combining acid and alkali (and bursting balloons)
History
This term we're exploring the history of Kirkstall Abbey, and we've begun by developing our understanding of Tudor times and the dissolution of monasteries.
Macbeth
This year we're performing Macberh, and have created poetry for each act. Come and join us on the 16th July for our show!!
