As part of our History unit, The Roman Empire, we visited Colchester Castle. This trip also encompassed the Iron Age which consolidated our learning from our last History unit, The Stone Age to the Iron Age. In the castle, we examined artefacts, dressed as Iron Age citizens, and built roundhouses and Roman villas. We also toured the base of the Norman castle, which was created from the foundations of the ruined Temple of Claudius. This was built when Colchester was the capital of Britain - this fascinated the children!

Years 3, 4 and 5 learn to read and play music with the Suffolk County Music Service. Over the last few years, they have been learning to play the cornet. Today, we performed in the beautiful surroundings of Lavenham Church and we truly sounded wonderful. We followed up our performance with an Afternoon Tea for our families - it was a great opportunity to build a sense of community.

At Lavenham, we believe that teaching RE encourages our children to respect others and helps them to gain a broader understanding of views and beliefs. It contributes to and builds a more cohesive community.

So far this year, we have studied the religions Christianity and Islam. This term we are learning about Judaism and how symbols and stories help Jewish people to remember their covenant or agreement with God. In our first lesson, we all made a Mezuzah - a little box with some Jewish rules inside. It reminds Jewish people that they have a covenant with God. It is placed on door posts within the home and is often touched as a person walks past and helps them to remember.

What a week! Our Year 4 children tackled their Multiplication Tables Check this week and we're so proud of how they all took it in their strides. We talked aboout how we were well prepared for this and that this was their chance to shine - and they certainly did that!
